Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To perform verification of biometrics data in a short period, which is not necessary to deliberately take out a medium recording authentication data and reduce a risk of losing the medium. <P>SOLUTION: When reading an iris 118 as biometrics data, a radio IC chip 117 recording a non-biometrics ID is stuck on a bridge of glasses 119. Thus, when reading the iris 118 with a biometrics data reading section 115 of a sensor 102, a non-biometrics ID is simultaneously read out from the radio IC chip 117 by a non-biometrics ID reading section 114, and an input action as a user can be settled at a time. The comparison of the biometrics data is performed with a one-to-one correspondence in a short period so that the verification of the biometrics data is carried out when the non-biometrics ID is coincided with each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI

Description

  The present invention relates to an authentication apparatus that performs authentication using both a non-biometric ID and biometric data, and an authentication method thereof.

  Currently, in order to improve the security of authentication, there is a system that uses the authentication result of biometric data such as fingerprint and iris to unlock the lock. With these technologies, the key is physically moved to the keyhole when unlocking or locking. It is possible to unlock or lock without inserting, and convenience is improved. In addition, when there are a plurality of users, biometrics data authentication is the authentication of the person and the plurality of users, and is generally said to take time. For this reason, by storing the user's biometric data in a medium such as an IC card in advance, inputting the biometric data in the IC card to the device at the time of unlocking, and collating with the user's biometric data, A system that shortens the authentication time has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

The biometric data is stored in the wireless IC card, and the authentication device performs authentication based on the biometric data input to the portable wireless terminal and the biometric data stored in the IC card. Also, a system has been proposed that can perform the identity verification operation even when the wireless IC card storing biometric data is stored in a wallet or bag, and reduces the user's operation (for example, see Patent Document 2). . Furthermore, there is also known an apparatus that reduces the input load on the user while maintaining high security by comparing voiceprint information when the user utters his / her ID with voiceprint information registered in advance. (For example, see Patent Document 3).
Japanese Patent No. 2904604 (page 2-3, FIG. 1) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2003-85498 (pages 12-13, FIG. 2) Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2002-24182 (page 4-6, FIG. 1)

  However, in a system that uses a medium such as an IC card to shorten the time for biometric authentication as in the prior art, the act of removing the medium itself from the bag or pocket and inputting it to the machine is required. It is. In addition, when the medium is lost, there is a problem that a situation in which the entire system service cannot be used occurs. Also, in systems where the IC card data can be communicated wirelessly and the IC card itself does not need to be taken out of the wallet or bag, the IC card must always be carried. If you leave it behind, there is a problem that you cannot fully enjoy the services of the system. Furthermore, when the user speaks his / her own ID, the ID is known to others, which causes a security problem.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems. In a system for performing authentication using biometric data, the recording medium on which the authentication data is recorded is not taken out, and the recording medium is carried. It is an object of the present invention to provide an authentication apparatus and method that can collate biometric data in a short time with less chance of losing a recording medium without being aware of this.

The communication block 112 uses the non-biometric ID reading unit 114 via the non-biometric ID reading interface 106 in response to the request of “user's non-biometric ID” from the control block 111. The biometric ID is acquired and a response to the control block 111 is performed. In response to a request for “user biometric data” from the control block 111, the communication block 112 uses the biometric data reading unit 115 via the biometric data reading interface 107, and uses the user's biometric data. And a response to the control block 111 is made. Further, the communication block 112 responds to the request of “non-biometric ID or biometric data on the database” from the control block 111 via the external communication interface 109 and sends the non-biometric ID or biometric data from the database 103. And a response to the control block 111 is made. Further, the communication block 112 detects that the user tries to input at least one of the non-biometric ID and the biometric data in the human sensor 116 via the human sensor interface 108, and displays the detection result. This is transmitted to the control block 111.

  FIG. 2 shows a link table 103 a between the non-biometric ID 201 and the biometric ID 202 in the database 103. The non-biometric IDs 201 are sequentially arranged, and one of the non-biometric IDs 201 is linked to at least one or more biometric IDs 202 so that it can be easily understood which biometric ID is linked. The non-biometric ID can be used as an index of the biometric ID to be authenticated.

