Announcing the results of a demonstration experiment of volunteer identity authentication and dynamic positioning conducted during the Super Rugby Japan team Sunwolves match

SoftBank Technology Corp., Cybertrust Japan Co., Ltd., NEC Corporation (NEC), Ubiquitous Corporation, and Wacom Corporation participated in the A demonstration experiment of multi-factor electronic authentication to confirm the identity of a total of 700 volunteer staff who participated in the 5 Super Rugby matches against Japan Team Sunwolves, and the optimal placement of volunteers by monitoring dynamic information using device-authenticated smartphones. The we.

In this demonstration experiment, it was confirmed that identity verification using multi-factor electronic authentication using both facial recognition and handwriting recognition has a certain degree of effectiveness in preventing so-called identity theft. In addition, role instructions can be issued at the same time, reducing reception time by approximately 80% compared to manual reception and handing out role instructions. In addition, by monitoring dynamic information using smartphones, we can issue instructions via e-mail to optimally allocate personnel according to crowding conditions and break shifts, reducing crowding. We were able to operate the necessary operations in a flat organization. Furthermore, due to the smooth operation of these systems, 96% of participating volunteers responded to the survey that they were satisfied.

In the future, each company will utilize the combination of multiple authentication systems and the know-how and analysis results of dynamic information systems to improve functions such as non-visual identity verification and guiding users to safe guidance routes. We will continue to expand this system to support the operation of sporting events that are safe and highly hospitable.
