Description

  The present invention enables biometrics identity verification and acquisition and exercise of rights associated with identity verification, and functions as a substitute for physical certificates and cards such as conventional seals, certificates, commuter passes, and prepaid cards. The present invention relates to a biometrics application invention.

  Techniques for personal authentication based on physical, biological (physiological) or behavioral patterns such as fingerprints, palms, voices, irises, retinas, faces, footprints, paces, signatures, etc. are advancing. Signatures and fingerprints are personal authentication methods that have been used for a long time. The palm (palm) can be authenticated and analyzed in the same way as fingerprints, but it is not as general as fingerprints. However, the palm has a merit that it is easy to read by non-contact because the subject is large, and the person to be authenticated has little resistance. On the other hand, voiceprint analysis is attracting attention for crime investigation by telephone. Voiceprint analysis is an important clue for investigating criminals, especially in the case of kidnappings because ransom demands are made over the phone.

  “Electronic insurance card system, terminal device, computer, insurance card information transmission method, insurance card information transmission program, and computer-readable recording medium recording insurance card information transmission program” (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-230157) It refers to an electronic insurance card system that sends and receives insurance card information from the ground to medical institutions, maintains accurate insurance information, and settles medical expenses. When sending and receiving insurance card information, personal authentication by biometrics (biometrics) such as fingerprints and voiceprints is also mentioned. As a method for performing high-precision personal authentication, there is a “voice dictionary creation method, personal authentication device and recording medium” (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-344992).

  Biometrics personal authentication is to verify the identity of the person who exercises the rights when exercising any right. For example, when a credit card is used, since the credit card owner is not necessarily the owner of the credit card (card right holder), identity verification is performed using a signature or the like. In this case, the card is the leading role and the signature is the supporting role. However, as a system capable of purchasing a product by only personal authentication by biometrics, there is “cashless transaction system and program by fingerprint authentication” (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-251584). In this system, fingerprints are used as a tool for personal authentication, and even if you do not have a credit card or cash, if you are a registered fingerprint member, you will be able to confirm your identity with your fingerprint and purchase products. Yes.

  Similarly, in “Product Sales System, Vending Machine, Program and Recording Medium by Vending Machine” (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-85624), credit card information and authentication information are registered in the customer information database in advance. The company proposes a system that allows users to purchase desired products from a vending machine simply by entering authentication information into the vending machine. The use of voiceprint data or fundus photographic data, so-called biometric data, as authentication information is also mentioned.

In the palm shape authentication, a method of collating finger length, palm size, heel and the like is used. An image scanner is generally used as a palm-shaped reader. An example of a device using a CCD camera as a reading device is the MJJ palm shape determination device. This is a method of judging from the palm of the palm read by the CCD camera from the base of the finger to the fingertip, and the false recognition rate is said to be 0.1%. In the case of a CCD camera, there is an advantage that non-contact reading is possible and digital image data can be obtained directly. Newly, vein patterns are used in the vein pattern analysis method developed by Fujitsu Laboratories. After the vein pattern is established in the womb, it remains the same throughout its life except that its size changes with growth. Even in twins, the vein pattern is said to be different. For this reason, a method of reading a vein pattern with near infrared rays and analyzing it for personal authentication is promising. In “Personal Authentication Device, Personal Authentication Method, Program” (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-150962), the vein pattern of the wrist is the target of recognition. “Personal authentication system” (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-279426) describes a method for recognizing a vein pattern on the back of the hand and excluding information from other than the back of the hand.

  As seen in the prior art, various methods have been developed for biometrics personal authentication. It is no exaggeration to say that any part of the human body can be subject to personal authentication. In the past, blood could only be identified by four types, A, B, O, and AB, but now it can be classified into more detailed types. In the genetic analysis, it is possible to identify individuals completely, although there are problems with identical twins, assuming that there are no cloned humans. However, in general, personal authentication by biometrics uses superficial human features such as signatures, fingerprints, palm shapes, voiceprints, irises, and face shapes in consideration of ease of handling and the resistance of the person to be authenticated. ing.

  Personal authentication is used to prevent fraudulent third parties by “spoofing” by identifying individuals. Examples of this are personal authentication such as signature by credit card, voice permission for access permission on the Internet (generally combined with a password). Systems such as the “cashless transaction system and program using fingerprint authentication” mentioned in the prior art can be used to purchase merchandise without credit cards or cash.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to expand the field of application in which rights can be exercised and personal identification can be performed only with biometrics, using biometrics technology in the same way as already published patent application cases. .

