Information Processing for Passenger Status and Boarding Deadlines
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing systems struggle to accurately determine the status of passengers in transit facilities, such as airports, beyond just their location, particularly regarding completion of procedures like security inspections and immigration.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus and method that includes an information management unit for registering boarding information and biometrics, a deadline setting unit, and a status management unit to track and update the status of passengers through a network of connected devices, including check-in terminals, baggage deposit machines, security inspection apparatuses, and automated gates, using biometrics and surveillance cameras.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If only location determination methods are used, then the system is simple, but the status recognition detail is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the passenger status monitoring into multiple independent components: location determination units, biometrics information acquisition units, procedure completion determination units, and status management units. Each component handles a specific aspect of status recognition, allowing the system to achieve detailed status monitoring while maintaining modularity and manageable complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The information processing apparatus integrates multiple functions into a single system: it determines passenger location, acquires biometrics information, determines procedure completion status, and manages overall passenger status. This multi-functional approach enables detailed status recognition without requiring separate independent systems for each function.
2Productivity
If comprehensive status monitoring is implemented, then operational efficiency improves, but information processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by acquiring biometrics information and determining procedure completion status in advance, before final status management is required. This allows the system to prepare status data proactively, reducing the information processing load during critical decision-making moments and improving operational efficiency.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: an information management unit that registers boarding information on a user regarding boarding acquired by a check-in procedure of the user; and a deadline setting unit that, based on the boarding information, sets a deadline for a procedure of the user up to the boarding.
