INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18239562 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an information processing apparatus that can match biometrics information of a second person against a registered biometrics information group.

  • The apparatus acquires a first biometrics information group, which includes biometrics information on a first person detected from a first image captured in a first area.
  • The first biometrics information group is obtained from a registered biometrics information group that includes biometrics information on multiple registrants.
  • The apparatus includes a matching unit that compares the biometrics information of a second person, detected from a second image captured in a different area, against the biometrics information included in the first biometrics information group.

Potential Applications

  • Identity verification systems: This technology can be used in various applications where identity verification is required, such as access control systems, border control, and secure authentication processes.
  • Surveillance systems: The apparatus can be utilized in surveillance systems to match the biometrics information of individuals captured in different areas, helping in tracking and identifying potential suspects or persons of interest.

Problems Solved

  • Efficient identification: The invention solves the problem of efficiently matching biometrics information of individuals captured in different areas against a registered biometrics information group, enabling quick and accurate identification.
  • Enhanced security: By utilizing biometrics information, the technology provides a more secure and reliable method for identity verification compared to traditional methods like passwords or ID cards.

Benefits

  • Improved accuracy: The matching unit ensures accurate identification by comparing the biometrics information of a second person against a registered biometrics information group.
  • Time-saving: The apparatus enables quick identification by acquiring and matching biometrics information in real-time, reducing the time required for identity verification processes.
  • Enhanced security: Biometrics information provides a higher level of security, as it is unique to each individual and difficult to forge or replicate.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing apparatus in the present invention includes: an acquisition unit that acquires a first biometrics information group including biometrics information on a first person detected from a first image captured in a first area from a registered biometrics information group including biometrics information on a plurality of registrants; and a matching unit that matches biometrics information on a second person detected from a second image captured in a second area that is different from the first area against biometrics information included in the first biometrics information group.
