Video Access System Using Biometric Metadata for Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current video information systems lack security measures to ensure that only authorized users access and manipulate video data, as there is no guarantee that the rightful user inputs the ID and password, especially in cloud-based systems accessible via external networks.
Innovation Solution
A video information system that requires users to input metadata, including biomedical and non-biomedical information, which is stored with the video data, allowing subsequent users to access access history and authenticate the previous user's identity, using a module that generates different inquiry combinations for enhanced security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If only ID and password authentication is used, then ease of operation is improved, but security is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting metadata (biomedical and non-biomedical information) from users before they access video data. This advance data collection creates a profile that can be used for later authentication and identification, enabling the system to verify user identity without requiring complex real-time authentication procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces metadata as an intermediary element between the user and the video data access system. Instead of directly relying on ID and password, the system uses metadata (including biomedical information like fingerprints or facial recognition data) as a mediator to authenticate and identify users, thereby enhancing security while maintaining ease of operation.
2Adaptability or versatility
If cloud storage is used for video data, then adaptability is improved, but security is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by collecting and storing metadata (biomedical and non-biomedical information) from users before they access video data. This advance data collection creates a profile that can be used for later authentication and identification, enabling the system to verify user identity without requiring complex real-time authentication procedures.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by providing access history information to users. When a user accesses video data, the system retrieves and displays metadata about previous users, creating a feedback loop that enhances security awareness and enables users to identify unauthorized access attempts.
3Reliability
If access history is tracked and displayed, then security is improved, but device complexity is worsened
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies universality by using a single metadata storage structure that serves multiple functions: storing biomedical information for authentication, storing non-biomedical information for identification, and maintaining access history for security monitoring. This multi-functional approach reduces the need for separate systems and minimizes overall device complexity.
Data Source
AI summary
Provided are a video information system and a method of providing video data access history. Biomedical information or non-biomedical information that may authorize a user who is accessing video data stored in the video information system is stored to be linked to the video data as metadata of the video data, and thus, an authorized user who later accesses the video information system may identify an identity of a user who has accessed the video data. If it is determined that the user is an unauthorized user, the biomedical information or the non-biomedical information of the user may be used to determine who the unauthorized user is.
