Description

  The present invention relates to a system and apparatus for registering biological information.

  Techniques such as fingerprint authentication, finger vein authentication, and palm vein authentication have been developed as information for verifying identity at the time of transactions such as opening an account at a financial institution or cash transfer. In recent years, crimes have been increasing in financial institutions due to false notification of specific matters and spoofing of nominees. In response, the Identity Verification Act was enforced, and identity verification using identity verification materials was required when opening an account.

  Patent Document 1 describes a personal authentication device and method using finger vein information. This technique prevents the insertion of a user who is not familiar with the apparatus or the insertion of a fake finger of a malicious user. Each time a user presents a finger for registration, pattern matching is performed with the finger vein pattern in the first or past trial, and the degree of pattern variation is displayed. The user views such history information. While trying many times, visually understand the variation of finger insertion depending on how to put the finger. As a result, the user's proficiency level can be improved and highly reliable registration data can be acquired.

JP 2005-71118 A

  In Patent Document 1, only taking a number of images for one finger is considered. Multi-finger authentication is desirable for dealing with injuries and improving security, but it has not been considered so far. In addition, in the case of registering a plurality of pieces, the registration may be complicated. However, the point of making the registration of a plurality of pieces simple and reliable is not considered at all.

  In recent years, financial institutions have been obliged to present identification documents when registering personal information in an account to prevent crime. However, the technique of Patent Document 1 does not consider that point. In addition, no consideration is given to preventing omission of registration of important information such as identity verification materials, and no consideration is given to problems when the operator operates the mouse and keyboard together.

  Accordingly, one object of the present invention is to facilitate registration of data requiring security or prevent omission of registration.

  In order to solve the above problems, for example, in a biometric information registration system for registering biometric information, a biometric information acquisition unit that acquires biometric information, a display unit that displays instructions to the operator, and a selection input from the operator A receiving unit and a storage unit for storing presence / absence of input of essential information different from biometric information, the input unit has a first key, and the control unit is selectively input with the first key. Based on this detection, it is determined whether or not the input of essential information is recorded in the storage unit, and a transition screen is determined based on the determination.

  Also, for example, in a biometric information registration system for registering biometric information, the number of biometric information acquisition devices that acquire biometric information and the number of authentication test samples that count the number of fingers for which biometric information acquired by the biometric information acquisition device has been authenticated A means is provided that includes a counter and a control unit that repeats the finger authentication test until the number of fingers subjected to the authentication test counted by the authentication test finger number counter reaches the first number.

  Registration of data requiring security can be made easily or without error.

  Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The present invention is not limited to the present embodiment.

  An embodiment will be described in which the person in charge in charge performs an operation of registering the biometric information of the registrant in the server.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an embodiment of a biometric information registration system. The biometric information registration system of the present embodiment includes a finger vein registration device 11 that reads finger vein information, a terminal device 21 that includes a control unit 22 that controls biometric information registration authentication processing, and a server 31 that stores various information. Are connected by a communication unit to constitute one system. The finger vein registration device 11 includes a finger vein reader 12 that reads finger vein information and a communication unit 13 that transmits and receives data. The terminal device 21 (subordinate device) includes a control unit 22 that controls various processes such as registration and authentication, a registration processing program 23 used to execute the registration process, and an authentication processing program 24 used to execute the authentication process. A storage unit 25 such as an HDD or a semiconductor memory for storing information, an input unit 26 for receiving input from the contact person, a display unit 27 for displaying guidance to the contact person and the input contents, and data transmission / reception The communication part 28 which performs is provided. The server 31 (host device) includes a control unit 32 that controls various processes such as information retrieval, a storage unit 33 such as an HDD or a semiconductor memory that stores information, and a communication unit 34 that transmits and receives data. . The input unit 26 is a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel or the like including a numeric keypad, and is operated by the mouse and numeric keys in this embodiment. The biometric information obtained by the finger vein registration device 11 is stored in the server 31 via the communication units 13, 28 and 34. Since the main storage unit is provided in the server 31, it is not necessary to store biometric information in the finger vein registration device 11 or the terminal device 21 installed in the store, and even if the finger vein registration device 11 or the terminal device 21 is stolen. Since biometric information is not stolen, there is an advantage in terms of security, and a device installed in a store can be downsized. Note that this biometric information registration system can cope with registration of various biometric information such as fingerprints, palm veins, faces, and irises in addition to finger veins.

