Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Virtual Reality (VR) terminals lack effective identity verification methods, making them vulnerable to fraudulent users, especially since traditional password-based systems are not suitable for immersive VR environments.
Innovation Solution
The system uses preset sensing hardware to obtain and compare interaction characteristics, such as head posture and 3D gestures, with authorized user profiles for identity verification, and implements ongoing verification processes to enhance security.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If traditional password-based verification systems are used in VR terminals, then user identity verification can be performed, but the system becomes vulnerable to fraudulent users and unauthorized access
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional password-based mechanical verification systems with biometric-based verification using sensing hardware. The system captures physiological characteristics (fingerprints, facial recognition, iris patterns) and behavioral characteristics (typing patterns, mouse movements, voice patterns) to authenticate users, eliminating the vulnerability of password-based systems to fraud and unauthorized access.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically captures and analyzes user characteristics without requiring active user participation beyond the initial authentication act. The sensing hardware continuously monitors and verifies user identity based on captured biometric and behavioral data, providing ongoing verification without interrupting the user experience.
2Reliability
If biometric sensing hardware is added to VR terminals for identity verification, then security against fraudulent users is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates multiple sensing hardware components (cameras, microphones, accelerometers, gyroscopes) that serve dual purposes: capturing biometric data for authentication and providing functional data for VR interactions. This multi-functionality reduces the need for dedicated authentication hardware, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system merges the identity verification function with the existing VR terminal functionality. The same sensing hardware used for tracking user movements and interactions in the VR environment is also utilized for capturing biometric and behavioral characteristics, combining multiple functions into a unified system rather than adding separate dedicated components.
3Reliability
If ongoing identity verification is implemented in VR sessions, then security against unauthorized access is enhanced, but processing time and system resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs continuous background verification of user identity throughout the VR session without interrupting the user experience. The sensing hardware continuously captures biometric and behavioral data, and the system continuously compares this data against stored profiles, maintaining ongoing authentication while the user interacts with the VR environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs rapid comparison of captured characteristics against stored profiles using efficient algorithms, quickly determining authentication status without noticeable delay. The continuous verification process is optimized to operate in real-time with minimal processing overhead, rushing through the verification steps so quickly that users are unaware of the ongoing security checks.

AI summary
Interaction characteristics of a user interacting with a virtual reality (VR) terminal are obtained through preset sensing hardware in response to a request for execution of a target task requiring user identity verification. The obtained interaction characteristics of the user are compared with preset interaction characteristics of an authorized user of the VR terminal to verify identity of the user. The target task is executed and the user is authenticated as an identity-verified user of the VR terminal based on a successful user identity verification.
