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 the person, but the authentication result cannot be visually 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 the authentication result (pass/fail indicator) onto the monitoring area at the location where the authentication object person is detected, allowing security guards to visually associate the authentication outcome with the person without interrupting their movement.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Device complexity

If authentication result is not projected, then the system remains simple, but security guards must manually track and identify authentication results

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

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically projecting the authentication result onto the monitoring area without requiring manual intervention from security guards. The authentication control device automatically identifies the authentication object person's location and projects the corresponding result (pass/fail indicator) at that location, enabling autonomous information display and reducing manual monitoring workload.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
