Description

SCREEN SPORTS SYSTEM USING FACE RECOGNITION LOG-IN}

The present invention relates to a screen sports system, such as screen golf or screen baseball, and more particularly, to log in more conveniently by applying facial recognition to the user in performing the login of the user before playing the screen sports. A screen sports system using a configured facial recognition login.

In the modern information society, authentication of an individual is required in various fields, and in particular, the need for authentication of a user is increasing in a system providing a predetermined service to the user. For example, in a screen sports service such as screen baseball or screen golf, which allows users to enjoy a sports game without going out to the field using 3D stereoscopic image and computer simulation technology, after authentication is completed after a user inputs login information. It is configured to enjoy screen sports. These screen sports are popular with modern people who have a hard time playing for real time because of the time and cost savings compared to playing on the field while giving the feeling of playing a real game outdoors.

However, whenever a user wants to use screen sports, they usually have to go through a cumbersome procedure such as inputting an ID or password. Although login is cumbersome for the user, it is difficult to omit the login procedure itself due to the nature of screen sports. Because in the case of screen golf, which is a representative screen sport, since golf is not a group game but an individual record game, it is necessary to save a record played by the user and then view it whenever the user wants. This is because a login is required to verify the identity of each user playing golf.

The conventional login method using the ID and password has a problem that personal information may be abused when the ID and password are leaked to others. In particular, recently, one user uses a plurality of sites in general, so once a user ID and password are leaked, a large amount of damage may occur at a number of sites to which the user is subscribed. Therefore, there is a need to develop a new login system configured to allow a user to log in easily even if the user does not need to memorize at the same time, and there is no fear of leaking to another person.

The present invention has been invented in view of the above circumstances, and by allowing the user to log in using face recognition, which is the user's biometric information, there is no fear that the login information will be leaked to others, and the face recognition login can be easily performed.

A diagram showing an example of a message displayed to a user when a login is made by automatic facial recognition.

Referring to FIG. 1, the screen sports system 1 includes a login server 10 and a service supply unit 20. The login server 10 checks the identity of the user and determines whether to approve the login when the user who wants to use the screen sports service logs in to receive the service. The login server 10 may be a server operated by a service provider that provides a screen sports service to a user. The login server 10 may be provided with a database 30 that stores information necessary to verify the user's identity. The service supply unit 20 is connected to the login server 10 through a wired or wireless communication network, and provides a screen sports service that the user wants to use when the user logs in. The service supply unit 20 may be a so-called 'screen baseball field' operated by a provider who provides a corresponding service when the screen sport that the user wants to use is baseball. Alternatively, if the screen sport that the user wants to use is golf, the service supply unit 20 may be a so-called 'screen golf course' operated by a provider providing the service.

The service supply unit 20 is provided with a screen 21, a controller 22 and a face recognition means 23. The screen 21 displays a related image of a sport to be used by the user. For example, in the case of screen baseball, a virtual stadium, a virtual player, a virtual baseball ball, etc. to be played by the user are displayed, and in the case of screen golf, a virtual golf course and a virtual golf ball to be played by the user are displayed. . When the user hits a baseball or golf ball, the control unit 22 calculates the trajectory of the baseball or golf ball by simulation based on the hit result. In addition to calculating the hit result, the controller 22 may control the overall operation of the components constituting the service supply unit 20. In addition, the control unit 22 may be provided with input means such as a mouse or a keyboard for receiving predetermined information from the user, and display means such as a monitor for showing predetermined information to the user. The face recognizing means 23 may detect the face information of the user and transmit the face information to the login server 10 directly or through the control unit 22.

As shown in FIG. 2, a camera installed in the service supply unit 20 may be used as the face recognition means 23. The camera which can be used as the face recognition means 23 may be separately provided for face recognition, but what is conventionally provided in the screen sports system 1 may be used. The screen sports system 1 detects the content of the user's play (such as hitting a golf ball in a screen golf or hitting a baseball in a screen baseball) and calculates a play result based on the detected content. In order to detect the play content, a sensing means such as a camera is essentially used. Therefore, the camera used to detect the user's play contents can be used for facial recognition, in which case it is economical because there is no need to provide a separate equipment for facial recognition.

