Face Authentication Machine Progress Notification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing face authentication systems face challenges in safely managing personal information and providing users with clear progress updates during the authentication process, particularly in scenarios where face image data and feature data are stored on cloud servers without adequate security measures and notification mechanisms.
Innovation Solution
A face authentication machine that requests processing from a face authentication server upon user action, acquiring live images of the user and displaying authentication progress on a display unit, with a processor controlling the acquisition and display to show notification screens indicating the authentication status, ensuring secure management of personal information and user awareness.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If face authentication is performed using wireless tag (IC card), then the target person can be narrowed down for authentication, but the user must carry the IC card at all times which creates safety management issues for personal information
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the wireless tag (IC card) from the authentication system, transitioning to a pure face authentication system. This eliminates the need for users to carry physical cards while maintaining authentication accuracy through facial recognition alone, thereby resolving the contradiction between authentication precision and personal information security.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses face image data as a digital copy of personal identification, replacing the physical IC card. The face authentication server stores and processes facial feature data as a substitute for card-based identification, enabling contactless authentication while improving security by eliminating physical card handling risks.
2Loss of time
If face authentication processing time is reduced, then user convenience is improved, but the authentication result cannot be properly notified to the user
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism through the notification unit that provides real-time status updates to users during authentication processing. The system sends progress notifications (e.g., 'face captured', 'processing', 'result ready') to keep users informed without significantly extending the overall authentication time, thus resolving the contradiction between speed and information communication.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary face capture and processing while simultaneously preparing notification messages. The notification unit is ready to display results immediately upon completion, overlapping the notification preparation with the authentication processing to minimize perceived wait time while ensuring proper user notification.

AI summary
A face authentication machine includes a face image acquirer (camera) that acquires a live image of a predetermined capturing area in a facility including a face image of a user; a display unit (display) that displays a progress of face authentication of the face image included in the live image acquired by the face image acquirer; and a processor (controller) that controls the face image acquirer and the display unit, in which the processor sequentially displays two or more notification screens indicating the progress on the display unit, when the user is detected from the live image.
