FACE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION METHOD OF FACE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240104944 titled 'FACE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION METHOD OF FACE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a driver face authentication system in a movable apparatus that uses two imaging units to capture the driver's face from different angles and determine if the driver is legitimate based on the captured images.

  • The system includes a first imaging unit and a second imaging unit to capture the driver's face from different angles.
  • A boarding detection unit is used to detect when the driver is aboard the movable apparatus.
  • The face authentication unit analyzes the images captured by the imaging units to determine if the driver is legitimate.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries such as automotive, transportation, and security for driver identification and authentication purposes.

Problems Solved

This technology helps prevent unauthorized individuals from operating the movable apparatus, enhancing security and safety measures.

Benefits

The system provides an additional layer of security by verifying the identity of the driver before allowing them to operate the movable apparatus.

Potential Commercial Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

a driver face authentication system provided in a movable apparatus includes a first imaging unit that captures a face of a driver at a first angle, a second imaging unit that captures the driver's face at a second angle different from the first angle, a boarding detection unit that detects that the driver is aboard the movable apparatus, and a face authentication unit that, after the boarding detection unit detects that the driver is aboard the movable apparatus, based on a video captured by the first imaging unit and a video captured by the second imaging unit, determines whether the driver captured by the first and second imaging units is a legitimate driver of the movable apparatus.
