Cross-Store Facial Authentication Bonus Application at Checkout
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing technologies do not effectively share and utilize the history of facial authentication across multiple stores, limiting the potential applications and benefits of facial authentication data.
Innovation Solution
An information processing device and system that performs first and second facial authentications at different stores, applies bonuses based on the history of facial authentication, and presents recommendation information to users.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If facial authentication history is shared across multiple stores, then user experience and store interaction benefits are enhanced, but system complexity and data management requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a server as an intermediary component that centralizes the storage and management of facial authentication history. The server receives authentication results from various store terminals and makes this history available to multiple stores, enabling cross-store bonus application without requiring direct peer-to-peer communication between stores. This intermediary approach manages the complexity of data sharing while enabling versatile history utilization across the network.
2Productivity
If bonus application based on facial authentication history is implemented, then user engagement and store loyalty increase, but processing requirements and computational load increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by storing facial authentication history and associated user information in advance on the server. When a user presents their face at a store, the terminal device can quickly query the pre-stored history and determine applicable bonuses without performing complex computations in real-time. This preliminary data preparation reduces the computational load during the actual transaction process while maintaining high user engagement through rapid bonus application.
3Adaptability or versatility
If facial authentication data is stored and utilized across stores, then personalized recommendations and bonuses are enabled, but data security and privacy protection challenges increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and stores only the necessary authentication results and associated user information (such as user IDs) in the facial authentication history, rather than storing complete facial images or sensitive personal data. The system queries and processes this extracted minimal dataset to provide personalized recommendations and bonuses. This extraction approach enables personalized services while minimizing security risks by reducing the amount of sensitive data that needs to be protected.
Data Source
AI summary
An information processing device includes a first authentication controlling unit that causes an authentication device to execute first facial authentication or facial registration of a first photographed image capturing a user at a first store, a presenting unit that presents recommendation information related to a second store to the user in response to a success of the first facial authentication or in response to the facial registration, a second authentication controlling unit that causes the authentication device to execute second facial authentication of a second photographed image capturing the user at the second store, and a bonus applying unit that causes a bonus to be applied to a settlement process of the user at the second store based on a history of the first facial authentication or the facial registration, if the user has been authenticated successfully in the second facial authentication.
