Wearable Biometric Sensor for Inner Structure Authentication
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing electronic devices lack effective security measures to protect user information and usage security, particularly when unauthorized possession occurs, as they rely on surface biometrics that can be compromised or simulated.
Innovation Solution
An electronic device with a wearable apparatus that detects and verifies biometric information from inner structural characteristics, such as blood vessel and skeleton arrangements, using sensors that transmit and collect light or sound waves to ensure secure authentication and operation mode switching based on matching biometric data.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If surface biometric authentication is used, then authentication speed is fast, but security reliability is low because surface biometrics can be compromised or simulated
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from two-dimensional surface biometric authentication to three-dimensional inner structural biometric authentication. By detecting blood vessel arrangements, skeleton structures, and other internal body features through optical or acoustic waves, the system achieves higher security reliability while maintaining acceptable device complexity through integrated sensor designs.
2Reliability
If inner structural biometric information is detected, then security reliability is improved, but measurement precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calibration and baseline establishment by storing reference inner structural biometric information for authorized users before actual authentication. This pre-established baseline enables more robust real-time measurements and comparisons, reducing the precision burden on individual measurement instances while maintaining high security reliability.
3Reliability
If multiple biometric parameters are detected, then security level is enhanced, but use of energy increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements periodic or on-demand biometric detection rather than continuous monitoring. The sensor system activates detection cycles based on authentication triggers or time intervals, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining enhanced security levels when authentication is required. Multiple biometric parameters are detected in batch during these periodic cycles.
