Server Authentication System for Group Entry Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
When a group purchases tickets to enter a facility, the burden on the ticket purchaser to register biometric information for each user is significant, leading to inefficiencies in the authentication process.
Innovation Solution
A system where a server apparatus stores ticket information and authentication details for a representative, allowing them to authenticate and grant entry to accompanying persons without requiring individual authentication, by transmitting authentication requests and ticket information between a server and authentication terminal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If biometric authentication is performed for each user in a group, then authentication security is improved, but the burden on the ticket purchaser and processing time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The authentication system is segmented into two distinct modes: representative authentication (where one person authenticates for the entire group) and individual authentication (where each person authenticates separately). This segmentation allows users to choose the appropriate mode based on their needs, reducing the burden when purchasing tickets for groups while maintaining security options.
Solution Approach 2:
The server acts as an intermediary that stores and manages group authentication information. When a representative purchases tickets for multiple people, the server stores the representative's authentication information linked to the group members' information. During entry, the representative's authentication alone can verify the entire group's right to enter, eliminating the need for each member to register their own biometric data.
2Measurement precision
If biometric authentication is performed for each user in a group, then authentication accuracy is improved, but processing speed decreases due to multiple authentication operations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary authentication setup during ticket purchase, where the representative's authentication information is stored and linked to the group members' information in advance. This preliminary action eliminates the need for repeated authentication operations at entry, significantly improving processing speed while maintaining authentication accuracy through the pre-verified representative's credentials.
3Reliability
If individual biometric registration is required for each user, then authentication reliability is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The server apparatus is designed with universal functionality to handle both individual ticket purchases and group ticket purchases. It can store and manage authentication information in multiple formats: individual user data and group representative data. This multi-functionality allows the same system to serve different authentication needs without requiring separate systems, thereby reducing overall complexity while maintaining reliability.

AI summary
A system includes a server apparatus and a first authentication terminal. The server apparatus stores ticket information including contents of a ticket purchased by a representative, the ticket permitting the representative and at least one or more accompanying persons to enter a first restricted admission area, and authentication information of the representative. When the representative and at least one or more accompanying persons enter the first restricted admission area, the first authentication terminal transmits a first authentication request that includes authentication information of the representative to the server apparatus. The server apparatus identifies the representative who attempts to enter the first restricted area by an authentication processing using the authentication information included in the authentication request and the stored authentication information. The server apparatus transmits the ticket information corresponding to the identified representative to the first authentication terminal. The first authentication terminal performs control in accordance with the ticket information.