  FIG. 2 is an example of the registrant information table 35 stored in the storage unit 33 of the server 31. In the biometric information registration system of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, a registrant information table for account number, person classification, person number, name, presence / absence of a seal, presence / absence of a driver's license, presence / absence of a passport, presence / absence of an insurance card, etc. As 35, information is stored in the storage unit 33 of the server 31. Multiple accounts can be registered per account (person and agent), and the person classification is used to distinguish between the person and the agent. In addition, arbitrary divisions such as guardians can be added. The person number is used for assigning a number for each individual when there are a plurality of agents. For example, different numbers are assigned to the agents such as the number 1 of the principal, the number 1 of the agent, the number 2 of the agent, and so on. With such a table configuration, when a person other than the person (account holder) who has registered biometric information in the account performs authentication, the person classification and person number are set in detail, so the collation is performed at the time of collation. The number of data to be reduced can be further reduced (to one).

  FIG. 3 shows an example of the biological information table 36 stored in the storage unit 33 of the server 31. In the biometric information system of the present embodiment, information is stored in the storage unit 33 of the server 31 as a biometric information table 36 for the account number, person classification, person number, number of registered designations, and biometric data as shown in FIG. The total number of fingers that can be registered is the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger of the left and right hands. Therefore, up to six pieces of biometric data can be registered for one person. In the case of information with only one finger, a situation may occur in which the information cannot be read due to injury or the like. The risk can be avoided by registering information for multiple fingers on the left and right.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 27 of the terminal device 21 in which G01 to G10 are displayed in order. 4 to 6 are flowchart examples when the control unit 22 of the terminal device 21 executes the registration processing program 23. Hereinafter, FIG. 7 will be described together with FIGS.

  The terminal device 21 displays a menu screen (screen for guiding selection of processing such as authentication, registration, change, and termination) on the display unit 27, and accepts an operation of the person in charge of the window through the input unit 26. When execution of the registration process is selected, the registration process program 23 is activated, and a status inquiry screen (G01 in FIG. 7) is displayed on the display unit 27 (step 101). The screen is stored in the storage unit 25 (or 33). The situation inquiry screen (G01 in FIG. 7) is a screen for collating the account number with the name. In the screen, the account number field for inputting / outputting the account number used in the financial institution, the name field for inputting / outputting the name of the account holder and his / her agent, etc., and the person and the agent explained in FIG. There are a person classification field for inputting / outputting a person classification to be distinguished, a person number field for outputting a person number individually assigned to the principal and the agent described in FIG. 2, an “input complete” button, and a “cancel” button. It is also possible to accept pressing of the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed, and pressing the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed is regarded as the same operation as the “input completion” button. The button in the screen is selected by detecting a mouse click, and this operation is called pressing. Pressing the “Enter” key literally indicates pressing the “Enter” key on the numeric keypad. However, it is not limited to “Enter”, and may be a predetermined key on the keyboard or a predetermined key (button) on the screen. In addition, it is also referred to as selection input instead of pressing. In this screen, it is not possible to input in the person classification field and the person number field. This is because when the control unit 32 of the server 21 searches the registrant table 35 of the storage unit 33 for a name search as a keyword by adding a person classification and a person number in addition to the account number, the specified person classification and person number are This is in order to avoid a case where the name of the account number which is different (only the person is registered) is not searched. Here, all the names corresponding to the account numbers are displayed, and the input of the person classification is accepted on a later screen.