As shown in FIG. 3, a mobile phone having a camera function owned by the user may be used as the face recognition means 23. In order to use the user's mobile phone as the face recognition means 23, a passage is provided between the mobile phone and the login server 10 so that the face information of the user taken by the mobile phone is transferred to the login server 10. It should be possible. To this end, the user needs to access the login server 10 with his mobile phone and install the related application provided therein. If the application is executed after the application is installed, the login procedure may be started and the application may request to input facial information. In this case, when the user photographs his or her face, the captured facial information is automatically transmitted to the login server 10. Can be delivered.

As login information for identifying an individual's identity, a lot of usernames and passwords have been used in the past. The ID / password login method has a problem that personal information may be abused when the ID and password are leaked to others. In consideration of these problems, in recent years, a technique of verifying an individual's identity using a fingerprint is used. For example, when a local resident center issues various certificates, a fingerprint is detected to verify the identity of the individual. However, in the case of fingerprint recognition, there is a problem in that the user has to contact his or her finger with the fingerprint reader, and when the fingerprint is worn or the foreign material is on the finger, there is a problem that the recognition rate of the fingerprint is reduced. On the other hand, the facial recognition method has an advantage of solving all the above problems. That is, since facial information is biometric information of an individual, problems such as leakage of personal information in the ID / password method do not occur. In addition, when a camera is used as a face recognizer, since a recent camera provides a high resolution of at least Full-HD resolution (1920 × 1080), a problem that a recognition rate is not lowered like a fingerprint does not occur.

In the case of the fingerprint reader, since the user is usually fixed, the user must first touch the finger with the fingerprint reader to recognize the fingerprint. On the other hand, even if the face recognition means such as the camera can be fixed even if the angle of view can be changed, even if the user does not consciously point at the camera, the camera can automatically photograph the user's face after changing the angle toward the user. have. Therefore, in the case of initiating the login procedure, it is always necessary to request the user to manually initiate the login procedure in the case of fingerprint recognition, and then recognize the fingerprint of the user. In addition, the camera can automatically recognize the user's face and log in automatically. Hereinafter, a process of facial recognition login according to a manual method and an automatic method will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 4, manual login is initiated by requesting a user to log in (S10). As shown in FIG. 5, the user may request a face recognition login procedure to be started by viewing a message displayed on the display unit provided on the screen 21 or the controller 22 and clicking a button such as 'start'. . If there is a request from the user, the face recognizing means 23 obtains face information of the user (S20). The face information of the user obtained here may be image information including the face of the user, which is transmitted to the login server 10. The login server 10 analyzes the obtained information. For example, the login server 10 may divide a video frame column containing the user's face information into a hierarchical structure of scenes and shots, detect a face position, and perform face recognition. By weighting the key feature points of the face such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc., the recognition performance of the face can be improved. After the obtained information is analyzed, the obtained information is compared with facial information of the user stored in the database 30 (S30). In the comparing step, it is possible to calculate the similarity in the amount of information to be compared with each other, so that the login server 10 determines whether the similarity is equal to or more than a predetermined reference value (S40). If the similarity is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference value, it is determined that the user attempting to log in is the same person as the user registered in the database 30 and approves the login (S50). If the similarity does not exceed a predetermined reference value, it is determined that the user attempting to log in is not the same person as the user registered in the database 30, and the login is suspended once. Even if the similarity does not exceed a predetermined reference value, since the user's face state at the time of attempting to log in may be different from that at the time of storing user information in the database 30, the login is not immediately stopped. For example, if the user acquired facial information while looking obliquely or looking elsewhere without looking at the front of the camera, there may be a slight difference compared to the information stored in the database 30. In consideration of the fact that the facial state of the user may be changed as described above, after reacquiring the user's facial information (S60), the similarity is calculated by comparing the reacquired information with the information stored in the database 30 again (S70). It is determined whether the similarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value (S80). If the similarity is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference value, it is determined that the user attempting to log in is the same person as the user registered in the database 30 and approves the login (S50). If not, it is determined that the user attempting to log in is not the same person as the user registered in the database 30, and the login is stopped (S90).