  In order to solve the problem to be solved by the present invention, what has been conventionally used only for personal authentication by biometrics is used for other functions simultaneously with the personal identification. One is a system (biometrics rights acquisition and exercise system) in which payment is made in advance, human body measurement data is registered to acquire rights, and rights such as purchase of goods can be exercised using only human body measurement data. The other is a processing system (Biometrics personal authentication system) that completes identification and qualifications that have previously required identification (eg, driver's license) by only personal confirmation (authentication) based on anthropometric data. ). The biometrics rights acquisition and exercise system includes the following means.

  This system consists of a management server that manages anthropometric data for personal authentication and individual acquired rights data in a management database, and a terminal with an anthropometry device for the rights holder to exercise their rights. The terminal is connected with a communication line. When the right holder inputs the anthropometric data at the terminal with an anthropometric device and sends it to the management server, the management server performs personal authentication against the registered anthropometric data. The right exercise limit data of the right of acquisition of the certifier (right holder) is read from the database and transmitted to the terminal. The right holder exercises the right within the exercise limit and transmits the result to the management server. The management server updates the exercise limit data based on the received exercise result. This completes the process associated with the exercise of a series of rights. Of course, in order to enable this series of processing, it is necessary to register data (human body measurement data and price) for acquiring rights in the management database in advance.

  The fields of application targeted by the biometrics rights acquisition and exercise system of the present invention are the exercise of biometrics rights income as a substitute for commuter passes, fitness club membership cards, golf memberships, telephone cards, and prepaid cards. The contents differ slightly depending on the individual. Details will be described in the embodiment of the invention.

  The biometrics personal authentication system performs identity verification simply by registering human measurement data in the database of the management server in advance. The object of the present invention is age authentication, electorate voter, register, resident confirmation, seal. Proof of identification, identification, student confirmation, guardian confirmation (protector confirmation at nursery school and child consignment center and delivery of child or infant), identity confirmation of elderly with dementia, school attendance book, identity verification at tax payment, driver's license Certificate, credential, bank card substitution, point card substitution, business card identity verification, vehicle driver verification and door opening / closing. Specifically, it will be described in the embodiment of the invention.

  The present invention relates to personal authentication and rights acquisition exercise by biometrics. Conventionally, personal authentication based on human characteristics and physiological characteristics is for identity verification. For example, when a credit card is used, a signature is obtained, personal authentication is performed by handwriting appraisal, and identity verification is performed to determine whether the user is a credit card owner. Recently, personal authentication means for determining human characteristics such as fingerprints, voices, and irises with a computer have been proposed in various forms. In both cases, however, identity verification was auxiliary. In contrast, systems such as the “cashless transaction system and program based on fingerprint authentication” mentioned in the prior art can purchase products without a credit card or cash, and have expanded the application of biometrics. Is. The present invention further expands the application of biometrics, and is a system for acquiring rights, exercising, and personal authentication using only biometrics. Since biometrics is used, there is an advantage that the right holder and the person to be authenticated can be authenticated and the right can be exercised as it is. Therefore, it has the effect that it is neither dropped nor forgotten, and the risk of forgery is very small.

  Since the commuter pass substitute system uses a palm shape instead of a commuter pass, the commuter pass is not dropped or forged. The problem of using a commuter pass by renting it to a third party who does not have the right to use has not been solved so far. On the other hand, in this system, there is no worry that the commuter pass is used by a third party in order to use the palm of the person who purchased the commuter pass. On the other hand, there is no trouble for the user to issue a commuter pass from the bag, and there is no negative aspect that the commuter pass cannot be used because the commuter pass is forgotten at home.

  Since the paypaid card substitution system is paid in advance, the provider has the advantage that there is no omission of payment, and the user (right acquisition executor) has the advantage of not losing the playpaid card. There is. The prepaid card is advantageous for both the provider and the user because it does not need to pay cash each time and does not require processing such as change. Conventional playpaid cards have the disadvantage that users lose or forget to use the card before spending all the money. Generally, it is said that about 10% of the sales amount is lost without 100% use of the prepaid card. That's why users were losing money. On the other hand, prepaid substitution by biometrics can use up all the rights.

