AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18272749 titled 'AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The disclosure provides an authentication system including: an acquisition unit that acquires a processing target image including a face of a user; a per-part evaluation unit that evaluates a change for each part of a face, based on a registration image being preregistered and the processing target image; a verification unit that performs face verification processing, based on the registration image and the processing target image; and a notification unit that notifies a notification target person of an evaluation result of a change for each part of a face when a verification score of the face verification processing satisfies a predetermined condition.

  • Acquisition unit acquires a processing target image with the user's face.
  • Per-part evaluation unit assesses changes in each part of the face using a preregistered registration image.
  • Verification unit conducts face verification based on the registration image and processing target image.
  • Notification unit informs a designated person of evaluation results when verification score meets set criteria.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as:

  • Security systems
  • Access control systems
  • Identity verification processes

Problems Solved

This innovation addresses issues related to:

  • Unauthorized access
  • Identity theft
  • Fraudulent activities

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include:

  • Enhanced security
  • Improved authentication processes
  • Prevention of unauthorized access

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications for this technology include:

  • Biometric security systems for businesses
  • Identity verification services for financial institutions

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be facial recognition systems used in security applications.

Unanswered Questions

How does this technology handle changes in facial appearance over time?

The system may need to be calibrated periodically to account for natural changes in a user's face.

What measures are in place to prevent spoofing or manipulation of the system?

Additional security features such as liveness detection could be implemented to prevent spoofing attacks.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure provides an authentication system () including: an acquisition unit () that acquires a processing target image including a face of a user; a per-part evaluation unit () that evaluates a change for each part of a face, based on a registration image being preregistered and the processing target image; a verification unit () that performs face verification processing, based on the registration image and the processing target image; and a notification unit () that notifies a notification target person of an evaluation result of a change for each part of a face when a verification score of the face verification processing satisfies a predetermined condition.
