User Recognition System with Consent-Based Information Provision
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing signage terminal systems provide information to users based on their attributes or registered information without user consent, leading to unwanted data exposure.
Innovation Solution
An information processing system with a recognition unit, provision unit, and control unit that recognizes users and provides personalized information only upon user approval, using authentication codes and passcodes to ensure privacy and consent.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the signage terminal provides information based on user attributes or registered information, then the service is customized to individual users, but the user's privacy is compromised as information is provided without user consent
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an authentication code as an intermediary between the system and the user. The authentication code (displayed on the terminal) and passcode (input by user) act as a mediator that verifies user consent before information provision. This intermediary mechanism enables the system to customize services while respecting user privacy, as the actual information is only provided after the user actively approves through the passcode verification process.
2Ease of operation
If the signage terminal displays information to all passersby, then the system operation is simple, but the information is provided in a one-sided manner without considering user desire
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the information provision process dynamic by introducing user interaction. Instead of statically displaying information to all passersby, the system now dynamically adjusts information provision based on user recognition, authentication code display, and passcode input. This dynamic approach ensures that information is provided only when relevant to the user, eliminating the one-sided information provision while maintaining operational simplicity through automated workflows.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If the system implements user recognition and consent-based information provision, then user privacy is protected, but the device complexity increases due to additional authentication mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the information provision process into distinct functional modules: user recognition unit, authentication code display unit, passcode input unit, and information provision unit. This segmentation allows each component to perform its specific function independently, making the overall complex authentication mechanism more manageable and maintainable. The segmentation also enables flexible implementation where different units can be optimized separately while working together to protect user privacy.
