Event Image Repository With Facial Recognition Access Control
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for archiving event images and messages suffer from scattered, missing, and uncurated content, duplicate images, and inadequate security, with cumbersome user interactions and high costs, limiting user experience and accessibility.
Innovation Solution
A system and method for creating an event repository using facial recognition to automatically identify and link attendees, allowing asynchronous image storage and communication initiation, with customizable security and simplified event creation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram) are used for event image archiving, then server-based repository access is provided, but user experience deteriorates due to scattered, missing, and uncurated content across multiple devices and platforms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges image storage and event management into a single integrated platform. The server consolidates images from multiple sources into one centralized repository accessible via a single application, eliminating the need to navigate across Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms. This combining of scattered resources into one unified system directly addresses the user experience problem while maintaining reliable archiving.
2Quantity of substance
If manual image upload and curation is performed by users, then image collection is achieved, but time consumption and complexity increase due to multiple steps required
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automatic image collection where the application autonomously gathers images from various sources without requiring manual user intervention. The server automatically receives, stores, and organizes images uploaded by attendees during the event, eliminating the time-consuming manual curation process while ensuring complete image collection.
3Reliability
If security measures are implemented for image access, then copyright and user privilege protection is improved, but user interaction is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements differentiated security levels for different user roles and content types. The system applies specific security measures tailored to each user's permission level - hosts have full control, attendees have upload permissions, and viewers have read-only access. This localized security approach protects copyright and user privileges while maintaining smooth user interaction within each security context.
4Quantity of substance
If existing event archiving services (Wedpics, Eversnap) are used, then image collection is achieved, but cost increases and user interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal event management platform that handles multiple functions within a single application - image archiving, event coordination, attendee communication, and security management. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate specialized services like Wedpics or Eversnap, reducing both cost and interface complexity while maintaining comprehensive image archiving capabilities.
Data Source
AI summary
An image archiving facility creates an image and other data archive relating to an event at a location when prompted by a downloaded application for a host user. The host user may approve guest users to upload to the archive. Approval may come from an image of a person uploaded to the data archive and recognized from biometric data as an approved user. The host may control viewing of images in the archive either individually or generically.
