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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18377402 titled 'DETECTION OF ATTACHMENT PROBLEM OF APPARATUS BEING WORN BY USER

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a personal authentication device that uses an acoustic signal transmitted through the user's head to authenticate their identity. The device includes a personal authentication means that calculates an acoustic characteristic from the detected signal and extracts a feature amount from it.

The device also includes an attachment trouble rule storage means that stores rules for detecting any attachment issues with the device, and an attachment trouble detection means that detects any trouble with the attachment state of the device when the calculated acoustic characteristic satisfies the attachment trouble rule.

  • The personal authentication device uses an acoustic signal transmitted through the user's head for personal authentication.
  • It calculates an acoustic characteristic and extracts a feature amount from it.
  • The device can detect any attachment issues with the device.
  • It can detect trouble with the attachment state of the device based on the calculated acoustic characteristic.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Personal authentication in various settings such as access control systems, secure facilities, and online platforms.
  • Biometric identification in healthcare settings for patient verification.
  • Enhanced security measures in banking and financial institutions.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Prevents false determinations caused by attachment conditions of the device.
  • Ensures accurate personal authentication by using acoustic characteristics.
  • Detects attachment troubles with the device, ensuring its proper functioning.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability in personal authentication.
  • Enhanced security measures by using unique acoustic characteristics.
  • Minimizes the risk of unauthorized access or identity theft.


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.
