Solution Overview

Problem

Personal identification systems require significant data processing for feature extraction, necessitating a reduction in the amount of data used for identification.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that acquires first load information from a sole-mounted load measurement device and second load information from a device between the toe and the sole, extracting feature amounts for user identification using these measurements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If personal identification is performed using load distribution data from multiple sensors, then identification accuracy is improved, but the amount of data to be processed increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification accuracyVSAvoidamount of data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the load measurement data into two distinct segments: first load information from a first load measurement device and second load information from a second load measurement device. This segmentation allows the system to process divided data sets rather than a single large data set, reducing overall data processing complexity while maintaining identification accuracy through the combined use of both segments

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the essential load information needed for personal identification from the sensor data. By taking out and processing only the relevant first and second load information rather than all available sensor data, the system reduces the amount of data to be processed while still achieving accurate personal identification through feature extraction from this condensed data set

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
