- Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include integration into smartphones, biometric security systems, and secure access control systems.
- Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art for this technology could be facial recognition systems used in smartphones and security systems.
- Unanswered Questions
- How does the system handle different lighting conditions for facial recognition?
The patent application does not specify how the system adjusts for varying lighting conditions during image acquisition.
- What is the accuracy rate of the authentication process using this technology?
The abstract does not provide information on the accuracy rate of the authentication process using this image acquisition apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
An image acquisition apparatus includes an output control unit and an image acquisition unit. The output control unit causes an output unit to output a content. The image acquisition unit acquires an image generated by an image capture unit, the image includes a person and is an image for authentication. The image capture unit is located in a position where a face of the person can be captured when the person faces to the output unit. Further, the output control unit continues to cause the output unit to output the content until a first condition being set in order to make the authentication succeed is satisfied.
