Biometric Authentication Terminal for Event Entry
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing biometric authentication systems for event entry require a server to store biometric information and an authentication apparatus to acquire and verify this information, which is burdensome for event organizers, especially for one-off events like outdoor music concerts.
Innovation Solution
A terminal equipped with an identity verification unit that performs biometric authentication using information from an identity verification document and the user's biometric data, and a ticket issuance control unit that verifies the user's identity for ticket issuance, allowing for successful authentication without relying on a central server.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a server and authentication apparatus are used for biometric authentication, then authentication reliability is improved, but device complexity and operational burden increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the biometric authentication function from the centralized server system and embeds it directly into the terminal device. The terminal now performs biometric authentication locally using its own processor and stored biometric data, eliminating the need for dedicated authentication apparatus while maintaining authentication reliability
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device is designed to perform multiple functions: it serves as both the user interface for ticket purchase and as the biometric authentication device for venue entry. By integrating the authentication capability into the terminal, the system eliminates dedicated authentication hardware while maintaining security and reliability
2Measurement precision
If a server stores biometric information, then authentication accuracy is improved, but loss of information and security risks increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the biometric information storage from the centralized server and distributes it to individual terminal devices. Each terminal stores its own user's biometric data locally, eliminating the single point of failure and reducing the security risk of centralized biometric databases while maintaining authentication accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The terminal device performs self-authentication by comparing biometric data locally stored in its memory with newly captured biometric data. This self-service authentication mechanism eliminates the need to transmit sensitive biometric information over networks, reducing security risks while maintaining authentication accuracy
Data Source
AI summary
A terminal includes an identity verification unit and a ticket issuance control unit. The identity verification unit performs an identity verification of a ticket purchase applicant by a first biometric authentication using a first biometric information acquired from an identity verification document and a second biometric information of the ticket purchase applicant. The identity verification unit stores a third biometric information of the ticket purchase applicant who has been successfully verified. The ticket issuance control unit performs a second biometric authentication using a fourth biometric information of a ticket issuance applicant and the stored third biometric information. The ticket issuance control unit performs a processing related to an issuance of a ticket when the second biometric authentication has been successful.
