Simultaneous Face and Document Capture for Identity Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Identity verification during account opening processes is labor-intensive due to the need for manual input of user information, despite existing techniques for image-based verification.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that captures a user's face and identity verification document simultaneously in a moving image, provides an action instruction, and verifies the document's ownership by ensuring the user performs the instructed action, thereby reducing the need for manual input.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If manual input of user information is used for identity verification, then verification accuracy can be maintained, but labor requirements and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual input operations with automated image capture and recognition systems. The camera captures images of the user's face and identification document, and the system automatically extracts and verifies information through image processing, eliminating the need for manual typing while maintaining verification accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses optical copies (images) of the user's face and identification document to replace physical interaction with documents. By capturing and processing images, the system creates digital replicas that can be analyzed automatically, reducing labor while preserving verification capabilities.
2Productivity
If automated image-based verification is implemented, then processing speed increases, but verification reliability may decrease due to spoofing risks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by capturing multiple images and extracting feature data before the actual verification decision. The system pre-processes the images to extract facial features and document information, preparing the data for comparison and analysis, which speeds up the overall process while maintaining reliability through thorough pre-examination.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms by comparing the captured facial features with stored reference data and providing verification results. The system uses feedback from the image analysis to determine whether verification succeeds or fails, allowing for automated decision-making that maintains reliability while improving processing speed.
3Measurement precision
If simultaneous capture of face and document is required, then identity verification accuracy improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the capture of the user's face and the identification document into a single imaging operation. By using one camera to capture both elements simultaneously in the same field of view, the system eliminates the need for separate capture devices or multiple imaging steps, thereby improving verification accuracy without proportionally increasing system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent makes the imaging system multi-functional by using a single camera to perform both face capture and document capture. This universal device serves multiple purposes: capturing facial features for biometric verification and capturing document images for OCR and validation, thereby reducing the number of components needed while maintaining high verification accuracy.

AI summary
The accuracy of identity authentication is further improved. There is provided an information processing apparatus including a first determiner that determines whether a face of a user and an identity verification document are captured in a moving image at a same time, a second determiner that makes, when the first determiner determines that the face and the identity verification document are captured at the same time, a notification of an action instruction, and determines whether the user acts in accordance with the action instruction, and a verifier that verifies, when the second determiner determines that the user acts in accordance with the action instruction, that the identity verification document belongs to the user.