  By using the membership card / membership substitution system of the present invention, there is a merit that the provider side can avoid counterfeiting and misuse due to “spoofing”, and the user can exercise his / her rights with only human measurement data. , It is very convenient and has the merit of avoiding theft and misuse.

  Since the telephone card substitution system can make a call only by voice, a simple and convenient system can be provided to the user. Further, as in the case of a play paid card, there is an advantage that the prepaid price can be fully used because it is not lost before all the card price is used. On the provider side, there is an advantage that the price can be received in advance. Further, in the case of adding to the call charge of the subscriber phone, since the call other than the person can be completely shut out, there is an advantage that troubles with the user can be avoided.

  The biometrics personal authentication system is basically the same as the conventional personal authentication system. However, in the present invention, it is reliable and simple for both the provider and the user by expanding it to individual fields. Provides various means of use. For example, age verification, election voters, registration book, resident confirmation, seal certification, identification card, student confirmation, guardian confirmation, school attendance book, identity verification at tax payment, etc. Since it can be excluded, it enables safe and reliable personal authentication and the enforcement of the rights associated therewith. The identity of a credential or business card can be stolen by a third party by imprinting human characteristics such as fingerprints on the certificate or business card, reading them with an anthropometric device, and checking them at the Authentication Management Center. Can be avoided. A driver's license not only prevents you from carrying a driver's license but also prevents counterfeit drivers' licenses. In substitution for a bank card, processing such as withdrawal and transfer can be performed at the same time as identity verification, and unauthorized deposit withdrawal due to bank card theft can be prevented. In the point card substitute, it is not necessary to issue a new card, and it is possible to prevent the accumulation and use of point cards of a person other than the principal. In the case of a point card issued at a store, a user often forgets the point card at home, and often misses the opportunity to buy goods and accumulate points. Such disadvantages can be avoided.

  When checking the driver and opening / closing the door of the car, the driver can open the car door even if the driver forgets the key to confirm the driver's identity at the authentication device installed in the car or the authentication management center through communication. . In addition, since the human characteristics are used to confirm the driver himself, it is possible to prevent unauthorized opening and closing of other people.

  In the case of identification of the elderly or delivery of an infant, identity verification using a name tag or mobile phone has been proposed. In the case of a mobile phone, there is a merit of knowing the current position of an elderly person or an infant in association with GPS, but it often goes out without having a mobile phone. In the present invention, the position cannot be confirmed, but since personal authentication is performed based on human characteristics, the person does not go out without having a certificate for confirming the identity like a name tag or a mobile phone. That is, according to the present invention, it is possible to surely confirm the identity of a person who does not know his / her name or residence such as an elderly person with dementia. Also, in the case of taking care of a child or a child of a guardian at a kindergarten or a nursery school, the relationship between the guardian and the child is surely established, and kidnapping that occurs when taking out from the facility can be prevented.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram of a biometrics right acquisition and exercise system. The main hardware of the management center 1 includes a management server 100 and a management database 110. Hereinafter, the management database is simply described as “management DB”. On the other hand, the main hardware of the right enforcement site 2 includes a terminal main body 210, a display 211, an input device 212 such as a keyboard and a mouse, a human body measuring device 213, and the like. These devices are collectively described as a terminal 200 with a human body measuring device or simply as a terminal 200. The exercise site is the place where the right holder exercises the rights, and sometimes also the place where the rights are acquired. The place of exercise and the place of acquisition of rights may be the same or different. In the case of a commuter pass system, the right acquisition place and the right exercise place are generally different.

  In order to acquire a right, first, the payment is made at the right exercise place 2, and the human body measurement data is input to the human body measurement device 213 of the terminal 200, and the human body characteristics of the right acquisition applicant are also included. : Payment amount, name, etc.) are added and transmitted to the management server 200 of the management center 1 via the communication line 9. The management server 100 registers the received data in the management DB 110 and transmits to the terminal that the right acquisition process has been completed. Thus, the person who wants to acquire the right becomes the right acquirer. The communication line uses a communication means such as a telephone line or the Internet.

  When the right acquirer exercises his / her right, when the same human body part as that registered in the human body measuring device 213 at the site 2 is input, the human body measurement data is transmitted to the management server 100. The management server 100 collates the transmitted human measurement data with the registered human measurement data in the management DB 110, and when the matching data is found, the management server reads the exercise limit data (generally the amount), and the terminal 200 Send to. The right acquirer can exercise the right within the limit of exercising rights by looking at the message on the terminal. At this time, the message displayed on the terminal may be a message transmitted from the management server, or may simply be received as a signal and converted into a message at the terminal.

