Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing facial authentication systems do not effectively utilize information generated by user actions within a facility, such as entry and exit events, payment transactions, and conference attendance, limiting the utilization of face authentication data.

Innovation Solution

A facial authentication management server and method that accumulates and manages face authentication information by associating user face images with specific data, generating management screens to confirm or change information status, and utilizing this information for event-based activities, including conference room search and personal connection searches.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If face authentication is performed only for security management, then security protection is improved, but information utilization for various events is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvesecurity protectionVSAvoidinformation utilization

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The face authentication system is extended to serve multiple functions beyond security management. The server now handles not only security authentication but also event information management, user tracking, and various facility operations (conference room booking, payment processing, etc.), allowing the same authentication infrastructure to support diverse applications

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments authentication information into different categories: security-related face image data and event-related specific information. This segmentation allows the same authentication infrastructure to separately manage security functions and event utilization functions, resolving the contradiction between maintaining security protection and enabling versatile information use

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If face image data is stored securely in separate devices, then security is improved, but data management complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedata securityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges the management of face image data and event information into a single integrated server platform. While data is stored in separate secure locations, the management functions (registration, authentication, event tracking) are combined in one system, reducing operational complexity while maintaining security through centralized control and coordinated data handling

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Face management server includes user manager that manages a face image for registration for each user acquired by registration device registering the face image of the user and specific information other than the face image in association with each other, the specific information being used for specifying each user; device manager that manages information on a face authentication machine acquiring the face image for authentication of the user; and screen generator that generates a management screen for confirming or changing an information management status by user manager and device manager.
