Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
During teleconference doctor visits, patients face challenges in securely and easily transmitting biometric data from medical equipment to doctors, as existing systems lack integration of vital biometric data into the video conferencing stream.
Innovation Solution
A system and method that embeds biometric data from medical equipment into the video conferencing stream, allowing patients to transmit this data securely to doctors during virtual visits, using a video conference device that receives and encodes user video and audio data along with detector data, encrypts it, and transmits it over a secure communication channel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biometric data is transmitted separately from video conferencing data, then data security is maintained, but system complexity increases and integration becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines biometric data and video conferencing data into a single integrated data stream for transmission. The system merges detector data (biometric information) with user video and audio data, then transmits them together through one communication channel, eliminating the need for separate transmission paths while maintaining security through unified encryption.
Solution Approach 2:
The video conference device is enhanced to perform multiple functions: it not only handles traditional video and audio conferencing but also acquires, processes, and transmits biometric data from detector devices. This multi-functional approach allows a single device to manage both conventional communication and medical data transmission without requiring separate specialized equipment.
2Ease of operation
If biometric data is embedded within video conferencing stream, then transmission simplicity increases, but data security may be compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges biometric data with video conferencing data into a single integrated stream, simplifying the transmission process. Both data types are combined, encoded together, and sent through one communication channel, making the system easier to operate while maintaining security through unified encryption of the combined stream.
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies encryption parameters to the combined data stream, transforming the integrated biometric and video/audio data into a secure encrypted format. This parameter change (encryption) ensures that even though data is embedded together, the security requirement is maintained through cryptographic protection of the unified stream.
3Reliability
If multiple separate communication channels are used for different data types, then data security and reliability are improved, but bandwidth consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple data types (biometric data, video data, audio data) into a single integrated data stream that is transmitted through one communication channel. This merging approach reduces the total number of communication channels required, thereby conserving bandwidth while maintaining transmission reliability through unified error handling and encryption.
Solution Approach 2:
The single communication channel is designed to handle multiple types of data simultaneously, making it a universal transmission path. This multi-functional channel can carry both conventional conferencing data and medical biometric data, eliminating the need for separate dedicated channels and reducing overall bandwidth consumption.

AI summary
A system and method are provided for a detector device for use with a first video conference device, a second video conference device, and WAN. The video conference devices are configured to: establish a video conference over a secure communication channel over the WAN; to encode user video/audio data; to encrypt the encoded data; to provide the encrypted data to the other video conference device; to receive encrypted data; to decrypt the encrypted data; decode the encoded data; instruct the display to display video data based on the decoded video data; and instruct the speaker to play audio data based on the decoded audio data. The first video conference device is additionally configured to: receive detector data from the detector device; to encode detector data; to encrypt the encoded data; and to provide the encrypted data to the other video conference device.