  Next, the input unit 26 accepts input of an account number in the account number input field of the status inquiry screen (G01 in FIG. 7) (step 102). Here, when the “cancel” button is pressed (step 103), the menu screen is displayed again (step 104). On the other hand, when the “input complete” button is pressed (step 105), the account number is transmitted from the terminal device 21 to the server 31 via the communication units 28 and 34.

  The control unit 32 of the server 31 searches whether there is a registrant name corresponding to the account number transmitted to the registrant information table 35 stored in the storage unit 33 (step 106). The registrant information of the person classification, person number, and name corresponding to the account number is transmitted to the terminal device 21 via the communication units 28 and 34 (step 107). The terminal device 21 receives the registrant information via the communication units 28 and 34, and outputs one or a plurality of names corresponding to the account number to the name field of the status inquiry screen (G02 in FIG. 7) (step S21). 108). For example, when only the account holder is registered in the account number in the registrant information table 35, one name is displayed, and when two or more persons such as the account holder and the agent are registered. Display multiple names. The situation inquiry screen (GO2 in FIG. 7) is a screen that displays the name corresponding to the account number obtained as a result of searching by the server 31 and accepts the input of the person number classification. The screen includes an account number field, a name field, a person classification field, a person number field, an “input complete” button, and a “cancel” button. It is also possible to accept pressing of the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed, and pressing the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed is regarded as the same operation as the “input completion” button. In this screen, it is not possible to enter the person number field. This is because the person number is automatically assigned at the time of registration and is used for the first time to specify the person at the time of authentication.

  Next, the input unit 26 receives the input of the person classification corresponding to the relationship with the account holder in the person classification column of the situation inquiry screen (GO2 in FIG. 7) (step 109). The control unit 22 of the terminal device 21 selects a name that matches the input person classification from the names corresponding to the account numbers and displays them in the person classification column of the status inquiry screen (GO2 in FIG. 7) (step 110). . Here, when the “cancel” button is pressed, the menu screen is displayed again (step 111). On the other hand, when the “input complete” button is pressed (step 112), a registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7) is displayed on the display unit 27 (step 113). The registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7) is a screen for accepting selection of a finger to be registered. In the screen, an account number field, a finger selection field, an operation guidance display field for selecting a finger ("Please select a finger" is displayed in FIG. 7), an "information input" button, There are an “input complete” button, a “return to menu” button, and a non-input / entered display of the identity verification material (non-input display in FIG. 7). It is also possible to accept pressing of the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed, but pressing the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed is different from other screens as described later. Will be different. In the account number column, the input value of the status inquiry screen (G02 in FIG. 7) is taken over. In addition, although an identity verification material is demonstrated and demonstrated, the screen which inputs other information (For example, memorandum confirmation input regarding registration and handling of biometric information and personal information, etc.) may be used. Such information and identification information input information are collectively referred to as essential information.

  However, if there is no registrant corresponding to the account number transmitted to the registrant information table as a result of the search in step 105, a message indicating that there is no registrant name in the account is displayed (step 114). Thereafter, since the input classification is set to 1 (step 115) so that only the person is registered, the person confirmation material information input screen (G04 in FIG. 7) is displayed, and the biometric information registration of only the person is accepted (step 116). The personal identification material information input screen (G04 in FIG. 7) is a screen that accepts input of presence / absence of personal identification material information presentation. The screen includes a name field, a seal presence / absence field, a driver's license presence / absence field, other fields, a registered number field, an error / confirmation content field, an “input complete” button, and a “cancel” button. It is also possible to accept pressing of the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed, and pressing the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed is regarded as the same operation as the “input completion” button. In addition, although G04 was illustrated as a window displayed overlapping with G03 separately, it is not restricted to this, For example, it may be displayed along with G03 and may not be a window. Further, it may be displayed integrally with G03.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart example when the control unit 22 of the terminal device 21 executes the registration process. Based on this, an operation for inputting personal identification material information will be described. In the biometric information registration system of the present embodiment, the personal identification material information is input before the finger is read. If you read your finger first and find that there is no identity verification material, you may be dissatisfied by the registrant that you could not register but only biometric information was taken. There's a problem. There is also a concern that the time taken to read a finger may be wasted. Such a system can be prevented beforehand by using a system such as this embodiment. On the registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7), the next person in charge is to press the “information input” button, “input complete” button, “Enter” key, and “return to menu” button. There are four options. The operation of pressing the “Enter” key included in the numeric keypad can be performed more quickly than the operation of pressing various buttons in the screen where the mouse is moved to the desired button area and clicked.

