FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a photographic image to which tag information has been added.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

Figure 1 shows the system configuration of a matching system according to one embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, a matching system according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured such that a matching service providing server 10 is connected to multiple terminal devices 20 via the Internet 30.

Here, each of the mobile terminals 20 is a terminal device such as a smartphone, and is connected to the Internet 30 via a wireless LAN terminal 40. Note that it is also possible to use the matching service using an information processing device such as a personal computer instead of the mobile terminal 20.

The matching service providing server 10 provides a matching service for multiple pre-registered users to search for members of the opposite sex who could potentially become dating or marriage partners. The purpose of such a matching service is to browse the profile information, which is self-introduction information of many registered members of the opposite sex, to search for members of the opposite sex who match the user's hobbies and conditions.

In this matching system, it is common for face photos to be registered as profile information so that the appearance of service users can be confirmed. However, there is a concern that if any image is allowed to be registered without prior confirmation, it may be possible for a face photo of another person to be registered. For example, if a face photo of another person downloaded from the Internet or taken as a screenshot is registered as a face photo of the person in question, a face photo of another person will be registered.

And because of the nature of a matching service, which involves potentially meeting individuals face-to-face for the first time, it is important to ensure that the facial photo displayed in the registered profile is of the individual.

As a method for preventing such registration of a facial photograph of another person, a method is sometimes used in which a person is required to present a photo ID such as a driver's license, and it is confirmed in advance that the photo on the ID and the photo to be registered are the same person. However, when using such a method, the verification work to confirm that the two photos are of the same person is done manually, which is time-consuming and laborious.

Therefore, in the matching service of this embodiment, the process described below is performed to prevent the registration of facial images of users other than the user when registering the facial image of the user.

Next, the hardware configuration of the mobile terminal 20 in the matching system of this embodiment is shown in Figure 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, the mobile terminal 20 has a CPU 11, a memory 12, a storage device 13 such as a flash memory, a communication interface (abbreviated as IF) 14 for transmitting and receiving data between the device and an external device, a user interface (abbreviated as UI) device 15 including a touch panel or liquid crystal display, and a camera 16. These components are connected to each other via a control bus 17.

The CPU 11 is a processor that executes a predetermined process based on a control program stored in the memory 12 or the storage device 13 to control the operation of the mobile terminal 20. Note that in this embodiment, the CPU 11 is described as reading and executing an application program for a matching service stored in the memory 12 or the storage device 13, but it is also possible to store the program in an external storage medium and provide it to the CPU 11.

Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the mobile terminal 20 that is realized by executing the above application program.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile terminal 20 includes a display unit 31, an operation reception unit 32, a face photo image registration processing unit 33, a data transmission/reception unit 34, an image file management table memory unit 35, a photo image management unit 36, a photo image storage unit 37, and a same person determination processing unit 38.

The display unit 31 displays various information to the user. The operation reception unit 32 receives various pieces of operation information performed by the user. In the mobile terminal 20 of this embodiment, the display unit 31 and the operation reception unit 32 form a touch panel. The data transmission/reception unit 34 transmits and receives data to and from the matching service providing server 10.

The face photo image registration processing unit 33 accepts a face photo image of the user to be registered as profile information, and executes the process of registering it in the matching system. Specifically, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 accepts from the user a designation of a face photo image to be registered as profile information from among the photo images stored in the terminal device 20, and transmits the accepted face photo image as the face photo image of the user to the matching service providing server 10 via the data transmission/reception unit 33.

Here, when accepting input of a facial photo image of a user to be registered, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 accepts only facial photo images taken using the photographing function of the device itself, and registers the accepted facial photo image as the facial photo image of that user.

Note that a photographic image taken using a photographing function such as a camera provided in the terminal device 20 is more likely to be a facial photograph of the user than an image downloaded from outside the device, a screenshot, or the like. Therefore, by making it possible to select images that can be registered as profile information only from images taken on the user's own device, the possibility of a facial photograph of another person being registered as the user's facial photograph is reduced.

