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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18239635 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The present invention is an information processing apparatus that acquires biometrics information from images and matches it against a registered biometrics information group.

  • The apparatus acquires biometrics information on a first person from a first image captured in a first area.
  • The biometrics information is compared against a registered biometrics information group that includes information on multiple individuals.
  • The apparatus matches biometrics information on a second person from a second image captured in a different area against the acquired biometrics information.
  • The matching unit compares the biometrics information of the second person with the biometrics information included in the first biometrics information group.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various fields, including:

  • Security systems: It can be used to identify individuals in restricted areas or to grant access to secure locations.
  • Law enforcement: It can aid in identifying suspects or matching individuals to crime scene evidence.
  • Border control: It can be used to verify the identity of travelers at immigration checkpoints.
  • Attendance tracking: It can be used to automate attendance management systems in schools or workplaces.

Problems Solved

This technology addresses the following problems:

  • Identification accuracy: By matching biometrics information against a registered group, it improves the accuracy of identifying individuals.
  • Efficiency: It automates the process of matching biometrics information, saving time and effort compared to manual identification methods.
  • Security: By using biometrics information, it provides a more secure method of identification compared to traditional methods like passwords or ID cards.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced security: Biometrics information provides a more reliable and secure method of identification.
  • Improved efficiency: Automated matching of biometrics information saves time and resources.
  • Accurate identification: Matching biometrics information against a registered group improves the accuracy of identifying individuals.


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.
