FACE AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18750354 titled 'FACE AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a face authentication apparatus that uses face images to authenticate users moving between different areas.
- The apparatus acquires a face image of a user moving through a gate between two areas.
- It performs face authentication based on the acquired face image.
- A flow rate measurement unit measures the flow rates of users moving through the gate in both directions.
- A security level determination unit uses the flow rates to determine the security levels of the two areas.
Key Features and Innovation
- Face image acquisition for authentication of users moving between areas.
- Flow rate measurement to assess user movement patterns.
- Security level determination based on flow rates for enhanced security.
Potential Applications
The technology can be used in secure access control systems for various facilities such as offices, airports, and other restricted areas.
Problems Solved
- Enhanced security for areas with high user traffic.
- Efficient authentication of users moving between different zones.
Benefits
- Improved security measures.
- Streamlined user authentication process.
- Enhanced access control for sensitive areas.
Commercial Applications
Title: Secure Access Control System with Face Authentication This technology can be applied in commercial buildings, airports, government facilities, and other high-security locations to ensure secure access control and efficient user authentication processes.
Questions about Face Authentication
How does the flow rate measurement contribute to determining security levels?
The flow rate measurement helps in analyzing user movement patterns and identifying any anomalies that could indicate potential security threats.
What are the potential challenges in implementing face authentication in high-traffic areas?
Implementing face authentication in high-traffic areas may face challenges such as processing a large number of face images quickly and accurately, as well as ensuring seamless user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
A face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit that acquires, as a first face image, a face image of a user who moves from a first area to a second area via a gate provided between the first area and the second area, a collation unit that performs face authentication, a flow rate measurement unit that measures a flow rate of users who move from the first area to the second area via the gate and a flow rate of users who move from the second area to the first area via the gate, and a security level determination unit that determines the security level of the first area and the security level of the second area on the basis of the flow rates measured.
