Transparent Viewing Device for Secure Document Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing devices for verifying the authenticity of sensitive documents with electronic verification means do not provide optimal security, as agents must look away from the person being checked to access verification information, potentially compromising safety during identification checks.
Innovation Solution
A method and device that allow authorized users to view verification information on a transparent medium, such as a viewing device integrated into spectacles, while maintaining surveillance of the individual, with secure information transfer and encryption to prevent unauthorized access.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If verification information is displayed on a traditional screen or indicator, then the agent can access verification information, but the agent must look away from the person undergoing the check, compromising safety
Solution Approach 1:
A transparent display device is introduced as an intermediary between the verification system and the agent's visual field. This display superimposes verification information over the agent's view of the person being verified, allowing simultaneous viewing of both the subject and verification data without requiring the agent to shift attention or look away, thereby maintaining continuous surveillance while providing access to verification information
Solution Approach 2:
The verification information is transferred from a traditional 2D screen to a transparent overlay dimension that sits between the agent and the verification subject. This dimensional change allows information to be displayed in the agent's line of sight rather than requiring lateral or downward glances at separate indicators, enabling continuous visual contact with the person being verified
2Reliability
If verification information is made accessible on a transparent viewing device, then the agent can maintain surveillance of the person, but additional security measures are needed to prevent unauthorized access to data
Solution Approach 1:
Different security levels are applied to different aspects of the system: the transparent display itself provides open access for authorized viewing, while encrypted communication channels and authentication protocols protect the data transmission and storage. The security measures are localized to the data path rather than requiring physical barriers or complex access controls that would interfere with the transparent display's visibility
Solution Approach 2:
Security authentication and encryption are performed in advance before verification information is displayed on the transparent device. The system verifies the agent's authorization credentials and establishes encrypted communication channels prior to displaying any sensitive information, ensuring that only authorized users can access the transparent display while maintaining continuous surveillance

AI summary
This invention relates to a method used by an authorized user for the verification of a document having electronic verification means, The method comprises the various steps consisting in:—reading, with electronic reading equipment with which the authorized user is equipped, of information stored in the electronic verification means of the verified document;—transferring verification information, established on the basis of the information saved in the electronic verification means, from the electronic reading equipment to a viewing device of the authorized user, which viewing device is positioned, in normal conditions of use, in front of the eyes of the authorized user, the said viewing device being transparent to allow the said authorized user to see through it.
