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 result to be associated with the individual.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If traditional authentication systems are used, then authentication can be performed, but the authentication result cannot be alarmed in association with the authentication object person

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication result associationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A projection device is introduced as an intermediary component between the authentication device and the monitoring area. The projection device projects authentication results (such as green or red lights) onto the monitoring area to visually indicate authentication status, enabling association between authentication results and individuals without significantly increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses color changes through projection (green light for authentication success, red light for failure) to convey authentication results visually. This allows security personnel to quickly identify authentication status by observing color changes in the monitoring area, effectively linking authentication results with individuals

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

2Productivity

If manual monitoring is used, then authentication results can be reviewed, but the monitoring burden on security personnel is high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemonitoring efficiencyVSAvoidmonitoring burden
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service monitoring by automatically projecting authentication results onto the monitoring area. Security personnel no longer need to manually review each authentication case in detail; the projected visual indicators (green/red lights) provide immediate, intuitive feedback that allows personnel to quickly assess situations without intensive manual monitoring

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The use of color-changing projections (green for success, red for failure) creates an intuitive visual language that security personnel can understand at a glance. This eliminates the need for detailed review of authentication logs, significantly reducing the monitoring burden while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

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.
