Solution Overview

Problem

Current XR devices lack the capability to transfer high-level authentication, including user actions and biometric information, to a remote location, necessitating physical presence of a notary public and incurring additional costs and risks of impersonation.

Innovation Solution

XR devices equipped with sensors capture biometric information and user actions, assign authentication levels based on this data, create digital files with embedded tokens, and transfer them to a second party for verification, eliminating the need for physical notary presence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a notary public is physically present to witness and seal documents, then authentication reliability is improved, but loss of time and convenience deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidtime to locate and wait for notary public
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a digital copy of the notary public's seal and stamp as a cryptographic token that can be embedded in digital files. This digital seal copy can be transferred and verified remotely without requiring the physical presence of the notary public, thus resolving the contradiction between authentication reliability and time loss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a digital token as an intermediary that carries the notary public's authentication credentials. This token can be transferred electronically between parties, eliminating the need for physical notary presence while maintaining authentication integrity through cryptographic verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If a notary public is physically present to witness signing, then authentication reliability is improved, but device complexity and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidcomplexity of notary public services
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent digitizes the notary public's seal and stamp into a cryptographic token that can be replicated and transferred electronically. This eliminates the need for complex physical notary equipment and procedures while maintaining authentication reliability through digital verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of physical notary presence, stamps, and seals with a digital cryptographic system. This substitution eliminates the complexity of physical notary services while maintaining or enhancing authentication reliability through cryptographic verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Reliability

If a notary public's stamp and seal are used for verification, then authentication reliability is improved, but object-generated harmful factors increase due to impersonation risks

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication reliabilityVSAvoidmalicious copying and impersonation of notary public
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a secure digital copy of the notary public's seal that incorporates cryptographic elements making it resistant to malicious copying. The digital token contains unique identifiers and cryptographic signatures that prevent impersonation while allowing legitimate replication for authentication purposes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms the notary public's seal from a physical object with fixed parameters to a digital token with dynamic cryptographic parameters. This includes unique identifiers, digital signatures, and verification codes that change or validate through cryptographic processes, making impersonation difficult while maintaining authentication reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Systems and Method are provided for transferring authentication from an extended reality (“XR”) device. The systems and method may include the XR device comprising a sensor, and a computing device in electronic communication with the sensor. The sensor may collect biometric information from a user. The computing device may assign a first authentication level based on the biometric information. The user may be prompted to sign or virtually sign a document. The sensor may record a video recording of the user signing the document. The computing device may create a digital file from the video recording and a token indicating the first authentication level and the biometric information. The computing device may embed the token into the digital file. The digital file with the embedded token may be transferred to a second party.
