Biometric Boarding Verification Using Procedure-Status Filtering
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing biometric information comparison systems in airports suffer from reduced accuracy due to the large number of populations used for comparison, leading to inefficiencies.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that associates boarding information with biometric information and selects registered biometric data based on the status of a user's boarding procedure, allowing for targeted and accurate comparison of biometric information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If image captured by network camera installed within airport is used for comparison, then traceability check can be performed, but the number of populations used for comparison increases and accuracy in comparison of biometrics information decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the large population of all airport passengers into smaller, relevant subsets by filtering based on procedure status. Only users who have completed specific procedures (check-in, security inspection, immigration) are included in the comparison set, transforming an unwieldy large-scale comparison into manageable targeted comparisons that maintain high accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by making the comparison criteria specific to each user's procedural status. Different users are compared against different subsets of registered biometric information based on which procedures they have completed, ensuring that each comparison uses the most relevant and appropriate reference data rather than a uniform approach for all users.
2Reliability
If multiple biometrics information are stored and compared for different procedures, then comprehensive authentication is achieved, but the complexity of managing and selecting appropriate biometrics information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamics by making the set of registered biometric information adaptable and changeable based on user actions. As users complete different procedures (check-in, security, immigration), their registered biometric data is dynamically updated and organized. The comparison unit dynamically selects which registered biometric information to use based on the user's current procedural status, simplifying the management complexity while maintaining comprehensive authentication.
3Measurement precision
If biometrics information from check-in procedure is registered and compared, then identity verification accuracy improves, but the scope of applicable users is limited to those who completed check-in
Solution Approach 1:
The patent achieves universality by creating a multi-functional biometric comparison system that can handle multiple user scenarios. The system universally applies the same comparison methodology across different user groups (check-in completed, security completed, immigration completed, or any combination), adapting the registered biometric information set according to each user's procedural status. This allows the system to maintain high verification accuracy while being versatile enough to accommodate users at any stage of the airport processing workflow.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: an information management unit that registers boarding information on users regarding boarding and biometrics information on the users acquired by a check-in procedure of the users in association with each other; and a comparison unit that compares target biometrics information, is biometrics information acquired in a procedure up to the boarding for one of the users, with registered biometrics s information, which is the biometrics information registered by the information management unit, and the comparison unit selects the registered biometrics information to be compared with the target biometrics information based on status regarding the procedure up to the boarding of the user corresponding to the registered biometrics information.
