Face Authentication With Cumulative Smile Ranking in Facilities
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing face authentication systems in amusement facilities only determine smile degree at the final location, limiting their ability to enhance user experience and engagement, and there is a need to address this by enhancing user engagement and interaction.
Innovation Solution
A system that calculates a cumulative smile degree by accumulating smile degrees from multiple locations within a facility and compares it with other users, enhancing user engagement and interaction.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If face authentication is performed only at the final location in the amusement facility, then the system complexity is reduced, but the user engagement and attractiveness of the facility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The amusement facility is divided into multiple locations with authentication terminals distributed throughout. Face authentication and smile degree calculation are performed at each location segment independently, then results are accumulated to form a comprehensive evaluation. This segmentation allows enhanced user engagement without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transitions from single-point authentication to multi-dimensional tracking by accumulating smile degrees across multiple locations and time points. This adds temporal and spatial dimensions to the authentication process, creating a cumulative smile degree that reflects overall user experience rather than a single moment.
2Adaptability or versatility
If smile degree is calculated at multiple locations and accumulated, then user engagement and facility attractiveness are improved, but the data processing complexity and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary calculation of smile degrees at each authentication terminal location as face authentication occurs. These preliminary results are then accumulated by the management server to generate the cumulative smile degree ranking, distributing computational workload and avoiding centralized processing bottlenecks.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides continuous feedback to users through cumulative smile degree rankings displayed at authentication terminals. This feedback mechanism engages users by showing their relative performance in real-time, encouraging them to maintain or improve their smile degree throughout their facility experience.
3Adaptability or versatility
If cumulative smile degree ranking is implemented across multiple users, then user interaction and competition are enhanced, but the privacy concerns and data security requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses face information solely for authentication purposes to identify users and does not store or process actual facial images. Only authenticated users receive cumulative smile degree rankings, creating a copy-based identification system that protects privacy while enabling user interaction and competition.
