Migaro Holdings and DXYZ Obtain Patent for FreeiD Facial Recognition Service in Apartment Complexes
Migaro Holdings Co., Ltd., headquartered in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and its group company DXYZ Corporation, have announced a significant advancement in their services. They have recently obtained a new patent for their facial recognition platform service, FreeiD, specifically tailored for the apartment market. This innovation aims to merge digital and physical security, creating added value for users and enhancing overall convenience in apartment transactions.
The FreeiD service has been operating with a system where the management of facial recognition registration is handled by property management companies, such as developers or rental management firms. However, an issue arose with condominium properties where the owners' association, composed of individuals from various units, is responsible for managing the shared spaces. This led to ambiguity regarding the management and responsibility for the facial recognition system.
In response to this challenge, the newly patented system allows residents to initiate and switch their facial recognition registrations independently and securely, without the need for a management company. This innovation is set to revolutionize how condo owners interact with the facial recognition technology.
In the previous system, facial recognition registration required intermediary management, but the new mechanism enables residents to utilize the FreeiD app for registration directly. By confirming the possession of a security token – which could be a hardware device generating one-time passwords, an IC card, or any information media with unique identifiers – the system ensures that only authorized individuals can complete the registration process.
During the handover of ownership, for instance, when a condo is sold, the traditional method involves transferring physical keys. With the introduction of FreeiD, instead of keys, a security token is provided. This token not only signifies the completion of the handover but also allows the new resident to delete previous facial recognition registration data, thereby ensuring a quicker, more convenient, and more secure method of using facial recognition.
This shift will prevent the complexities often associated with updating facial recognition information through management companies during property sales or relocations. It is anticipated that this innovation will enhance the convenience and security of the system, making it much more appealing to developers working on condominium projects in the market.
Migaro Holdings and DXYZ Corporation will continue to leverage this facial recognition platform as they develop smart city solutions. Their efforts aim to accelerate the fusion of real-world services and digital technologies, creating an interconnected ecosystem for various services.
