Image Recognition System for Private Picture Security
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
There is a challenge in preventing pictures from being misdirected or viewed in non-private environments during data transmission, as existing technologies do not effectively ensure that sensitive images are only viewed by authorized recipients in appropriate settings.
Innovation Solution
A system installed on both sending and receiving terminals, utilizing communication units, image recognition systems, and display modules to determine if a picture is private and if the receiving environment is suitable for viewing, prompting users to resend or view the image accordingly, and employing image recognition to verify identities and permissions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If pictures are sent freely without verification, then communication efficiency is improved, but security and privacy protection deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary verification by detecting face information in pictures before transmission, identifying the recipient device, and confirming authorization status in advance. This preliminary action prevents unauthorized sending while maintaining efficient communication for authorized users.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback to users about the authorization status of picture sending. When a picture contains unrecognized or unauthorized face information, the system notifies the user and prevents transmission, creating a feedback loop that ensures security without blocking legitimate communication.
2Reliability
If face recognition and authorization verification are performed, then picture security is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs face detection, recognition, and authorization verification without requiring manual user intervention. The terminal device self-services the security check by comparing face information against stored data and automatically determining whether transmission is authorized, reducing the perceived complexity for users.
Solution Approach 2:
The face recognition system serves multiple functions: it identifies recipients, verifies authorization, and prevents unauthorized transmission. This multi-functionality consolidates what could be separate complex systems into a single integrated security mechanism.
3Reliability
If face information detection is performed on all pictures, then unauthorized viewing prevention is improved, but processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies face information detection selectively rather than universally. It focuses on detecting face information in pictures that require security verification, performing partial action on the picture set to prevent unauthorized viewing while minimizing unnecessary processing time for images that don't require such scrutiny.

AI summary
A method for preventing misdirection of pictures and non-authorized viewing which can be applied on a sending terminal communicating with receiving terminals is provided. The method comprises determining a target picture and user identity information of one or more receiving terminals as recipients. The target picture is identified through an image recognition system as being private or non-private and a determination is made as to whether the one or more receiving terminals can receive the target picture. The target picture is sent to the one or more receiving terminals when determining that all the users of the one or more receiving terminals can receive the target picture.
