Patent 11967174 was granted and assigned to Hitachi Kokusai Electric Inc. on April, 2024 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The cloud server holds the main database for storing all the registration data that is handled in the present system, and the edge server that is arranged close to the sensor holds a sub-database for storing part of the registration data. The sub-database in the edge server stores only the registration data having a high probability of being verified in the edge server. In the case where the edge server verifies the detection data that has been acquired by the sensor with the registration data within the sub-database and determines that the registration data that matches the detection data does not exist within the sub-database, the configuration allows the detection data to be transmitted to the cloud server and requests the detection data to be verified with the registration data within the main database.
