Face-Authenticated Visit Image Generation for Multi-Point Promotion
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing stamp rally systems are insufficient in promoting user visits and utilizing the recorded visits effectively for regional revitalization or purchase promotion.
Innovation Solution
A visit promotion apparatus and system that captures user images, performs face authentication, generates composite images of visited points, and transmits them to display terminals when specific conditions are met, including successful face authentication at multiple points and payment history.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If face authentication is performed at multiple points to verify actual visits, then the reliability of visit verification is improved, but the complexity of the authentication system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system is divided into multiple independent authentication points distributed across the region. Each point has its own authentication apparatus that independently verifies users. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high reliability through multiple verification locations without requiring a single complex centralized system.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication apparatus at each point serves multiple functions: verifying user identity, recording visit information, and generating authentication results. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized systems at each point, thereby managing complexity while maintaining reliability.
2Productivity
If composite images are generated and transmitted to display terminals to provide visit information, then the effectiveness of visit promotion is improved, but the loss of information in transmission and processing increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a composite image that is a visual copy or representation of the user's visit history and the locations visited. This copying approach allows the system to transmit and process visit information in a condensed, manageable format that preserves essential information while reducing data transmission requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The system extracts key visit information and visual characteristics from the authentication process and encapsulates them into the composite image. By taking out only the essential information needed for promotion rather than transmitting all raw data, the system reduces information loss during transmission while maintaining promotion effectiveness.
3Quantity of substance
If captured images are processed and composite images are generated from multiple points, then the quantity of useful visit information is improved, but the processing time and energy consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple captured images from different authentication points into a single composite image that represents the user's complete visit history. This combining approach consolidates the quantity of visit information into one unified output, reducing the total energy consumption compared to processing and transmitting multiple separate images individually.
Solution Approach 2:
The authentication apparatus performs preliminary processing of captured images at the time of authentication, extracting essential features and preparing them for composite image generation. This preliminary action reduces the processing burden later when creating the composite image, thereby reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining the quantity of useful information.

AI summary
Provided are visit promotion apparatuses for providing users who have actually visited various points with information in which visits to the respective points are recorded. A visit promotion apparatus (100) includes: an acquisition unit (130) configured to acquire captured images in which a user is photographed; an authentication control unit (140) configured to extract the user's face area or facial feature information from the captured images and cause an authentication apparatus (200) to perform face authentication; an image generation unit (170) configured to, when a prescribed image generation condition based on the face authentication at a plurality of points is satisfied, generate a composite image including the captured images at the respective points of the user who has succeeded in the face authentication; and an output unit (180) configured to transmit the composite image generated by the image generation unit (170) to a prescribed display terminal.
