  Conventionally, in order to provide an authentication device that performs high-precision personal authentication without causing psychological discomfort or discomfort to the user, biometric imaging is performed by photographing a body part (such as a fingerprint and an iris) without contact. After extracting the feature data from the acquired biometric image and encrypting it in the encryption unit, the camera unit and image processing unit for acquiring the image, the image display unit for guiding the part to the optimal imaging position, Some include a control unit and a communication I / F unit that transmit to the authentication server (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

However, in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1, the acquired biometric image is transmitted to the authentication server. However, when the biometric data is also forcibly stolen when the mobile phone is stolen, the authentication server uses the stolen authentication data. Since the user is authenticated, there is a problem that the person cannot be completely identified.
Conventionally, in order to provide a keyless system capable of solving problems caused by loss or theft while preventing unauthorized use, a user can use a mobile terminal and a locking / unlocking device provided at the entrance of the target building. Connect, send a connection request from this mobile terminal to the management server via the Internet, and send authentication information consisting of the personal ID, location of the target property, and fingerprint data. Send the authentication information data to the management server. In response to this, the management server authenticates the personal ID and the fingerprint data, and if the identity is confirmed, the key number associated with the property data is transmitted to the mobile terminal. A lock / unlock device that outputs a key number to the lock / unlock unit and receives the key number unlocks the locked cylinder lock to allow the door to be opened (for example, patents). Document reference 2).

However, in Patent Document 2, the management server authenticates the personal ID and the fingerprint data, and the mobile terminal or the management server locks / unlocks, but when the personal IC and fingerprint data are forcibly stolen. Since the management server also authenticates the stolen ID and fingerprint data, there is a problem that the person cannot be completely identified.
Conventionally, the network terminal can be connected to the security company's network in order to be able to confirm the security status without depending on location or time, to enable transmission of detailed status information using digital images, etc., and to provide a security system. Always connected, constantly monitoring above security items, network terminal can be connected from the mobile terminal of the user, the user can check the security status with the mobile terminal, and can control the security item from the outside When the security item detects an abnormality, the security terminal and the user are notified of the abnormality from the network terminal, and the security company's security server notifies the police terminal according to the abnormal state notified from the network terminal. Report to device or fire station terminal Is the (e.g., see Patent Document 3).

However, in the above-mentioned patent document 3, the security status can be confirmed without depending on the location and time, and detailed information transmission by a digital image or the like is enabled, and a security system is provided. It does not deal with the situation of lock destruction (including natural destruction) with a simple configuration.