  FIG. 2 is a system configuration diagram in which the biometrics rights acquisition and exercise system is applied to a railway agency commuter pass. Site 2 in FIG. 1 becomes a commuter pass issuing window in FIG. Here, the right acquisition applicant (user) writes the section (commuting, commuting section, etc.), period, address, name, age, etc. on a form and gives them to the staff. The clerk checks the contents and tells the amount. The user pays the amount and inputs the palm shape with the human body measuring device 213. Data such as palm data, address, name, and age are transmitted from the terminal 200 to the management server 100. Data other than the palm-shaped data is input by an input device 212 such as a keyboard. The management server checks the content of the received data, and if there is no error, registers the data in the management DB 110 and returns an acceptance message to the terminal. Since the message is displayed on the display 211 of the terminal, the attendant issues a receipt and a commuter pass. At the same time, the user is informed that the bill can be used as a commuter pass. This completes the acquisition of rights (buy commuter pass).

  When the user places his / her palm on the human body measuring device 313 of the ticket gate 300 installed at the ticket gate 3, the palm data is read. The ticket gate (the terminal (the terminal is not shown in the figure) when a terminal is connected between the ticket gate and the management server) adds location information and transmits it to the management server 100 through the communication line 9 together with the palm data. . The management server searches for the same palm data as the palm data received from the management DB 110. When matching data is found, the usage section and validity period are checked. Send a signal to the ticket gate. Upon receiving the passage permission signal, the ticket gate opens the door 314 so that the user can pass.

  In the case of using a commuter pass for transportation such as a bus, a terminal with an anthropometry device is installed in the bus in place of the ticket gate shown in FIG. And the palm-shaped data is transmitted from the intermediate terminal to the management server via the communication line 9.

  Next, a system in which the biometrics rights acquisition and exercise system is applied to membership cards, membership rights, and prepaid cards will be described. A palm shape, fingerprint, iris of eyes, voiceprint, etc. can be used as a human body measurement site, but the two easy to use human body sites will be the former. In the case of a membership card or membership right, additional information such as the name, address, date of birth, etc. of the right holder (user) is required. In the case of a prepaid card, only the normal price and human body measurement data are required. The site 2 shown in FIG. 1 is generally a right acquisition place and a right exercise place. Since the general usage method described above may be used, detailed description is omitted, but an example in the case of applying a prepaid card in a pachinko parlor will be described in an embodiment.

  Next, a system in which the biometrics rights acquisition and exercise system is applied to a telephone card will be described. A human body part used as a substitute for a telephone card is a voice or a voiceprint, but here a voice is used. Note that the difference between voice collation and voiceprint collation here refers to the case where speech recognition is performed using meaningful words in the case of speech, and voiceprint matching is performed by narrowing the collation data. This refers to the case of collating these words with only a voice print (voice waveform).

  FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of a voice telephone card substitution system. The public telephone 4 basically has the same structure as a normal public telephone currently used. The difference is that the telephone body 400 is provided with a bill insertion slot 440, a bill return slot 441, and special buttons 421, 422, and 423.

First, the right acquisition process will be described.
(1) When the user (the person who wants to acquire the right) removes the handset 410 and presses the card purchase button 421, the telephone body 400 displays a message "Please insert money" to the user by voice and display. Notify (voice on handset, text on display).
(2) The user inserts the banknote into the banknote slot 440. If there are coins (coins), they are inserted into the coin inlet 442.
(3) The telephone body 400 counts the amount of money inserted, and requests the user's confirmation by voice and display display of the message “The amount of money to be inserted is XX yen. If it is correct, press the confirmation button.”
(4) When the user presses the confirmation button 423, the main body 400 requests a message “Please enter the purchase amount” by voice and display.
(5) When the user inputs the desired purchase amount with the normal dial button 420 and presses the confirmation button, the main body further requests the message “Please pronounce your name and press the confirmation button” by voice and display. To do.
(6) When the user pronounces his / her name on the handset and presses the confirmation button, the desired purchase price and name are sent to the management server.
(7) The management server that has received the amount and name message checks the amount and recognizes the name. The voice-recognized name is converted into hiragana characters, and the received amount and hiragana characters are sent as a message to the telephone body 400.
(8) Upon receiving the message, the phone itself tells the user the desired purchase price and the hiragana name by voice and display, and further presses the confirmation button if it is OK. Inform the user through the display.
(9) When the user presses the confirmation button, a confirmation signal is sent to the management server.
(10) Upon receiving the confirmation signal, the management server registers the name (translated hiragana), voice (voice print), and purchase price in the management DB 110, and sends a “right acquisition processing complete” message to the phone body 400. To do.
(11) The telephone body that has received the message informs the user that the right acquisition has been completed.

