FACE AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240212408 titled 'FACE AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS

The abstract describes a face authentication apparatus that includes various units to acquire a face image, perform authentication, measure time, and restrict threshold changes based on elapsed time.

  • Face image acquisition unit acquires face image of authentication target
  • Collation unit performs face authentication based on a threshold
  • Time measurement unit measures elapsed time from start of operation
  • Threshold change unit restricts threshold changes based on elapsed time

Potential Applications: - Secure access control systems - Identity verification for financial transactions - Biometric security for mobile devices

Problems Solved: - Enhances security by using facial recognition technology - Prevents unauthorized access by restricting threshold changes

Benefits: - Improved accuracy in face authentication - Enhanced security measures for sensitive data - Efficient and reliable identity verification process

Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Face Authentication Technology for Secure Access Control Systems" This technology can be used in various industries such as banking, healthcare, and government agencies to enhance security measures and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Questions about Face Authentication Technology: 1. How does this technology improve security measures compared to traditional authentication methods?

  - This technology offers a more secure and reliable authentication process by using facial recognition technology, which is difficult to replicate or forge.

2. What are the potential limitations or challenges faced when implementing face authentication technology in real-world scenarios?

  - Some challenges may include privacy concerns, accuracy issues in varying lighting conditions, and potential biases in the recognition algorithms.


Original Abstract Submitted

a face authentication apparatus includes a face image acquisition unit, a collation unit, a time measurement unit, and a threshold change unit. the face image acquisition unit acquires a face image of an authentication target. the collation unit performs face authentication on the face image of the authentication target on the basis of a threshold. the time measurement unit measures the elapsed time from the time of starting operation of the face authentication apparatus. the threshold change unit restricts changing of the threshold to a value larger than a value determined depending on the measured elapsed time.
