Solution Overview

Problem

Existing authentication systems do not provide for alarming the authentication result in association with the authentication object person.

Innovation Solution

An authentication control device and system that includes image acquisition, face authentication, projection area specification, and projection control to project the authentication result on a specified area, allowing for the authentication result to be associated with the individual.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If face authentication is performed on authentication object persons walking in the monitoring area, then authentication accuracy is improved, but the monitoring burden on security guards increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveauthentication accuracyVSAvoidmonitoring burden
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service authentication where authentication object persons undergo face authentication automatically as they walk through the monitoring area. The authentication device performs authentication without requiring manual intervention or alerting security guards, allowing persons to authenticate themselves while moving through the monitored zone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical monitoring by security guards with an automated electronic authentication system. The authentication device uses face recognition technology to automatically verify identities, substituting the manual inspection process with automated optical recognition and digital verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If authentication results are projected in association with authentication object persons, then ease of monitoring is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of monitoringVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a projection device as an intermediary between the authentication system and security guards. This intermediary projects authentication results onto the monitoring area, serving as a visual mediator that conveys authentication information without requiring direct electronic interfaces or complex display systems at specific locations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system transitions authentication information from a digital/abstract dimension to a physical/visual dimension by projecting results onto the monitoring area. This dimensional transformation allows security guards to perceive authentication status through visual projection rather than electronic displays or manual reports, simplifying their monitoring task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)