The name pronounced by the user is A / D converted by the telephone body, and the voice recognition is performed by the management server. The record structure of the management DB under the management of the management server is
・ Name (Hiragana: character string)
・ Voiceprint data (data to be verified)
-Initial purchase amount-Current usage limit-History:
:
Consists of. Name is the key to data retrieval.

Processing when a user (right holder) makes a call is as follows.
(1) When the user picks up the handset 410 and presses the card use button 422, the telephone body 400 informs the user of the message “Please give your name and press the confirmation button” by voice and display 430 display.
(2) When the user changes his name and presses the confirmation button 423, the telephone body 400 transmits the name (voice data) to the management server 100.
(3) The management server that receives the name (voice data) performs voice recognition, converts the name (voice data) to a character string (Hiragana), searches the management DB 110 using the name as a key, and prints the voiceprint data of the detected record Are compared with the voice data transmitted, and if they match, a usage limit is added and transmitted to the telephone body.
(4) The phone body tells the user by voice and display that “the limit is xx yen and normal phone calls can be made.”
(5) When the user performs a normal dial operation (pressing the button 420), the user is connected to the call partner 401 via the exchange 1c.
(6) While the user is in a call, the telephone body manages the call time and the usage limit, and continues to display the latest usage limit on the display 430.
(7) When the user hangs up the telephone, the call time stops and the latest usage limit is displayed on the display for a certain period of time. At the same time, the limit amount is sent to the management server.
(8) The management server updates the “current usage limit” with the received usage limit.

In the above explanation, the explanation of the printer was omitted, but the printer was added to the phone body, and the usage limit was printed when the user acquired the right (at the time of card purchase) or when the right was exercised. There is also a way to inform the person. Moreover, although the above example is an example of acquiring a right by a public telephone, a method of acquiring a right by a telephone station is also possible. In that case, the site 2 in FIG. In this case, in addition to acquiring the right by cash payment, a postpayment by a subscriber telephone (payment added to the telephone bill) can be used. In order to enable advance payment and post-payment, the record structure of the management DB is
・ Name ・ ・ ・ ・ Hiragana: Character string ・ Voiceprint data ・ ・ ・ ・ Data to be verified ・ Payment method ・ ・ ・ ・ 0: Advance payment, 1: Postpayment ・ Initial purchase amount ・ Current limit amount ・ History:
:
And For postpay (payment method = 1), the initial purchase amount and the current usage limit are ignored during a call.

  The system configuration of FIG. 1 can be used as it is also in a personal authentication system (biometrics personal authentication system) that replaces a conventional certificate or seal for identity verification by biometrics. In order to distinguish from the right acquisition and exercise system, hereinafter, the management server 100 is referred to as an authentication management server, and the management DB 110 is referred to as an authentication management DB. When using this system, it is necessary to register human measurement data of a person to be authenticated (an individual who requires authentication) in advance. This is also the same as the rights acquisition exercise system.

  Age authentication is a system for authenticating the age of an individual. Anthropometric data (usually using a palm or fingerprint) and the date of birth of an individual are registered in the authentication management database in advance, and movie sites and adult sites on the Internet When accessing, the anthropometric data is input to confirm the age of the person. The voter verifies the identity at the time of the election, and it is a method in which an anthropometric data is used to complete what is currently confirmed by the staff in the ballot and the ballot and the vote voted by the voter. In this method, electronic voting via the Internet is also possible. In that case, the personal authentication is performed by causing the CCD camera to read human body measurement data such as a palm shape or a fingerprint from the terminal. Of course, it is necessary to have a function of checking the identity of human body measurement data and the presence / absence of duplicate voting. A seal stamp is used in the seal certificate, but human measurement data is used instead of the seal stamp in the present invention. As for the registry, by checking the fingerprint against the authentication management DB of the authentication management center by pressing the fingerprint on the registry book, it is confirmed whether it is official or not. If it is counterfeited, problems such as different contents or not registered fingerprints occur. The basic confirmation method for a credential is the same as that for a register. Identification of the person at the time of tax payment, school attendance book, and confirmation of the student are to confirm the person by anthropometric data, and generally use a palm or fingerprint. Bank card substitution allows bank deposits to be withdrawn and transferred using anthropometric data alone. The point card substitute is a system that performs point processing for reading human body measurement data instead of a paper card (a card that pushes a stamp) or a magnetic card currently issued by a store. The driver's license is a system that allows the person himself / herself to be confirmed by reading the human body measurement data even when the driver's license is not carried. Registration / update of human measurement data is performed when a license is obtained or when a license is renewed. The guardian confirmation is a system that is applied in kindergartens and nursery schools, and is a system in which no child other than a guardian who has registered anthropometric data as a guardian can accept a child or an infant.

