Information Processing Apparatus for Object Ownership Identification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current systems fail to effectively identify the owner of an object when the owner is unidentified, limiting the ability to associate ownership information with objects in a digital database.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that receives image data of persons and objects, registers the person as an owner of the object, and uses this data to identify the owner of an object by matching image data with registered contents in a property database, employing image recognition AI to analyze and associate ownership information.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If image recognition AI is used to identify object owners from image data, then ownership identification accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information processing apparatus as an intermediary between image data and the property database. This apparatus contains an identification unit that mediates the matching process between image data representing objects and registered contents in the property database, thereby improving ownership identification accuracy while managing system complexity through a dedicated intermediary component.
Solution Approach 2:
The system segments the ownership identification process into distinct functional units: an image acquisition unit that receives image data, an identification unit that performs matching, and a property database that stores registered contents. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall identification accuracy while making the complex system more manageable through modular design.
2Reliability
If a property database storing registered contents is used to match image data, then ownership verification reliability is improved, but information processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-registering object contents and owner information in the property database before actual ownership verification is needed. This advance preparation stores structured registered contents that can be quickly matched against image data during verification, improving reliability through comprehensive pre-registration while reducing processing time during actual identification operations.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive first image data representing persons and objects excluding the persons; register a person represented by the first image data as an owner of an object represented by the first image data; receive second image data that represents an object serving as an identification target and owned by an owner that is not identified; and in accordance with the second image data and contents that are registered, identity the owner of the object serving as the identification target.