When storing images in the photo image storage unit 37, which is the storage area of the device itself, or in a storage area of a recording medium such as an SD memory card connected to the device, the photo image management unit 36 manages images downloaded via the Internet 30 by distinguishing between images obtained from outside the device, images obtained by screenshots, and camera images taken on the device itself.

Here, an image acquired by a screenshot is an image that captures all or part of an image displayed on the display screen of the display unit 31. Also, a camera image captured on the device itself is an image captured using the image capture function of the device itself.

When the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 accepts input of a facial photo image of a user to be registered, it accepts an image selected from images managed in the photo image management unit 36 as images taken using the photographing function of the device as the facial photo image of the user.

For example, the photo image management unit 36 associates images downloaded from outside the device via the Internet 30, screenshot images, and camera images taken on the device with attribute information indicating the route taken when the images were acquired, and stores the images in the photo image storage unit 37.

Specifically, the image file management table storage unit 35 stores an image file management table for managing various attribute information of each photo image stored in the photo image storage unit 37 or an external storage medium such as an SD card in association with each other. When storing a photo image in the photo image storage unit 37, the photo image management unit 36 uses this image file management table to manage the acquisition path of each photo image.

An example of such an image file management table is shown in FIG. 4. In the image file management table shown in FIG. 4, attribute information such as the file name, storage date and time, and acquisition route of the photo images stored in the photo image storage unit 37, etc., is managed for each photo image.

In this image file management table, a photo image with an acquisition route of "screenshot" means that it is an image of a screenshot obtained by acquiring an image displayed on the display unit 31. A photo image with an acquisition route of "download" means that it is an image downloaded from outside the device via the Internet 30. Furthermore, a photo image with an acquisition route of "taken with the device's own camera" means that it is an image taken with the device's own camera.

When attribute information is associated with each image and managed in this manner, when the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 accepts input of a facial photo image of a user to be registered, it accepts as the facial photo image of that user an image selected from among images associated with attribute information indicating that the image was taken using the photographing function of the device itself.

As a management method other than associating attribute information with each photo image, the photo image storage unit 37 may use a management method in which images downloaded from outside the device via the Internet 30, screenshot images, and camera images taken on the device itself are stored in different files. Note that this file is an example of a storage location for storing photo images, and the storage location is not limited to files as long as the storage location allows each photo image to be managed separately.

When the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 accepts input of a facial photo image of a user to be registered, it accepts an image selected from the images stored in a file that stores images taken using the photographing function of the device as the facial photo image of the user.

An example of such photo image management is shown in Figure 5. Referring to this Figure 5, we can see that folders named "Screenshots," "Downloads," and "Camera" are provided in the hierarchy below the folder that stores image files.

When storing photo images in the photo image storage unit 37, the photo image management unit 36 stores images downloaded from outside the device via the Internet 30 in a folder called "downloads," stores screenshot images in a folder called "screenshots," and stores camera images taken on the device in a folder called "camera."

Then, when accepting input of a facial photo image of a user to be registered, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 will only accept photo images stored in a folder called "Camera" as the facial photo image of that user.

When the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 receives input of a facial photo image of a user to be registered, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 displays the photo image on the display unit 31 so that the user can select the facial photo image to be registered.

At this time, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 may display only the camera images taken by the own device on the display unit 31 in a selectable manner.

At this time, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 may display only the camera images taken on the own device on the display unit 31, or may display only the camera images taken on the own device selectable on the display unit 31 while also displaying images other than the camera images taken on the own device. Furthermore, when images other than the camera images taken on the own device are also displayed, the images may be displayed in a form distinguishable from the camera images taken on the own device so as to indicate that images other than the camera images cannot be selected. For example, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 displays images other than the camera images by graying them out or adding information indicating that they are not selectable.

Alternatively, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 may notify the user that if an image other than a camera image taken on the user's own device is selected, the selected image cannot be registered.

As described above, in the mobile terminal 20 of this embodiment, images that can be registered as profile information can be selected only from images taken by the device itself, thereby reducing the possibility that a facial image of another person will be registered as the user's facial image.

However, even if the images that can be registered as profile information can only be selected from images taken with the user's own device, it is not possible to completely prevent another person's facial image from being registered as the user's facial image.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the mobile terminal 20 is equipped with a same person determination processing unit 38, which reduces the possibility that a facial photo image of another person will be registered as the user's facial photo image.