  (A) When the “information input” button is pressed on the registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7), an identity verification material information input screen (G04 in FIG. 7) is newly displayed (step 201). The person in charge of the window accepts input such as the presence / absence of the seal, the presence / absence of the driver's license, the presence / absence of the passport, the presence / absence of the insurance card, etc., from the input unit 26 based on the identity confirmation data brought by the customer (step 202). Thus, security can be improved by requesting the presentation of identification information at the time of biometric information registration. The identity verification material information input by the input unit 26 is stored in the registrant information table 35 of the server 31 shown in FIG. 2 via the communication units 28 and 34 (may be temporarily stored in the storage unit 25). ). Here, when the “cancel” button is pressed, the screen returns to the identification information information input screen (G04 in FIG. 7) (step 203). On the other hand, when the “input complete” button is pressed (step 204), the control unit 22 checks the registrant information table 35 or the storage unit 25 to determine whether all the personal identification material information inputs have been input (step 205). If not, a message to the effect that the personal identification material information has not been entered is displayed on the display unit 27, and the input of the personal identification material information is accepted again (step 206). Here, if all the identity verification material information has been input, the display next to the “information input” button on the registration condition input screen is changed from “not input” to “entered”, and the registration condition input screen (FIG. 7) is displayed. G05) is displayed (step 207). This uninput / input completed display is convenient for the person in charge of the window because the input status of the personal identification material can be confirmed. The registration condition input screen (G05 in FIG. 7) is a screen for accepting reading of a finger. In the screen, an account number field, a finger selection field, an operation guidance display field (in FIG. 7, “Please set the middle finger of your right hand” is displayed), a finger reading count display field (in FIG. 7, “ "Reading is 1/3"), "Information input" button, "Reading start" button, "Suspend" button, identity confirmation data not entered / entered display (Fig. 7 input completed display) ) However, when G05 is displayed for the first time, “Please select your finger.” Is displayed in the operation guidance display field, and the reading count display field is blank. It is also possible to accept pressing of the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed, and pressing the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed is regarded as the same operation as the “authentication test” button. By displaying the operation guidance, it is possible to easily perform a complicated operation when registering a plurality of fingers. In addition, the input value of the registration condition input screen (G03 in FIG. 7) is taken over in the account number column and the finger selection column.

  (A) On the registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7), if the “input complete” button is pressed, whether or not all the personal identification material information has been entered (identification confirmation information in the registrant information table 35 or the storage unit 25) Whether or not the document information “present” is stored) is confirmed, and if it is not input, the registration condition input screen (G03 in FIG. 7) is displayed again (step 209). Here, it is preferable to display a warning message indicating that the personal identification material information is not entered or that the personal identification material is urged to be entered. Further, G04 may be displayed. On the other hand, if it is input, the process proceeds to the finger reading process, and a registration condition input screen (G05 in FIG. 7) is displayed on the display unit 27 (step 210). The screen that is displayed after the button or key is pressed is referred to as a transition screen (G05 displayed after the button is pressed in G03, as well as G03 that is displayed again is referred to as a transition screen).

