Multi-Point Face Authentication for Composite Visit Records
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing techniques for promoting visits to various points, such as in a stamp rally, are insufficient in utilizing the recorded visits effectively for user engagement and information provision.
Innovation Solution
A visit promotion apparatus and method that captures user images, performs face authentication, generates composite images of visited points, and transmits them to display terminals when certain conditions are met, allowing users to view their visit history and engage with point-specific information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If face authentication is performed at multiple points to verify actual visits, then the reliability of visit verification is improved, but the complexity of the authentication system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication apparatus serves multiple functions: it performs face authentication, verifies visit conditions, determines eligibility for composite image generation, and manages user visit history. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized devices at each point while maintaining reliable verification across multiple locations.
Solution Approach 2:
The visit promotion apparatus acts as an intermediary that coordinates between multiple authentication points and the user. It collects authentication results from various points, manages the visit conditions, and determines when composite images should be generated, simplifying the overall system architecture while maintaining verification reliability.
2Ease of operation
If composite images are generated to provide visit history information, then user engagement is improved, but the processing time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system preliminarily determines whether visit conditions are satisfied before initiating composite image generation. By pre-checking authentication results and visit conditions, the system avoids unnecessary image processing and can provide timely feedback to users about their progress toward image generation eligibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The composite image generation is dynamic and conditional, triggered only when visit conditions are met. The system adapts its processing based on real-time authentication results, generating images only when necessary rather than continuously processing, thus reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining high user engagement.
3Quantity of substance
If visit information is recorded and provided to users, then the quantity of information provided to users increases, but the difficulty of managing and processing this information increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple pieces of visit information (authentication results, visit locations, timestamps) into a unified composite image that visually represents the user's visit history. This consolidation reduces the complexity of managing individual data records while providing users with comprehensive information in an easily digestible format.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a visual copy or representation of the user's visit history in the form of a composite image. Instead of managing and displaying raw data records, the system generates a visual replica that encapsulates all relevant visit information, simplifying both the processing and presentation of information to users.

AI summary
Provided are visit promotion apparatuses for providing users who have actually visited various points with information in which visits to the respective points are recorded. A visit promotion apparatus (100) includes: an acquisition unit (130) configured to acquire captured images in which a user is photographed; an authentication control unit (140) configured to extract the user's face area or facial feature information from the captured images and cause an authentication apparatus (200) to perform face authentication; an image generation unit (170) configured to, when a prescribed image generation condition based on the face authentication at a plurality of points is satisfied, generate a composite image including the captured images at the respective points of the user who has succeeded in the face authentication; and an output unit (180) configured to transmit the composite image generated by the image generation unit (170) to a prescribed display terminal.
