REPORTING SYSTEM, REPORTING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18282750 titled 'REPORTING SYSTEM, REPORTING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system that determines if an earphone is worn in one ear of a user, provides instruction information to wear the earphone if it is not worn, and authenticates the user through otoacoustic authentication if the earphone is worn after the instruction is given.
- System determines if earphone is worn in one ear
- Provides instruction information to wear earphone if not worn
- Authenticates user through otoacoustic authentication if earphone is worn
- Otoacoustic authentication sends test sound towards ear canal and authenticates user based on reflected sound
Potential Applications
The technology could be applied in:
- Wearable devices
- Security systems
- Healthcare monitoring
Problems Solved
The technology addresses issues such as:
- Unauthorized access
- User authentication
- User compliance with wearing earphones
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Enhanced security
- Convenient user authentication
- Improved user experience
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be used in:
- Smart headphones
- Biometric security systems
- Fitness trackers
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing biometric authentication systems using otoacoustic authentication.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system handle background noise during otoacoustic authentication?
The system may use noise-canceling technology to minimize background noise interference during otoacoustic authentication.
What happens if the user does not follow the instruction to wear the earphone?
If the user does not comply with the instruction to wear the earphone, the system may not proceed with the authentication process.
Original Abstract Submitted
A reporting system determines whether an earphone is worn in one ear of a user, reports instruction information instructing the user to wear the earphone when it is determined that the earphone is not worn, and authenticates the user by otoacoustic authentication when it is determined that the earphone is worn in one ear after the instruction information is reported. The otoacoustic authentication is an authentication method that sends out a test sound in the direction of the ear canal of the one ear or other ear of the user, and authenticates the user based on the reflected sound to the test sound.