  (C) On the registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7), when the “Enter” key is pressed, the control unit 22 of the terminal device 21 stores the identification information information “present” in the storage unit 25 or the registrant information table 35. ”Is stored, that is, whether the input of the personal identification material information has been completed. If the input has not been completed, the personal identification material information input screen is displayed (step 208). Here, it is preferable to display a warning message indicating that the personal identification material information is not entered or that the personal identification material is urged to be entered. Thus, even if the person in charge of the window erroneously presses the “Enter” key on the registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7), the registration condition screen (G05 in FIG. 7) is not advanced. In other words, the mistake of having pressed the “Enter” key by mistake without the intention of the person in charge of the counter, or misunderstanding that the identification information has been entered even though the identification information has not been entered. ”Key can be prevented from being missed. On the other hand, if the input has been completed, a finger reading screen is displayed (step 210). Thus, the user can quickly advance to the next operation screen by a simple operation of pressing the “Enter” key of the numeric keypad without taking the trouble of moving and pressing the cursor to the “input completion” button.

  (D) On the registrant input screen (G03 in FIG. 7), when the “return to menu” button is pressed, the menu screen is displayed. (Step 104).

  A finger reading process will be described. On the registration condition input screen (G05 in FIG. 7), the selection of one finger is received from the displayed plurality of selectable candidates (step 211). The input information is stored in the biological information table 36 shown in FIG. 3 (may be temporarily stored in the storage unit 25). In the description of the registration condition input screen (G05 in FIG. 7), the finger selection is accepted by inputting “1” in the finger selection field of the finger to be registered. However, instead of such an input format using a numeric keypad, an input format using a mouse using radio buttons may be used. For example, when the selection of the middle finger of the right hand is accepted, the message “Please set the middle finger of the right hand” (operation guidance display field) and the message “Reading is 1/3” (finger Read count display column). The number of readings display column indicates the number of readings for the finger to be set. When the “reading start” button is pressed after the finger to be registered is set on the finger vein reader 12 (step 212), the finger vein information is read by the finger vein reader 12, and a registration condition input screen (G06 in FIG. 7). Is displayed (step 213). The registration condition input screen (G06 in FIG. 7) is a screen indicating that finger vein information is being read. In the screen, there are an account number field, a finger selection field, a current status display field (shown as “Reading” in FIG. 7), and a “Cancel” button.

  The finger vein registration device 11 transmits the read finger vein information to the terminal device 21 via the communication units 13 and 28. The terminal device 21 receives the finger vein information via the communication units 13 and 28 and stores it in the storage unit 25. Next, the finger reading counter of the control unit 22 (indicating that the number of times is counted (counting up / down, etc.) in the internal memory of the control unit 22 or the storage unit 25 by the program executed by the control unit 22 is the same for other counters) ) Counts the number of times the finger has been read (step 214), and if the prescribed number of times of finger reading has not been completed, a message is displayed on the display unit 27 indicating that the finger has not been read the prescribed number of times. When the “reading start” button is pressed again, the finger vein information is read again by the finger vein reader 12 (step 215). The finger reading is repeated until the specified number of times is reached, and if the specified number of finger readings have been completed, the finger reading counter count is reset to 0 (step 216), and the process proceeds to the finger authentication test and the registration condition is input. A screen (G07 in FIG. 7) is displayed (step 217). The control unit 22 selects finger vein information most suitable for authentication from the read finger vein information for the specified number of times, and transmits the finger vein information to the server 31 via the communication units 28 and 34. The server 31 receives finger vein information via the communication units 28 and 34 and stores it in the biological information table 36 of the storage unit 33 (may be temporarily stored in the storage unit 25). In addition, the number of times of reading of the finger is updated (for example, “reading is 1/3 times”, followed by “reading is 2/3 times”). By these steps 211 to 216, it is possible to prevent an error of the person in charge of the window who determines that the reading is completed before the reading of the specified number of fingers is completed. Note that the number of times the finger is read can be arbitrarily changed, and is three in FIG. The registration condition input screen (G07 in FIG. 7) is a screen for receiving an instruction to start an authentication test. In the screen, an account number field, a finger selection field, a current status display field (in FIG. 7, “Performs an authentication test” is displayed), an authentication test number display field (in FIG. 7, “Authentication test is 1/1 ”),“ Authentication Test ”button, and“ Suspend ”button.