Give an example of prepaid card substitution by fingerprint in pachinko parlor. FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram of a prepaid card substitution system using fingerprints. The procedure for acquiring rights is as follows.
(1) The user (player) inserts a bill into the slot 540 in order to acquire the right.
(2) The card purchase terminal 5 with the fingerprint reading device turns on the lamp of the purchase price button 520 below according to the inserted money.
・ When 1000 yen is inserted, the lamp of the 1000 yen button 520 lights.
・ When you input more than 3,000 yen, the lamps of the 3,000 yen and 1,000 yen buttons light up.
・ Thousand-yen, 3,000-yen, and 5,000-yen button lamps are lit when 5000 yen or more is inserted.
・ When purchasing 10,000 yen, all purchase amount buttons 520 are lit.
Further, the display unit 510 displays the input amount and the message “Please select the purchase amount”.
(3) The user presses the desired purchase amount button.
(4) The terminal 5 displays a message “Please touch the thumb rest of your left hand”.
(5) The user touches his / her thumb with the finger rest (fingerprint reading unit 530).
(6) The terminal transmits the fingerprint data and purchase price data read from the fingerprint reading unit to the management server 100 via the communication line 9.
(7) The management server that has received the data registers the fingerprint and the purchase price in the management DB 110. Management DB records
・ Fingerprint data (reference fingerprint data)
・ Initial purchase amount ・ Date of purchase ・ Remaining amount (balance)
・ History ・ It consists of other items. The initial value of the remaining amount is set to the same value as the initial purchase amount. The management server transmits to the terminal 5 that the data has been received.
(8) The terminal displays the message “XX circle can be used. Processing completed” on the display unit 510, and simultaneously prints the receipt 551 and discharges it from the print paper discharge port 550. When there is change, the change is discharged from the return port 541.
(9) The user receives a receipt and change.

Thus, the right to use the fingerprint on the prepaid card has been acquired. Use the following procedure when exercising this.
(1) The pachinko machine 6 and the terminal 7 with the fingerprint reader are interlocked, and a rental ball of 500 yen is provided, and the rental ball is automatically discharged to the stock dish 610. First, the user (player = right holder) presses the lending button 720 and touches the registered finger (usually the left thumb) against the fingerprint reading unit 730 to read the fingerprint.
(2) The fingerprint data read by the terminal 7 is transmitted to the management server 100 via the communication line 9.
(3) The management server collates the received fingerprint data with the collation source fingerprint data of the management DB 110. When matching data is detected, the remaining amount (amount in units of 500 yen) is read, and when the remaining amount remains, a lending permission signal is transmitted to the terminal 7.
(4) Upon receiving the lending permission signal, the fingerprint reading apparatus discharges a pachinko ball for 500 yen to the stock plate 610 of the pachinko machine 6, and at the same time transmits a lending completion signal to the management server.
(5) The management server subtracts 500 from the remaining amount in the management DB and updates the remaining amount item as a new remaining amount. Further, the management server transmits the updated remaining amount to the fingerprint reader.
(6) The fingerprint reader that has received the remaining amount displays the remaining amount on the display unit 710.
(7) When the user turns the handle 620 to the right, the ball is launched on the game surface and a pachinko game can be performed.

  Note that the fingerprint reading operation is performed after the lending button 720 is pressed, because the fingerprint reading unit (device) has time to start reading, and the management acquirer accidentally touches the fingerprint reading unit 730. This is to prevent the lending of balls. If the fingerprint reading is not performed within 10 seconds after the lending button is pressed, the purchase operation is cleared (the lending operation cannot be performed unless the lending button is pressed again).

