Application: Information processing apparatus, information processing method, matching system, program, and storage medium (Patent ID: US20240104178A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp. describes an information processing apparatus that calculates the similarity between biometric information of a person of interest and registration candidate data, selecting the registration data with the highest similarity to be stored for matching purposes. The apparatus includes a similarity calculation unit and a registration data selection unit to facilitate this process. Additionally, the system can select registration data based on similarities to both the test data and a plurality of data on different persons stored in the data storage unit.
Furthermore, the patent also covers a matching system that includes a data acquisition device, a storage device with biometric information on multiple persons, and an information processing apparatus with a similarity calculation unit and a matching unit. This system determines if the person indicated by the acquired biometric information is registered in the storage device by calculating similarities between the acquired data and the registered data. The registration data selection unit selects the registration data based on similarities to the test data and the stored biometric information of multiple persons, ensuring accurate matching and identification processes.
