==SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION SERVER, MANAGEMENT SERVER, AUTHENTICATION TERMINAL AND METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18275131 titled 'SYSTEM, AUTHENTICATION SERVER, MANAGEMENT SERVER, AUTHENTICATION TERMINAL AND METHOD

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a system where an authentication server stores biometric information and user IDs, a management server stores user IDs and electronic coupon information, and an authentication terminal transmits authentication requests for users using electronic coupons.

* Biometric information and user IDs are stored in the authentication server.
* User IDs and electronic coupon information are stored in the management server.
* The authentication terminal transmits authentication requests with biometric information for users using electronic coupons.
* The authentication server identifies the user ID corresponding to the user using the electronic coupon through biometric authentication.
* The management server then transmits the owned coupon information related to the electronic coupon to the authentication terminal.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology can be applied in various industries such as retail, banking, and healthcare for secure authentication and coupon management systems.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of unauthorized coupon use and provides a secure way to authenticate users using biometric information.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include enhanced security, efficient coupon management, and a seamless user experience.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
Optimizing Coupon Management and User Authentication System for Enhanced Security and Efficiency

== Unanswered Questions ==
=== How does the system handle multiple users with similar biometric information? ===
=== What measures are in place to protect the biometric and coupon information from cyber threats? ===


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Authentication server stores biometric information and a user ID of each of a plurality of users in association with each other. Management server stores the user ID of each of the plurality of users and information of electronic coupons owned by each user in association with each other. Authentication terminal transmits authentication request including biometric information of first user who uses the electronic coupon among the plurality of users to the authentication server. The authentication server identifies first user ID corresponding to the first user by a biometric authentication using the biometric information included in the authentication request, and transmits coupon information transmission instruction including the identified first user ID to the management server. The management server transmits owned coupon information related to the electronic coupon owned by the first user corresponding to the first user ID included in the coupon information transmission instruction to the authentication terminal.
