These entries are the direct inputs to OBVIOUSNESS_TEMPLATE.md. Any patent claim combining these two elements is anticipated or rendered obvious by the chain below.
Blade Runner — the Voight-Kampff machine (contactless multi-physiological liveness/identity test) (1968)
- id:
blade-runner-voight-kampff - corpus: fictional
- form factor: other
- creator: Philip K. Dick
- disclosure: Dick, Philip K. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Doubleday, 1968 (film: Blade Runner, Warner Bros., 1982); a portable instrument that measures involuntary physiological responses — pupil dilation, ‘capillary dilation of the so-called blush response’, heart rate, micro-expression — under questioning, to classify a subject as human or replicant.
- ip status: fictional
- sensors: sensor-camera-ir, sensor-camera-eye
- algorithms: algo-pupillometry, algo-hr, algo-emotion-recognition
- prior art notes: Discloses a device that contactlessly measures multiple involuntary physiological signals from a person’s face (pupil dilation, blush/capillary response, heart rate, micro-expression) and fuses them into a binary classification of the subject. Relevant to remote-photoplethysmography / pupillometry / ‘deception or liveness detection’ claims combining ‘contactless facial imaging’, ‘extraction of two or more involuntary physiological signals’, and ‘a classification of the subject’. § 103 motivation as of 1968. Cf. [[psycho-pass-cymatic-scan]], [[gattaca-biometric-checkpoints]].
Total Recall walk-through whole-body imaging scanner (1990-06-01)
- id:
total-recall-walkthrough-body-scanner - corpus: fictional
- form factor: other
- creator: Paul Verhoeven / Carolco Pictures
- disclosure: Total Recall (TriStar Pictures), released June 1, 1990; the spaceport security archway that produces a real-time full-body anatomical/skeletal image of each person walking through it, highlighting concealed objects.
- ip status: fictional
- sensors: sensor-camera-ir
- prior art notes: Discloses a walk-through portal that images the full body of a person passing through in real time, rendering internal anatomy and detecting concealed items on the body. Relevant to walk-through whole-body scanner claims combining ‘a portal a person passes through’, ‘imaging hardware producing a body image’, and ‘detection of objects carried on the body’ — i.e. the millimeter-wave / backscatter advanced-imaging-technology patent space. § 103 motivation that the walk-through whole-body imager was an articulated objective by 1990. Non-enabling on the imaging physics.
Minority Report ambient retinal identification and personalization (2002-06-21)
- id:
minority-report-retinal-id-ads - corpus: fictional
- form factor: other
- creator: Steven Spielberg / DreamWorks / 20th Century Fox
- disclosure: Minority Report (20th Century Fox / DreamWorks), released June 21, 2002; environmental cameras performing continuous retinal/iris identification of passers-by to deliver individually personalized advertising and access control. (Based on Philip K. Dick, ‘The Minority Report’, Fantastic Universe, 1956.)
- ip status: fictional
- sensors: sensor-camera-ir, sensor-camera-eye
- prior art notes: Discloses continuous, contactless retinal/iris biometric identification of individuals in a public space, with the identity used to trigger personalized content and access decisions in real time. Relevant to (a) contactless ocular-biometric identification claims and (b) identity-triggered personalization claims. § 103 motivation that always-on ambient retinal ID with downstream personalization was an articulated objective by 2002. Non-enabling on the optical pipeline; pair with enabling iris-recognition art.