The above-described process of face recognition login only shows an example, and the login process to which face recognition is applied is not limited to the above described process. In addition, the login process described above may be slightly modified. For example, the process of re-acquiring the user's facial information (S60-S80) may be performed not only once but a plurality of times, where the number of times of execution may be set to allow a predetermined upper limit. In addition, in the step of reacquiring the user's face information (S60), a message such as requesting the user to stare directly at the camera may be transmitted to induce more accurate face information to be obtained. In addition, in step S40, when the degree of similarity does not exceed a predetermined reference value, instead of proceeding to re-enter the face information of the user unconditionally, adding the step of comparing the similarity with a predetermined minimum reference value, the similarity is a predetermined minimum If the reference value is less than the user's facial information can be stopped immediately without re-entering the user, and if the similarity exceeds a predetermined minimum reference value may be to re-acquire the user's facial information. In addition, when the degree of similarity does not exceed a predetermined reference value in step S40, instead of proceeding to reacquire the user's facial information, requesting the user to input other information for identifying the user's identity in addition to the facial information of the user. Can be. For example, fingerprint information is stored in addition to the user's face information in the database 30, and if it is determined in step S40 that only the user's face information cannot identify the user's identity, the fingerprint is used instead of the user's face information. By inputting the information, the user's identity can be confirmed using a plurality of biometric information such as a face and a fingerprint. This is useful when the facial state of the user has changed substantially. For example, when a user who has previously worn glasses wears a contact lens instead of glasses when trying to log in, it may be difficult to determine the identity of the user only by facial recognition because the user's face state is changed. Therefore, in this case, it is desirable to confirm the identity of the user using a plurality of biometric information.

Referring to FIG. 6, the login may be automatically started even if the user does not request to perform the login under the automatic login method. For example, if it is determined that someone exists in the field of view of the face recognition means 23 installed in the service supply unit 20, it is regarded as a user of the screen sports to automatically obtain the user's face information (S20) ). The obtained user's facial information is transmitted to the login server 10, and after analyzing the obtained information, the login server 10 compares the obtained information with the user's facial information stored in the database 30 (S30). ). In the comparing step, the similarity in the amount of information to be compared with each other is calculated, and as a result of calculating the similarity, it is determined whether there is a user whose calculated similarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value among the users stored in the database 30 ( S40). If there is a user whose similarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value, it is determined that the person detected by the face recognition means 23 is the same as the user registered in the database 30. In this case, the login may be automatically performed for the user, or even if the registered user is recognized, the user may not want to log in. Therefore, a screen for confirming whether to log in to the user is displayed. Alternatively, the display may be displayed on the display unit provided in the controller 22 to check whether the login request is made (S41). In step S41, since the identity of the user has already been confirmed through automatic facial recognition, the user's name may be displayed in the confirmation message shown to the user as shown in FIG. 7. If the user responds to the message 'YES', the user's identity is already confirmed, so the user immediately approves login (S50). If the user answers 'NO', the login process is stopped (S90). If the similarity calculated in the step S40 does not exceed a predetermined reference value, the process of re-acquiring and re-determining the face information of the user may be performed (S60 to S80). Here, the process described in the manual log-in is similarly applied. Can be. Alternatively, in the automatic method login, the process of reacquiring the face information of the user (S60-S80) itself may be omitted. Since the automatic login is automatic without the user requesting to log in, and the user does not request to log in directly, the detected user is found to be not similar to the user registered in the database 30. This is because it is not necessary to proceed further to the process (S60-S80) to re-acquire the user's facial information.

The screen sports system to which the face recognition login method is applied has been described. Hereinafter, another embodiment in which the face recognition login method is applied to the screen baseball system and the screen golf system in which sports items are specifically defined will be described.

FIG. 8 is a schematic configuration diagram of a screen sports system according to another embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 9 illustrates an example in which a plurality of face recognition cameras are used to automatically form a team in the screen sports system of FIG. 8. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of a message displayed to a user when a team is formed automatically.

Referring to FIG. 8, the present embodiment relates to a screen sports system 100 in which a target sport is baseball, and the system 100 includes a login server 110, a plurality of screen ballparks 120, and a database 130. Include. The login server 110 and the plurality of screen baseball fields 120 are connected through a wired or wireless communication network. The login server 110 determines whether to approve a login by referring to the information stored in the database 130 when users log in at each screen baseball field 120. The screen baseball field 120 is provided with a striking plate 121, a ball pitching unit 122, a control unit 123, a screen 124, and the like. The striking plate 121 represents a striking zone where the user is positioned to strike the baseball. Ball pitching unit 122 is a mechanism for firing a baseball so that the user can strike. The controller 123 is responsible for various operations and control necessary for the overall operation of the screen baseball field. Screen 124 displays an image related to baseball to the user. For example, the pitcher pitching, the trace of the baseball hit by the user or the defender defending the hit baseball. Although not shown in the drawing, the screen baseball field 120 has a sensing means including a camera or various sensors for detecting the physical state of the baseball hit by the user, and an input such as a keyboard or a mouse for receiving various information from the user. Means may be further provided.

