Application: Face authentication apparatus (Patent ID: US20240212408A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp describes a face authentication apparatus that acquires a face image of an authentication target, measures elapsed time from the start of operation, and performs face authentication based on a threshold that changes depending on the elapsed time. The apparatus restricts threshold changes to values larger than determined based on the measured elapsed time, ensuring secure and efficient biometric authentication.
The biometric authentication apparatus and method outlined in the patent involve acquiring biological information, measuring elapsed time, and performing authentication based on a threshold determined by a changing schedule. The system selects the threshold changing schedule based on the similarity between acquired and reference biological information. Additionally, the apparatus restricts threshold changes based on elapsed time, ensuring enhanced security and control over the authentication process. These features make the system suitable for applications like gate access control, where reliable and time-dependent authentication is crucial.
