Description

  The present invention relates to a bidding apparatus, a bidding system, and a bidding method.

  There is a system that automates livestock, flowers, used cars, etc. The seri system includes a bidding device (a bidding terminal device) used for bidding by participants of the seri. There is a limit to the number of bidders, and participants of the seri register in advance to participate in the stake and receive login authentication at the start of use of the bidder.

  In addition, registration of the participation is performed in units of traders, and a plurality of people may participate per trader. Therefore, one trader may be able to receive login authentication for a plurality of bidding devices.

In such a sliding system, one contractor can occupy more bidders than necessary. In addition, a third party different from the time of authentication could use the bidding device.
Unauthorized occupancy of bidding equipment by some of the participants will deprive others of the opportunity to participate in the event, hindering the fair progression of the event and causing disadvantages to exhibitors and organizers. .
In addition, the use of a third party bidding apparatus different from the time of authentication makes inconvenience in various procedures after a successful bid, such as making it difficult to confirm the identity of the successful bidder.

  For this reason, there is a request for authentication not only at the time of login but also in use. As a technique for responding to such a request, for example, an authentication device capable of performing authentication based on biometric information in the state of use is known, not only when a target device is logged in.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present technology will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[First Embodiment]
First, the bidding apparatus according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a bid response apparatus according to the first embodiment.

  The bidding apparatus 1 is an apparatus that accepts a bidding operation from a sari participant at a banquet hall. In general, there are a plurality of bidding apparatuses 1 in the banquet hall, and each bidding apparatus 1 is connected to a berthing control apparatus that controls the progression of the ban. The bidding device 1 accepts the bidding operation and notifies the control device to bid. In response to the bid notification from the bidding apparatus 1, the slide control apparatus controls the progress of the bid.

  The bidding apparatus 1 includes a first authentication unit 2, a second authentication unit 3, a bidding receiving unit 4, and a bidding permission unit 5. The first authentication unit 2 performs biometric authentication with the first authentication accuracy on the biological information of the participant. The biological information is information that can be acquired from a living body and that can identify an individual. Biometric information includes, for example, fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, faces, blood vessels, and DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid). When a blood vessel is used as biological information, there is a vein pattern, and the vein pattern can be acquired from a fingertip, palm, or other part. In biometric authentication, biometric information registered in advance (registered template) and biometric information acquired at the time of authentication are collated, and the success or failure of collation is determined by comparing the collation score with a collation threshold. The authentication accuracy can be adjusted by a verification threshold used for biometric authentication. For example, if the person is likely to be the person with a high matching score, the FAR (False Acceptance Rate) can be reduced by increasing the matching threshold. However, increasing the collation threshold value may increase FRR (False Rejection Rate).

  The bid accepting unit 4 can accept a bid operation by the participant when the first participant is authenticated by the first authenticating unit 2. The state in which the bidding operation can be accepted refers to a state in which the bidding participant can use the bidding device 1, for example, the login of the bidding participant to the bidding device 1. The bid operation can be input from an input device such as a switch that can be operated by the participant. As a result, the seri organizer can cause the seri participants to participate in the seri with the authentication accuracy appropriate to the seri organizer.

  The second authentication unit 3 performs biometric authentication on the participant's biometric information with a second authentication accuracy different from the first authentication accuracy. The bidding permitting unit 5 permits the bidding operation to be accepted when the participant has been authenticated with the second authentication accuracy. That is, when the bidding permission unit 5 permits the acceptance of the bidding operation, the bidding apparatus 1 can notify the control apparatus of the bidding by the participant.

  In this way, the bidding apparatus 1 asks the bidding operation for permission by the bidding permission section 5 and makes it possible to exclude bidding operations without permission. As a result, the bidding apparatus 1 ensures fair use of the bidding apparatus 1 by the participants.

  In addition, the bidding apparatus 1 makes it possible to satisfy both the identity verification during bidding and the progress without lingering by making the second authentication accuracy lower than the first authentication accuracy. In addition, the bidding apparatus 1 may make the second authentication accuracy higher than the first authentication accuracy, and when the strict identity verification is required after the settlement is confirmed, such as an expensive bidding, the post-procedure can be easily performed. can do. Accordingly, the bidding apparatus 1 can reduce the loss of bidding opportunities and facilitate post-procedures by setting the second authentication accuracy to the accuracy required.

  The purchase shop operation terminal 20 is an input device for bid operation for bid participants to bid. Further, the purchase shop operation terminal 20 is an information display device that displays information about the progress of the talk, such as information about the trade object of the talk and an accepted price of the trade object. The purchase shop operation terminal 20 asks the login participant for login authentication, and the authenticated participant can use it after authentication.

  The seriperson / adjuster operation terminal 15 is an operation terminal for a seriperson (organizer) to control the progress of the sericulture. The operator / adjuster operation terminal 15 displays necessary information regarding the progress of the bid, such as the presence / absence of the bid and the number of bidders, and the progress of the bid, such as the price range to be raised, bid time, successful bid, judgment of the flow, etc. The input of required information about is accepted. The display control device 16 performs display control of a large monitor that displays the state of a bargain and a transaction object in the barn hall. The cooperation device cooperates with other systems such as a bidding system outside the venue in real time.