When the screen sports system 100 is operated, a user hits a baseball pitched by the ball pitching unit 122, and the sensing unit detects a physical state of the hit baseball and detects it in the controller 123. The controller 123 calculates a batting result (ground ball, fly, hit, home run, etc.) of the baseball based on the received information, and the image according to the result is displayed on the screen 124.

Face recognition login is also applied to the screen sports system 100 according to the present embodiment. Referring to FIG. 9, a plurality of cameras 126 and 127 may be used to recognize a user's face in face recognition login. As described above, when the plurality of cameras 126 and 127 are used for facial recognition, there is an advantage in that a play method such as team configuration can be automatically set.

When a plurality of users use screen baseball, they often play by forming a team and confronting each other. In the conventional screen baseball, when a plurality of users form a team, it is necessary to set how to separately form the team after completing the login. For example, if you have 4 users (A, B, C, D) and they are teamed up in teams of 2 players, (A, B) will be the team and will be the first to attack (baseball 'second' attack) Suppose that (C, D) teams up and makes a second (baseball attack). In order to play a team in this way, each of A, B, C, and D logs in, sets a team configuration of (A, B) / (C, D), and also selects (A, B) teams. It is necessary to set up as a starting line and to set (C, D) team as a starting hole.

However, in the screen sports system 100 according to the present embodiment, all of the above complex steps may be processed using only one procedure of login. For example, a user recognized by the first camera 126 among the plurality of cameras 126 and 127 is automatically organized into a team of teams during the facial recognition process for login, and a user recognized by the second camera 127 automatically. If you want to organize as a team, you can handle login, team members, team, team, etc. all in one process called facial recognition. As described above, when a plurality of face recognition cameras 126 and 127 are to process various processes in one procedure of face recognition, a notification message as shown in FIG. It is preferable to guide to the user through). Looking at the notification message, if A, B recognizes his or her face to the first camera 126 and C, D recognizes his or her face to the second camera 127, the screen sports system 100 is the first team It is (A, B) and the post team recognizes (C, D), and as it is recognized, it processes user login, team member setting, predecessor, post team setting. Alternatively, before completing the above-described processing, as shown in FIG. 10, the user may confirm whether the user's intention is accurately reflected in the team configuration while showing the user the contents of the team configuration through the screen 124 or the like. have.

FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a schematic process of group login by manual face recognition, and FIG. 15 is a message shown to a user when group login is performed by manual face recognition. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a schematic process of group login by automatic face recognition, and FIGS. 17 and 18 show examples of a message displayed to a user when group login is performed by automatic face recognition. Is a drawing showing

Referring to FIG. 11, the present embodiment relates to a screen sports system 200 in which a target sport is golf, and the system 200 includes a login server 210, a plurality of screen golf courses 220, and a database 230. Include. The login server 210 is connected to the plurality of screen golf courses 220 through a wired or wireless communication network. The login server 210 determines whether to approve a login by referring to the information stored in the database 230 when users log in at each screen golf course 220. The screen golf course 220 is provided with a striking plate 221, a sensing unit 222, an input unit 223, a control unit 224, and a screen 225. The striking plate 221 corresponds to the striking zone where the user strikes the golf ball. The sensing unit 222 is composed of a camera or various sensors to detect the physical state of the golf ball hit by the user. The input unit 223 is for receiving various information from a user, and a keyboard or a mouse may be used. Information input by the input unit 223 may include a golf course or difficulty of playing the user. The control unit 224 controls the overall operation of each component in the screen golf, and after the user hits the golf ball, the golf ball to be displayed on the screen 225 based on the detection result of the detection unit 222 Calculates the trajectory of. Screen 225 displays a golf related image to the user. Although not shown in the drawing, the controller 224 may be provided with display means such as a monitor for showing predetermined information to the user.

