Solution Overview

Problem

Existing authentication systems do not provide for alarming the authentication result in association with the authentication object person.

Innovation Solution

An authentication control device and system that includes image acquisition, face authentication, projection area specification, and projection control to project the authentication result on a specified area, allowing for the authentication result to be associated with the individual.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If face authentication is performed on authentication object persons walking in the monitoring area, then authentication can be conducted without stopping persons, but the authentication result cannot be directly associated with the authentication object person

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication operationVSAvoidauthentication result association
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a projection device as an intermediary to connect the authentication result with the authentication object person. The projection device projects authentication results (pass/fail indicators) onto the monitoring area at locations corresponding to where authentication object persons are detected, thereby visually associating the authentication result with the person without requiring direct interaction or stopping the person.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If authentication results are not projected in association with authentication object persons, then the system remains simple, but security personnel have high monitoring burden

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidmonitoring efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements self-service by having the system automatically project authentication results onto the monitoring area without requiring manual intervention from security personnel. The authentication control device automatically processes authentication results and directs the projection device to display appropriate indicators (pass/fail) at locations corresponding to authentication object persons, thereby reducing monitoring burden and improving productivity without significantly increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

An authentication control device according to the present disclosure is provided with an image acquisition means for acquiring an image including an authentication object person walking in the monitoring area photographed by a camera for photographing the monitoring area, an authentication control means for causing an authentication device for performing face authentication to perform face authentication of the authentication object person included in the image acquired by the image acquisition means, a projection area specification means for specifying a projection area in which the result of the face authentication is projected, and a projection control means for causing the projection device to project the result of the face authentication on the projection area specified by the projection area specification means.
