INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18391918 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The information processing apparatus described in the abstract is designed to streamline the boarding process for passengers at an airport by using biometric information obtained from a captured image of the passenger.
- Acquisition unit acquires biometric information from a captured image of a passenger boarding an airplane.
- Specifying unit uses the acquired biometric information to specify boarding reservation information.
- Output unit provides information to support the passenger's boarding procedure based on the specified reservation information.
---
- Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in airports to improve the efficiency and security of the boarding process for passengers.
- Problems Solved
This technology helps to accurately identify passengers and provide them with the necessary information for a smooth boarding experience.
- Benefits
- Enhanced security through biometric identification - Streamlined boarding process for passengers - Personalized support for passengers based on their reservation information
- Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhancing Airport Boarding Process with Biometric Technology"
- Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of biometric technology in airport security and boarding processes to verify the identity of passengers and enhance overall security measures.

- Unanswered Questions
- How does the system ensure the accuracy of the biometric information obtained from the captured image?
The system likely uses advanced algorithms and technology to analyze and verify the biometric data to ensure accuracy.
- What measures are in place to protect the privacy and security of the biometric information collected from passengers?
There are likely strict protocols and encryption methods in place to safeguard the biometric data and prevent unauthorized access or misuse.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus in the present invention includes: an acquisition unit that acquires, from a captured image obtained by capturing a passenger who is boarding on an airplane and has not yet passed through a boarding gate corresponding to the airplane, biometric information of the passenger; a specifying unit that specifies boarding reservation information regarding the boarding by using the acquired biometric information; and an output unit that outputs information used for supporting a procedure of the passenger at the boarding gate based on the specified boarding reservation information.
