Station Authentication Scheme Information Processing System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users cannot confirm which authentication schemes are available at specific railway stations, making it difficult to determine if face recognition, IC card, or two-dimensional code authentication can be used at boarding or alighting stations.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system that includes a user database associating station information with available entrance and exit authentication schemes, an information extraction unit that retrieves this information based on input station data, and an output unit that displays the available authentication schemes to the user.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple authentication schemes are introduced at different stations, then the versatility of the ticket examination system is improved, but the loss of information about available authentication schemes increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an information processing system as an intermediary between the ticket examination system and users. This system includes a database that stores authentication scheme information for each station, an information extraction unit that retrieves relevant information, and an output unit that presents it to users. The intermediary resolves the information loss by systematically collecting, storing, and distributing authentication scheme availability data across the railway network.
2Device complexity
If authentication scheme information is not provided to users, then the system complexity is reduced, but the ease of operation for users deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables users to self-serve by providing them with authentication scheme information through the information processing system. Users can independently check which authentication schemes are available at their boarding and alighting stations without needing to contact customer service or consult complex system documentation. This self-service approach improves ease of operation while maintaining relatively simple system architecture.

AI summary
An information processing system includes a user database that stores information obtained by associating first information that specifies a station with second information that indicates an entrance and exit authentication scheme available in a ticket examination system of the station; an information extraction unit that extracts, from the user database, the second information associated with input first information; and an output unit that outputs the second information extracted by the information extraction unit.