As in the above-described embodiments, the facial recognition login is applied in the present embodiment. In addition, in the present embodiment, a method of group login may be applied together with face recognition login. Most users who use screen golf, etc. play in a group rather than playing alone. As described above, in order for a plurality of users forming a group to complete a login, members of the group had to log in each. However, when the group login method is applied, when multiple users form one group, the login is completed only by the login by the representative of the group (or some of the group members) instead of the members of the group logging in individually. By doing so, it is possible to quickly complete the login process without having to individually log in several members of the group.

For example, suppose there are 4 users who always play screen golf together. When they want to use the screen golf service, there is a high possibility that 4 people will always play together. Rather, if any one of the four people log in on behalf of the group, the login for the four members of the group is automatically completed. According to the present embodiment, since the face recognition login method is applied as the login, only the face information of the representative is acquired in the group login, and it is compared with the stored information of the database 230 to determine whether to approve the group login.

In order to use group login, the information of the group itself including the individual information of the members constituting the group must be stored separately. To this end, as shown in FIG. 12, the database 230 includes a second database 232 storing group information in addition to the first database 231 storing individual user information. The first database 231 stores personal information of the user and information on a play record that the user has played in the past as individual user information. In addition, the first database stores user face information for determining whether to approve login when an individual wants to perform a face recognition login. Therefore, by comparing the face information of the user transmitted when the individual user attempts to log in with the face information of the user stored in the user face information of the first database 231, whether to approve the login of the user. It will be judged. As the group information, the second database 232 stores group human information (name of the group, members constituting the group, group representative, etc.), and information on the play record that the group has played in the past. Although not shown in the drawing, the second database 232 may store face information of members or representatives of the group. Alternatively, even if face information of the members or representatives who make up the group is not stored in the second database 232, the face information of each group member is stored in the first database 231. Reference may be made to the database 231.

When a plurality of users play together, settings related to the play method may be required before the actual play. For example, prior to starting screen golf, the user may select the golf course or difficulty of play that he wishes to play. In addition, although a plurality of users may play each player individually, a plurality of teams may be formed to play by confronting each other. If multiple users registered as a group always play the same way, it is convenient to have them set automatically rather than setting them each time they log in. For example, a specific group of members A, B, C, and D always teams up as Team 1 (Member A, Member B) / Team 2 (Member C, Member D) on a particular golf course, at a certain difficulty. If you play a team against each other, you can set this play method every time you play, but if the group is stored in the information of the play method, if the group 'group login' is stored in the information of the group By automatically setting the play method with reference to the play method, it is possible to reduce the inconvenience of having to set the play method every time. Here, one play method of the group may be stored, or a plurality of methods may be stored, and the group may be selected to be selected while showing the plurality of methods when the group is logged in. As described above, in order to store a method of frequently playing the group when the group is logged in as described above, as illustrated in FIG. 12, information regarding the play method of the group may be stored in the second database 232.

Referring to FIG. 13, when a plurality of users team up to play screen golf, windows 226 and 227 representing members of each team may be displayed on the screen 225. For example, if a user of A, B, C, and D confronts team 1 (member A, member B) and team 2 (member C, member D), the window 226 showing the members of team 1 and Windows 227 showing members of team 2 may be displayed on screen 225, respectively. In addition, if members A, B, C, and D are logged in as a group login, and the group configuration of Team 1 (Member A, Member B) and Team 2 (Member C, Member D) is stored in the group information of the group, Whenever a group plays a screen golf, the team record such as team 1 and team 2 scores can be automatically recorded in addition to the individual record. As shown in FIG. Team record may be displayed. The team record here may be a past team record, a record of a team currently playing, or a record summed up to past and present play records.

When using the facial recognition login in the group login, as described above, both manual and automatic methods can be applied. Hereinafter, a process of manual and automatic login will be described with reference to the drawings.