  The finger authentication test will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart example when the control unit 22 of the terminal device 21 executes the registration process. When the “authentication test” button is pressed after the finger to be registered is set on the finger vein reader 12 (step 301), the terminal device 21 starts the authentication processing program 24. An authentication test is started, and finger vein information for the authentication test is read again by the finger vein reader 12. The finger vein registration device 11 transmits the read finger vein information to the terminal device 21 via the communication units 13 and 28. The terminal device 21 receives the finger vein information via the communication units 13 and 28 and stores it in the storage unit 25. Further, as in the registration condition input screen (G08 in FIG. 7), the fact that the authentication test is being performed is displayed (step 302). The control unit 22 stores the finger vein information for the authentication test stored in the storage unit 25 and the finger vein information stored in the biometric information table 36 (if it is temporarily stored in the storage unit 25 when the finger is read) An authentication test (collation) with the finger vein information stored in the unit 25 is performed. The registration condition input screen (G08 in FIG. 7) is a screen during the execution of the authentication test. In the screen, there are an account number field, a finger selection field, a current status display field (in FIG. 7, “authenticating”), an authentication test number display field (in FIG. 7, “authentication test is 1 / There is a “Cancel” button.

  Next, the terminal device 21 counts the number of authentication tests by the authentication test counter of the control unit 22 (step 303). If the specified number of authentication tests has not been completed, the authentication test is satisfied on the display unit 27. A message indicating that it has not been displayed. When the “authentication test” button is pressed again, the authentication test is performed again (step 304). The authentication test is repeated until the specified number of times is reached, and when the specified number of authentication tests are completed, the count of the authentication test counter is reset to 0 (step 305). By these steps 301 to 305, it is possible to prevent a mistake in the person in charge of the window who determines that the authentication test is completed before the end of the specified number of authentication tests. The number of finger authentication tests can be arbitrarily changed, and is set to one in FIG.

  Subsequent to step 305, the number of fingers for which the authentication test has been completed is counted by the authentication test number counter of the control unit 22 of the terminal device 21 (step 306). A person input screen (G03 in FIG. 7) is displayed, and selection of a finger to be registered is received from fingers that have not yet been authenticated (step 307). On the other hand, if the authentication test for the specified number has been completed, the count of the authentication test number counter is reset to 0 (step 308), and a registration condition input screen (G09 in FIG. 7) is displayed. By these steps 306 to 308, it is possible to prevent a mistake in the person in charge of the window who determines that the specified number of finger authentication tests have been completed before the end of the specified number of finger authentication tests. Note that the number of fingers to be registered can be arbitrarily changed, and is two in FIG. The registration condition input screen (G09 in FIG. 7) is a screen for performing final registration confirmation after the specified number of authentication tests are completed. In the screen, an account number field, a finger selection field, a current status display field (in FIG. 7, “Register to the biometric information server” is displayed), an authentication test result display field (in FIG. 7, "The authentication test was successful" is displayed), "Register" button, "Suspend" button. It is also possible to accept pressing of the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed. Pressing the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed is regarded as the same operation as the “Register” button.

