REPORTING SYSTEM, REPORTING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240160710 titled 'REPORTING SYSTEM, REPORTING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a reporting system that determines whether 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 in one ear.
- The system determines if an earphone is worn in one ear of the user.
- Instruction information is provided to wear the earphone if it is not worn.
- Otoacoustic authentication is used to authenticate the user if the earphone is worn in one ear.
- Otoacoustic authentication involves sending out a test sound towards the ear canal and authenticating the user based on the reflected sound.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in:
- Security systems
- Wearable technology
- Healthcare devices
Problems Solved
This technology helps in:
- Ensuring proper use of earphones
- Providing secure authentication methods
- Enhancing user experience with wearable devices
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved security measures
- Convenient user authentication
- Enhanced user interaction with devices
Potential Commercial Applications
Title: Applications of Otoacoustic Authentication Technology This technology could be commercially applied in:
- Smart headphones
- Biometric authentication devices
- Access control systems
Possible Prior Art
There are no known prior art examples related to this specific otoacoustic authentication technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system differentiate between the user wearing the earphone and someone else wearing it?
The system likely uses unique characteristics of the user's ear canal to authenticate the user, ensuring that only the authorized user can access the device.
What happens if the user does not follow the instruction information to wear the earphone?
If the user does not follow the instruction information, the system may not proceed with the authentication process, or it may provide additional prompts to ensure compliance.
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.