In addition, even if the image is a photograph or a screenshot downloaded from outside the device, it may be a facial image of the user.

The same person determination processing unit 38 compares the facial photo image of the user stored in the device with the facial photo image accepted for registration in the profile information, and determines whether the two facial photo images are of the same person. The same person determination processing unit 38 uses a known image processing method to determine whether the person appearing in each of the two facial photo images is the same person.

When a user inputs a face photo image to be registered as profile information, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 acquires the face photo image associated with the user from among the face photo images stored in the device, and controls the same person determination processing unit 38 to match the input face photo image with the face photo image.

If the same person determination processing unit 38 determines that the two facial image images are of the same person, the facial image registration processing unit 33 registers the input facial image as the facial image of the user in the matching service providing server 10.

The specific method for acquiring the facial photo image associated with the user from among the facial photo images stored in the device will be described later.

Next, the operation of registering a user's face photo image on the mobile terminal 20 of the matching system of this embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the operation when only images captured using the image capture function of the device itself are displayed as candidate images will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. 6.

First, in step S101, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 displays a selection screen on the display unit 31 for selecting a face photo image to be registered as profile information.

At this time, in step S102, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 displays only images captured using the image capture function of the device as candidate images on the selection screen.

An example of a selection screen displayed in this way is shown in FIG. 7. In the selection screen example shown in FIG. 7, only images captured using the image capture function of the device itself are displayed as selectable, and photo images and screenshot images downloaded and obtained from outside the device are displayed as grayed out and unselectable. Note that in the selection screen example shown in FIG. 7, photo images and screenshot images downloaded and obtained from outside the device are displayed as unselectable, but such images may not be displayed as candidate images.

When the user selects an image from the selection screen and issues an instruction to register it, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 transmits the image selected by the user to the matching service providing server 10 as a facial photo image to be registered as profile information in step S103.

Specifically, when a user selects one photo image on the selection screen shown in FIG. 7 and presses the "OK" button, the photo image is registered as the user's face image as profile information. As a result, the mobile terminal 20 displays a message indicating that the photo image has been registered as profile information, as shown in FIG. 8.

Next, we will explain the operation when images other than those captured using the device's image capture function are displayed as candidate images, with reference to the flowchart in Figure 9.

First, in step S201, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 displays a selection screen on the display unit 31 for selecting a face photo image to be registered as profile information.

At this time, in step S202, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 displays, on the selection screen, not only images captured using the image capture function of the device itself, but also screenshot images and images downloaded from outside the device as candidate images.

An example of the selection screen displayed in this way is shown in Figure 10. In the selection screen example shown in Figure 10, in addition to images captured using the image capture function of the device itself, photographic images and screenshot images downloaded from outside the device are also displayed in a selectable state.

Here, if the user selects one image from the selection screen and issues a registration instruction, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 accepts the image selected by the user in step S203.

Then, in step S204, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 determines whether the image selected by the user was taken using the image capture function of the device itself.

If it is determined that the image selected by the user was not taken using the image capture function of the device, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 notifies the user in step S205 that the selected image cannot be registered.

For example, on a selection screen such as that shown in FIG. 10, when a user selects a photo image other than a camera image taken on the user's device and presses the "OK" button, a display such as that shown in FIG. 11 appears, informing the user that the selected image cannot be registered.

In the example display screen shown in FIG. 11, the text "It has been determined that the selected photo may not contain you" is displayed, and the user is notified that the selected photo image was not registered as profile information. In the example display screen shown in FIG. 11, when the user presses the OK button, the display returns to the selection screen shown in FIG. 10.

If it is determined in step S204 that the image selected by the user is an image taken using the photographing function of the user's own device, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 transmits the selected image to the matching service providing server 10 in step S206 as a facial photo image to be registered as profile information.

Here, other examples of the display screen when it is determined that the image selected by the user was not taken using the image capture function of the device itself are shown in Figures 12 to 14.

