In-Vehicle Face Recognition Payment System
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing in-vehicle payment systems require users to carry mobile phones and wallets, making it inconvenient to pay during travel, and lack efficient identity verification and automatic fare deduction methods.
Innovation Solution
A method and system utilizing face recognition technology to identify users and automatically deduct fares within vehicles, employing image collection devices and servers to process face images and geographic locations for secure, password-free payments.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If users carry mobile phones and wallets for payment, then payment functionality is available, but convenience is reduced and device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the payment functionality from traditional mobile phone and wallet devices, implementing it directly within the vehicle's existing infrastructure. The vehicle's terminal device performs face recognition and payment processing, eliminating the need for users to carry separate payment devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The vehicle system provides self-service payment capability by automatically capturing face images, performing recognition, and completing transactions without requiring user intervention with external devices. The system serves itself by using its own terminal device for all payment operations.
2Reliability
If traditional payment methods are used, then payment can be processed, but identity verification security is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces mechanical verification methods (physical wallets, cards, or manual phone operations) with biometric face recognition technology. This substitution provides more reliable identity verification by using unique physiological characteristics rather than physical objects that can be lost or stolen.
3Productivity
If manual payment operations are required, then payment processing can occur, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the terminal device with payment capabilities and storing user face images for recognition. When payment is needed, the system immediately captures and processes the face image without requiring users to prepare anything, thus reducing payment time.
Solution Approach 2:
The automated face recognition and payment processing system eliminates manual operations entirely. The vehicle's terminal device autonomously completes the entire payment workflow from image capture to transaction completion, significantly improving processing speed and reducing time loss.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides a method and device for in-vehicle payment. The method includes the following: obtaining a face image of an in-vehicle user and a geographic location of the in-vehicle user at an endpoint of a ride route; obtaining an image set associated with the geographic location from an image database based on the geographic location, where the image set includes face images of a plurality of users; comparing the face image of the in-vehicle user with each face image in the image set to recognize the in-vehicle user's identity and obtain a fare deduction account corresponding to the in-vehicle user; and deducting a fare of a present ride from the fare deduction account. The present disclosure makes it easier to pay during traveling by vehicle. The fare can be deducted even if the user does not bring a mobile phone and a wallet.