  Next, when the “registration” button is pressed (step 309), the registrant information is stored in the registrant information table 35 stored in the storage unit 33, and the biometric information is written in the biometric information table 36 (step 310). The registration history is output, and the registration condition input screen (G10 in FIG. 7) is displayed (if the registrant information or biometric information is temporarily stored in the storage unit 25, the terminal device 21 stores it in the storage unit 25. The registrant information and the biometric information are transmitted to the server 31 via the communication units 28 and 34. The server 31 receives the registrant information and the biometric information via the communication units 28 and 34 and stores them in the storage unit 33. The registrant information table 35 and the biometric information are written into the biometric information table 36). After the registration history is output, the registration history is obtained from the administrator and submitted to the administrator. The registration condition input screen (G10 in FIG. 7) is a screen for ending the registration operation and returning to the menu screen. In the screen, there are an account number field, a finger selection field, an operation guidance display field (in FIG. 7, “Please press the registration end button”), and a “registration end” button. It is also possible to accept pressing of the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed, and pressing the “Enter” key while this screen is displayed is regarded as the same operation as the “end registration” button.

  When the “registration end” button is pressed (step 311), biometric information registration ends.

  Since reading the finger vein information may require the registrant to retry, it takes time, so by telling the user the standard time to completion of registration and the current progress in the operation guidance display field, Psychological burden can be reduced. For example, “Registration is completed from Step 1 to Step 5, which takes about 10 minutes as a standard. Currently, Step 2 (standard required time is 2 minutes)” is displayed.

  Although registration has been described, it can also be used for updating and deleting. In particular, if there is a situation in which you want to change the account holder due to the death or missing of the account holder (biometric information registrant), you can delete or change the holder of the account holder In order to enable (change), based on the input of update or deletion, whether or not a relationship certificate has been presented as part of or in place of the identity verification material is input / checked.

  In the above description, the example of reading the first finger, reading the second finger after the end of the authentication test, and performing the authentication test has been described. Alternatively, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which the number of authentication tests is performed after the number of registered readings is completed, for example, the first authentication test and the second authentication test are performed after the first reading and the second reading are completed. .

  In the first embodiment, it is assumed that the biometric information registration system / device is used at the reception desk of a financial institution, but the biometric information is stored in the server. However, a system that stores the biometric information in the IC card may be used. If the system stores the information in the IC card, a server for storing the registrant information table and the biometric information table becomes unnecessary. If it is no longer necessary to send / receive data to / from the server, there is no risk of information being intercepted during data communication, and there is no risk of information leaking from the server itself.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the device includes a finger vein registration device 11, a terminal device 21, and an IC card reader (not shown). The IC card reader may be integrated with the finger vein registration device 11 or the terminal device 21. Information in the IC card is preferably processed by the finger vein registration device 11 in terms of prevention of information leakage or the like than being sent to the terminal device 21 for processing. Although it is not necessary to store the biometric data of the biometric information table 36 in the server 31, it is administratively necessary to store a part of the information in the registrant information table 35 in the server 31 or another server or host (not shown). desirable.

  According to the flowchart described in the first embodiment, the account number is obtained by reading the information in the IC card, and since the data of a plurality of persons is not stored in the card, the identification by the person number is not performed. Starting from step 113 (registration condition input screen G03 in FIG. 7), there is a change such as recording on the card in step 310 in FIG.

  Note that the operator (financial institution) may decide whether the biometric information is stored in the server or the IC card, or the registrant (customer) may decide.

  In the first embodiment, the biometric information is authenticated by the terminal device. However, the biometric information may be authenticated by any one of the finger vein registration device, the server, and the IC card. If authentication is performed in a finger vein registration device or an IC card, it is not necessary to transmit / receive data between devices using a communication unit, so that information leakage can be prevented. As a configuration, the authentication program 24 is provided in the finger vein registration device 11 or the server 31 or the IC card.

  In the first and second embodiments, the example in which the registrant is the customer and the operator is the bank clerk (teller), that is, the terminal device 21 is the bank terminal of the bank office has been described. It can also be applied to customer-operated devices such as. In this case, it is preferable to change the screen design, screen flow, etc. for customer operations. In addition, in ATM, there is a possibility that if a registrant continues to insert a wrong finger, the registrant is registering for criminal purposes in consideration of the fact that the registrant himself operates the device without an attendant. For example, all of the registrant's account usage may be stopped (for example, an account unavailability flag is set in the registrant information table).