In the example display screen shown in FIG. 12, the text "Please start the camera and take a new photo of your face" is displayed, and when the user presses the "Start camera" button, the camera starts up and transitions to photography mode. The face photo image registration processing unit 33 then registers the face photo image of the user taken by the started camera as profile information.

In addition, in the example display screen shown in FIG. 13, the text "Please take a photo of your face now to confirm that the selected photo is your face" is displayed, and when the user presses the OK button, the camera starts up and transitions to photography mode.

Then, the same person determination processing unit 38 determines whether the person in the photographed image and the person in the selected image are the same person. If the same person determination processing unit 38 determines that the people in the two images are the same person, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 registers the photo image selected by the user as profile information.

Note that FIG. 13 shows a case where the user is prompted to start the camera to take a facial photo image for identity verification, but the camera may be automatically started without user confirmation to take a facial photo image of the user, and it may be determined whether the selected photo image is that of the user himself.

In addition, the example display screen shown in FIG. 14 shows a case in which photo images that have been taken using the photographing function of the device and that have been determined to be highly likely to be a facial image of the user are presented to the user as candidate images, along with the text "How do you like this photo?"

Here, methods for selecting an image determined to be highly likely to be a facial image of the user from among the photographic images taken using the photographing function of the device can include a method of selecting an image of the same person as an image registered on an external SNS (Social Networking Service), or a method of selecting a photographic image associated with the user using tag information, etc., as described below.

Furthermore, if there are multiple photographic images that are determined to be highly likely to be a facial image of the user, various selection methods can be used, such as selecting the newest photographic image, selecting the oldest photographic image, selecting randomly, or selecting the photographic image determined to be the most beautiful by a known image algorithm.

Finally, we will explain the operation of performing the registration process after confirming whether the person in the photo image selected by the user is the user himself/herself, with reference to the flowchart in Figure 15.

In steps S301 to S303, the facial photo image registration processing unit 33 displays a selection screen on the display unit 31 for selecting a facial photo image to be registered as profile information, and accepts the image selected by the user.

Note that the processing of steps S301 to S303 in the flowchart of FIG. 15 is the same as the processing of steps S201 to S203 described in the flowchart of FIG. 9, so a description thereof will be omitted.

Then, in step S304, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 acquires a face photo image to be used for identity verification from among the photo images stored in the device. In other words, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 acquires a photo image that is highly likely to be the face photo image of the user.

Specifically, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 acquires a photo image to which the user's tag information has been added from among the photo images stored in the device. An example of a photo image to which tag information has been added is shown in FIG. 16.

In each photo image shown in FIG. 16, the name of the person in the image is added as tag information 70.

Here, if the name of the user who is trying to register a face photo as profile information is "Fuji Taro", the face photo image registration processing unit 33 will obtain a photo image with the file name 1000123.jpg or 1000125.jpg as the face photo image for identity verification.

Then, in step S305, the same person determination processing unit 38 determines whether the person in the photo image selected by the user and the person in the face photo image used for identity verification are the same person.

If it is determined that the person in the photo image selected by the user is not the same person as the person in the face photo image for identity verification, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 notifies the user in step S307 that the selected image cannot be registered.

In addition, if it is determined in step S306 that the person in the photo image selected by the user and the person in the face photo image for identity verification are the same person, the face photo image registration processing unit 33 transmits the selected image to the matching service providing server 10 in step S308 as a face photo image to be registered as profile information.

In each of the above embodiments, the term "processor" refers to a processor in a broad sense, including general-purpose processors (e.g., CPU: Central Processing Unit, etc.) and dedicated processors (e.g., GPU: Graphics Processing Unit, ASIC: Application Specific Integrated Circuit, FPGA: Field Programmable Gate Array, programmable logic device, etc.).

In addition, the processor operations in each of the above embodiments may not only be performed by a single processor, but may also be performed by multiple processors located at physically separate locations working together. Furthermore, the order of each processor operation is not limited to the order described in each of the above embodiments, and may be changed as appropriate.

[Variations]
In the above embodiment, a case has been described in which a facial photo image of a user is registered as profile information in a matching system on a mobile terminal 20, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be similarly applied to cases in which a facial photo image is registered using various information processing devices such as a tablet terminal, a fixed terminal such as a personal computer, etc.