  FIG. 3 shows a link table 103b of biometric ID 301 and biometric data 302 in the database 103. The biometric ID 301 is linked to the biometric data 302 by 1: 1. The biometric data of the user read by the biometric data reading unit 115 is converted into a biometric ID 301 by the link table 103b, and is associated with a non-biometric ID by the link table 103a of FIG.

  In the link table 103b, for each biometric ID 301 and biometric data 302, the related biometric ID is linked to one or more non-biometric IDs, or no non-biometric ID is included. A flag 303 is provided for indicating whether the link is made. When the non-biometric ID read from the recording medium is an unregistered flag that is not registered in the database 103, the flag 303 is used in the 1: n biometric data collation process (step S718) in FIG. used.

The wireless IC chip 117 is used as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), and may be attached to a lens frame, a nose pad, a vine or the like of the glasses 119, or may be embedded in these. 4B, when the iris 118 is read by the biometric data reading unit 115 of the sensor unit 102, the non-biometric ID is simultaneously read from the wireless IC chip 117 by the non-biometric ID reading unit 114. Can be read. Note that the wireless IC chip 117 is preferably a passive type that does not incorporate a power supply, because it is smaller and lighter than an active type that incorporates a power supply. The distance between the wireless IC chip 117 and the non-biometric ID reading unit 114 ranges from several millimeters to several centimeters depending on the frequency, output, antenna, and the like of the radio wave used. In addition to 119, the wireless IC chip 117 can be attached to an earring near the iris 118 or the like.

  FIG. 5A shows an example in which a wireless IC chip 117, which is a wireless medium in which a non-biometric ID is recorded, is attached to the nail 121 when a fingerprint 120 or a finger vein pattern is read as biometric data in this embodiment. Is shown. The wireless IC chip 117 may be inserted into a hole formed by cutting the nail 121 and sealed with an adhesive or the like, or an nail to which the wireless IC chip 117 is bonded may be used. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5B, when the biometric data reading unit 115 of the sensor unit 102 reads the fingerprint 120 or the finger vein pattern, the non-biometric ID reading unit 114 detects the non-biometric from the wireless IC chip 117. Metric ID can be read simultaneously. Note that the wireless IC chip 117 can be attached to a finger or a wristband near the finger vein pattern, in addition to the nail 121 that is the closest distance of the fingerprint 120 or finger vein pattern.

(Example 8)
Next, the operation procedure of the eighth embodiment will be described. The only difference between the eighth embodiment and the fourth embodiment is whether or not the user's non-biometric ID is registered in the database 103. Both are registered and unregistered non-biometrics from the wireless IC chip 117. Both IDs are not read.
Procedure 1) The procedure is the same as procedure 1 to procedure 2 (step S701 to step S716) of the fourth embodiment.
Procedure 2) The procedure is the same as procedure 3 to procedure 5 (step S716 to step S719) of the third embodiment.
Procedure 3) In step S719, if collation coincides, the process proceeds to step S712, and if collation does not coincide, the process proceeds to step S720. In the eighth embodiment, the process proceeds to step S712.
Procedure 4) In step S712, collation OK output is performed, and the process proceeds to step S713.
Procedure 5) In step S713, in the eighth embodiment, since an unregistered (new) non-biometric ID cannot be read, the processing is ended as it is.

  As described above, in the eight embodiments of the present invention, the case where the wireless chip is used as the medium for recording the non-biometric ID has been described as an example. However, the medium for recording the non-biometric ID is not limited to the wireless medium. The non-biometric ID may be recorded by display information such as a barcode or a two-dimensional barcode. In this case, the non-biometrics stored in the medium is acquired by acquiring the display information with an optical scanner or a camera. The ID can be matched with a non-biometric ID in the database.

  As described above, the authentication apparatus and method according to the present invention requires only one input as a user, and does not bother to take out the recording medium on which the non-biometric ID is recorded at the time of input. It has the effect of being able to authenticate in a short time without having the consciousness of carrying the recording medium, and having little chance of losing the recording medium, and using both non-biometric ID and biometric data It is useful as an authentication device and method for authentication, and can be applied to cash dispensers, automatic cash dispensers, entrance / exit management to buildings and facilities, vehicle entry control, engine start control, etc. .