Referring to FIG. 14, manual group login is initiated by requesting a user to perform a group login (S10). As shown in FIG. 15, when a group login is applied, a message for selecting either an individual login or a group login may be displayed on the display unit provided on the screen 225 or the controller 224, and the user may display a message. You can choose to log in to a group while viewing this message. If there is a request for group login of the user, the face information of the user is obtained by the face recognizing means (S20). Although not shown in FIG. 11, a separate camera may be installed as the face recognizing means, or the camera of the detecting unit 222 may be used as a face recognizing means while serving to detect a physical state of a golf ball. . The facial information obtained here should be the facial information of the user registered as the representative in the group requesting the group login, so the representative of the group needs to have his face photographed by the facial recognition means in the facial recognition step. . The obtained representative's facial information is transmitted to the login server 210, and the login server 210 compares the obtained information with facial information of the corresponding group representative stored in the database 230 (S30). In the comparing step, it is possible to calculate the similarity of the amount of information to be compared with each other, accordingly, the login server 210 determines whether the similarity is more than a predetermined reference value (S40). If the similarity is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference value, it is determined that the group attempting to log in is the same as the group registered in the database 230 (S50). If the similarity does not exceed a predetermined reference value, the group login is once suspended, the face information of the group representative is reacquired (S60), and then the reentrant information is compared with the information stored in the database 230 (S70). The similarity may be calculated and again determined whether the similarity is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference value (S80). If the similarity is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference value, the group login is approved (S50). If the similarity is not greater than or equal to the predetermined reference value, the group login is stopped (S90). Since the process of S60-S80 here is similar to the process of S60-S80 described above with reference to Figure 4, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Referring to FIG. 16, an automatic group login is automatically initiated even if the user does not request to perform a group login. For example, if it is determined that someone exists in the field of view of the face recognition means, it is regarded as a user who wants to use screen sports, and the user's face information is automatically obtained (S20). The obtained user's facial information is transmitted to the login server 210, and the login server 210 analyzes the obtained information, and then obtains the received information and facial information of the user stored in the database 230 as a representative of the group. Compare (S30). In the comparing step, the similarity in the amount of information to be compared with each other is calculated, and it is determined whether the calculated similarity is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference value (S40). If the similarity is more than a predetermined reference value, it is determined that the person detected by the facial recognition means is the same person as the user registered as the representative of the group in the database 230. In this case, the group login may be automatically performed for the group to which the representative belongs, but even if the registered group representative is recognized, other members of the group may not be on the screen golf course 220, so the group login for the group It is preferable to display a message for confirming whether or not to display on the display means provided on the screen 225 or the control unit 224 (S41). As shown in FIG. 17, since the identity of the group representative is already confirmed through automatic facial recognition, the name of the group to which the representative belongs may be displayed in the message. If the answer is 'YES' to the message, since the identity of the group representative is already confirmed, the group login is immediately approved (S50). If the answer is 'NO', the group login procedure is stopped (S90). If the similarity calculated in step S40 does not exceed a predetermined reference value, the process of re-acquiring and re-determining the face information of the user may be performed (S60 to S80). Here, the process described in the manual group login is similarly performed. Can be applied. Alternatively, in the automatic method group login, the process of re-receiving the face information of the representative (S60 to S80) itself may be omitted. The automatic group login is automatically performed without the user requesting a login, and because the user does not request to proceed with the login directly, the detected user is found to be not similar to the representative registered in the database 230. In this state, it is not necessary to proceed further until the process of re-acquiring and determining the user's facial information (S60-S80).

In the automatic method of group login, when the representative is recognized in step S40, a message for confirming the group login is displayed, and then the group login is approved in step S50. However, even if the representative is recognized in step S40, the step S50 is not immediately performed. Instead, you can add more intermediate steps in between. For example, suppose that there is a group consisting of members A, B, C, and D, of which A is representative, A, B, C, and D have all visited screen golf course 220 and representative A has been recognized. In this case, there is no problem even if the group login proceeds (step S40 to step S50) for A, B, C, and D. However, when only A and B visits the screen golf course 220 among A, B, C, and D, the group login consisting of (A, B, C, D) cannot be performed while the members are insufficient, so step S40. Do not log in automatically as you proceed to step S50. As such, only a part of the members of the group may visit the screen golf course 220. Therefore, even if the representative A is recognized even under the automatic group login method, other members other than the representative A (B) do not proceed immediately. , C, D) It is preferable to automatically proceed to group login after recognizing whether there is. Alternatively, after automatically recognizing whether there are other members B, C, and D other than the representative A, it is preferable to confirm the user's intention to log in to the group by displaying a guide message as shown in FIG.

If A, B, C, D visits the screen golf course 220 with E, F, who is not a member of the group, and all the members of the group (A, B, C, D) use the automatic face recognition. In the case where it is confirmed that the user is at 220 and the user E, F other than the group member is recognized as being at the screen golf course 220, through the guide message as shown in FIG. You can check whether or not you want to register other users E and F as group members. If the user answers with YES, the information about the group is updated in the database 230 by adding E and F as members of the group.
