Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems face challenges in completing both information acquisition and biometrics comparison in a short time, particularly in immigration management systems that separate these processes.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that includes a reading unit for acquiring information, including biometrics, from a medium, and a biometrics information acquisition unit, allowing simultaneous reading and comparison of biometric data during the information acquisition process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If biometrics information comparison is performed separately from information acquisition, then identity verification accuracy is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the information acquisition process and biometrics information comparison process into a single integrated operation. The reading unit reads the medium containing biometrics information while simultaneously acquiring biometrics information from the user, eliminating the need for separate processing steps and reducing overall processing time while maintaining verification accuracy
2Loss of time
If information acquisition and biometrics comparison are performed simultaneously, then processing time is reduced, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The reading unit is designed to perform multiple functions: it both reads the medium containing biometrics information and acquires biometrics information from the user simultaneously. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate dedicated components for each task, thereby reducing system complexity while enabling simultaneous operation to decrease processing time

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a memory for storing instructions and a processor to execute the instructions to read a first medium including a first biometrics information, read a code indicated in a second medium, and capture a second biometrics information on a user at a time when one of the first medium and the code is read.
