At this time, a number and / or a character corresponding to each finger are recorded in the recording means in a form of being bound. When this recording means is connected to a fingerprint recognition type input device and the user performs an input operation with a finger, the index data of the finger on which the input was performed and the number input at that time are read.
The read fingerprint data is compared with the fingerprint data in the recording means. If at least one is different, an error occurs and the input is not accepted. If the fingerprint data matches, the number and / or character in the recording means and the number and / or character input together with the fingerprint data are output to the password identification device, and it is determined whether the former corresponds to the latter.

このとき利用者８が入力した番号aも出力される。The fingerprint reading unit 2 is incorporated in each key of the numeric keyboard, and the fingerprint is read by touching the key with a finger, and the fingerprint data and the numerical information of the key are sent to the judgment unit 4. The recording unit 3 is assumed to be a recording medium such as an IC card so that the user 8 can carry it. The user 8 assigns a number to each of the fingerprints of a plurality of his / her fingers and records the fingerprints on the recording medium using some method. The judgment unit 4 compares the fingerprint read by the fingerprint reading unit 2 with the fingerprint recorded in the recording unit 3, and outputs a number b recorded in the recording unit 3 in association with the fingerprint data when they match. .
At this time, the number a input by the user 8 is also output.

1) The fingerprint is read by the fingerprint reading unit 2 (step 1)
2) The fingerprint read by the determination unit 4 is collated with all the fingerprints recorded in the recording unit 3 (step 13).
If they do not match, an error occurs and the subsequent processing is interrupted. If they match, the number “b 1 ” corresponding to the matched fingerprint is output to the personal identification number identification device 6 together with the number a 1 of the key pressed by the user 8. In PIN identification device 6 by referring to the correspondence table 6, the number a 1 and number "b 1" to determine whether they correspond (step 15). If not, an error occurs and the subsequent processing is interrupted. If they match, it is determined whether the key input has been completed four times (step 16). If not, the process returns to step 11 and thereafter. If you have done so, you have entered the correct password.
【００１７】なお、番号ａとｂは全ての指紋が一致して
まとめて暗証番号識別装置６に送るようにしてもよい。The numbers a and b may be sent to the personal identification number identification device 6 in such a manner that all the fingerprints coincide with each other.
【００１８】このように、暗証番号の入力を行うべき指

能である。In this embodiment, a ten-key keyboard is assumed as an example of an input device for inputting with a finger. However, the present invention can be applied to almost all devices (for example, a mouse) that touch and operate with a finger. . Further, the present invention is also applicable to a device having only one portion operated by a finger, for example, an input device having only one portion such as a push button or a touch sensor. In this case, the configuration of the device is the same as that of FIG. 1, but the output a is always constant because it has only one input part. Therefore, it is impossible to make a determination combining the number b and the output a. However, it is possible to obtain only the number assigned to each finger of the user. Therefore, the number can be input only by one operation part by touching the operation part sequentially with each finger to which the number is assigned. Because of these features, it can be applied as a number input device for the visually impaired, and because it is not necessary to have a plurality of input parts, the device can be downsized. It is also possible to apply.
