DETECTION OF ATTACHMENT PROBLEM OF APPARATUS BEING WORN BY USER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18377477 titled 'DETECTION OF ATTACHMENT PROBLEM OF APPARATUS BEING WORN BY USER

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a personal authentication device that prevents false determinations caused by attachment issues of an apparatus that transmits and receives acoustic signals. The device uses first information, including an acoustic characteristic calculated from an acoustic signal detected by an apparatus attached to the user's head, to authenticate the individual. It also extracts a feature amount from the acoustic characteristic. The device includes an attachment trouble rule storage means to store rules for detecting attachment issues and an attachment trouble detection means to identify trouble with the attachment state of the apparatus when the first information satisfies the attachment trouble rule.

  • The personal authentication device uses acoustic signals and an attachment apparatus to authenticate individuals.
  • It calculates an acoustic characteristic from the acoustic signal detected by the attached apparatus.
  • The device extracts a feature amount from the acoustic characteristic for authentication purposes.
  • It stores attachment trouble rules to detect any issues with the attachment of the apparatus.
  • The device can detect trouble with the attachment state of the apparatus based on the first information and the attachment trouble rules.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Personal authentication systems for secure access to devices or facilities.
  • Biometric identification systems for verifying the identity of individuals.
  • Security systems for preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information or areas.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • False determinations caused by attachment issues of the apparatus are prevented, ensuring accurate personal authentication.
  • The device can detect and alert users to any trouble with the attachment state of the apparatus, improving reliability and usability.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Enhanced security and protection against unauthorized access.
  • Improved accuracy in personal authentication, reducing the risk of false identifications.
  • User-friendly design with the ability to detect and address attachment issues, ensuring reliable operation.


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided is to prevent a false determination due to an attachment condition of an apparatus that transmits and receives an acoustic signal, and perform accurate personal authentication. A personal authentication device includes: a personal authentication means that authenticates an individual by using first information at least including an acoustic characteristic calculated from an acoustic signal propagating through the head of the user, which is detected by an apparatus being attached on a head of a user for transmitting and receiving the acoustic signal, and a feature amount extracted from the acoustic characteristic; an attachment trouble rule storage means that stores an attachment trouble rule for detecting an attachment trouble with the apparatus; and an attachment trouble detection means that detects a trouble with an attachment state of the apparatus when the first information satisfies the attachment trouble rule.