  Next, the use of a driver's license substitute system will be explained. Of course, this system also issues a driver's license as before. However, it is a system that also registers anthropometric data at the same time. Police officers are required to show the driver's license to the driver and confirm the driver's license. Penalties apply if you do not carry a driver's license, but even if you do not carry a driver's license under the present invention, you can confirm whether you are a driver's license by checking your identity with registered human measurement data It can be done. In this case, the human body measurement data is limited to fingerprints.

FIG. 5 shows a system configuration when a police officer who is traveling checks the driver's license. The processing procedure is as follows.
(1) When the police officer carries the portable information terminal 8 with the fingerprint reader and checks the driver's license, first, the fingerprint of the driver is read by the fingerprint reader 810.
(2) The portable information terminal 8 transmits the read fingerprint data to the relay terminal 8i via the radio wave 9r. The relay terminal further transmits to the authentication management server 100 via the communication line 9.
(3) The authentication management server compares the fingerprint data registered in the authentication management DB 110 with the received fingerprint data, and if there is matching data, the related data (face photo, name, date of birth, license acquisition) Time, valid period, etc.) and send it to the relay terminal.
(4) The relay terminal transmits related data to the portable information terminal via the wireless 9r.
(5) The related data transmitted from the portable information terminal is displayed on the display unit 820 of the portable information terminal. Basically, if it is found that matching data is registered in the authentication management DB, it is treated as a license carrier. When more detailed information is desired (when there is information to be confirmed), the police officer can listen to the driver's age and name and check the information against the information displayed on the display.

  In the above example, a driver who does not have a driver's license has been verified (check for the presence of a license holder). However, even with a driver's license, a counterfeit license has often been used recently. . Even in such a case, the right or wrong of the driver's license can be determined by reading the fingerprint and confirming whether it is registered in the authentication management DB.

  Next, the driver confirmation and door opening / closing system of the car will be described. There are two ways to do this. One is by stand-alone method and the other is by communication. First, in the former case, a personal authentication device including a human body measurement reading device and a human body measurement data collating function is mounted on a car. The personal authentication device is linked to the door opening / closing control device, and the data read by the human body measurement reading device is collated with the human body measurement data by the personal authentication device installed in the car. A door lock release command is issued to the device to release the door lock. Of course, the human body measurement data of the driver needs to be registered in advance in the personal authentication device installed in the vehicle. When using communication, the personal authentication device portion functions as a terminal, and human body measurement data is collated at the authentication management center. Specifically, this will be described below.

  FIG. 6 is a diagram showing the door c10 and the human body measurement reading device c30, and FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the terminal c01 and the door opening / closing control device c03 installed in the automobile c. Face data is used as human measurement data. The human body measurement reading device c30 is a CCD camera. The shutter c31 is normally lowered with a spring mechanism, but when the shutter is moved up, the CCD camera is exposed and the operation switch is turned on to take a picture of the driver's face. The face photograph is sent to the terminal c01 and further sent to the authentication management server 100 of the authentication management center 1 by the wireless 9r. The authentication management server reads the collation source face data in the authentication management DB 110, collates it with the transmitted face data, and returns the collation result to the terminal. As a result of the verification, if the user is authenticated, the terminal issues a door lock release command to the door opening / closing control device c03, and the door lock is released by the control device. After this, if the driver pulls the handle c20 forward, the door c20 opens.

  In the above, driver confirmation is performed with a face shape, but it can also be performed with voice. In the case of speech, speech recognition is also performed, and keyword recognition is also possible. In this case, c30 is a microphone, and the authentication management server 100 of the management center 1 performs both voiceprint matching and voice recognition. In voiceprint matching, since voice pattern recognition is performed, it is determined whether the driver's real voice is registered. On the other hand, what is spoken is important in speech recognition. That is, keyword input by voice and keyword check by the authentication device are performed. For example, when “open goma” is used as a keyword (when registered), the driver must pronounce “open goma” from the microphone c30. With this double check, stricter personal authentication can be performed. In voice recognition, keywords can be changed from time to time, and double or triple security management is possible. In the case of performing personal authentication using a plurality of different human characteristics such as a face shape and a voice print, a fingerprint and a voice print, the human body measurement reading device c30 in FIGS. 6 and 7 is a CCD camera and a microphone or a fingerprint reading device. And several different input devices like microphones.