  The network 19 doubles the connection between the slide control devices 13 and 14 and each terminal device (purchasing store operation terminal 20, seriman / coordinator operation terminal 15, display control device 16, cooperation device 17) via two or more routes. A redundant configuration. For example, the network 19 is constructed as a LAN (Local Area Network) in a banquet hall.

  The business server 11 is responsible for the background business of the bargaining transaction at the barn hall. The video server 12 manages the video of the transaction object or other video. For example, the network 18 is constructed using a public line or a dedicated line.

Next, the external appearance of the store operation terminal 20 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an appearance of a purchase shop operation terminal according to the second embodiment.
In the seri hall, a bidder seat for seri participants is set up with a large monitor facing the front. Each bidder seat is provided with a purchase shop operation terminal 20 on the desk, and a purchase shop operation terminal 20 is assigned to each participant.

  The purchase shop operation terminal 20 includes a monitor 21, a touch panel 22, bid switches 23 and 24, a holder 25, a numeric keypad 26, and an IC (Integrated Circuit) card reader 27.

  The monitor 21 displays necessary information. The touch panel 22 inputs a touch operation corresponding to the content displayed on the monitor 21. The numeric keypad 26 is an auxiliary input device for inputting numbers and the like that are not easy on the touch panel 22. The IC card reader 27 reads and writes data in a storage area provided in the IC card. The IC card is issued to a member who is eligible to participate in the line and has identification information for specifying the member (individual or corporation or organization).

  Bidding switches 23 and 24 are switches for inputting bidding operations. The bidding switches 23 and 24 are held by holders 25 provided on the left and right sides of the monitor 21, and can be used by removing the holders 25 and extending the curl cords. Purchasing store operation terminal 20 enables bidding operations for each of the bidding transactions when bidding transactions 23 and 24 proceed simultaneously.

  The bidding switches 23 and 24 include an operation button 28, a grip 29, and a button guard 32. The participant can press the operation button 28 with his / her thumb when holding the grip 29 with one hand. The button guard 32 surrounds the operation button 28 by an upright wall and prevents an unintentional pressing operation of the operation button 28. A part of the standing wall of the button guard 32 is notched so that the thumb can face the operation button 28.

  Among the bidding switches 23 and 24, the bidding switch 23 is further provided with a vein sensor 30 in the grip 29 so that the vein pattern can be acquired from the palm of the participant holding the grip 29. The vein sensor 30 is in a predetermined position with respect to the cutout portion of the button guard 32. Thereby, even if the bid switch 23 is re-gripped, the bid switch 23 keeps the palm position of the participant constant in a state where the operation button 28 can be pressed with the thumb.

  Next, the hardware configuration of the purchase shop operation terminal 20 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a hardware configuration of a purchase store operation terminal according to the second embodiment.

The purchase shop operation terminal 20 includes a processing device 31, a monitor 21, a touch panel 22, a numeric keypad 26, bid switches 23 and 24, and an IC card reader 27.
The entire processing apparatus 31 is controlled by one or two or more CPUs (Central Processing Units) 31a. A random access memory (RAM) 31b, a hard disk drive (HDD) 31c, a communication interface 31d, a graphic processing device 31e, and an input / output interface 31f are connected to the CPU 31a via a bus 31g.

  The RAM 31b temporarily stores at least part of an OS (Operating System) program and application programs to be executed by the CPU 31a. The RAM 31b stores various data necessary for processing by the CPU 31a. The HDD 31c stores an OS and application programs.

A monitor 21 is connected to the graphic processing device 31e. The graphic processing device 31e displays an image on the monitor 21 in accordance with a command from the CPU 31a.
Connected to the input / output interface 31f are a touch panel 22, a numeric keypad 26, bidding switches 23 and 24, and an IC card reader 27. The input / output interface 31 f is connectable to a portable recording medium interface that can write information to the portable recording medium 80 and read information from the portable recording medium 80. The input / output interface 31f transmits signals sent from the touch panel 22, the numeric keypad 26, the bid switches 23 and 24, the IC card reader 27, and the portable recording medium interface to the CPU 31a via the bus 31g.

  The communication interface 31 d is connected to the network 19. The communication interface 31d transmits and receives data to and from the slide control device 13 or the slide control device 14.

With the hardware configuration as described above, the processing functions of the present embodiment can be realized.
The processing device 31 can be configured to include modules each composed of an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), a DSP (Digital Signal Processor), or the like, or can be configured without the CPU 31a. In this case, each of the processing devices 31 includes a nonvolatile memory (for example, an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory), a flash memory, a flash memory type memory card, etc.) and stores module firmware. The nonvolatile memory can write firmware via the portable recording medium 80 or the communication interface 31d. In this way, the processing device 31 can also update the firmware by rewriting the firmware stored in the nonvolatile memory.

Next, functions included in the sliding system 10 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a sliding system according to the second embodiment.
The purchase shop operation terminal 20 includes a first authentication unit 39, a bidding control unit 40, a bidding receiving unit 41, a second authentication unit 42, a bidding permission unit 43, an authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44, and a slide progress information acquisition. A unit 45, a slide status display unit 46, and a communication unit 47.

  The first authentication unit 39 performs login authentication of the participant. The first authentication unit 39 performs authentication by comparing the registration template 34 stored in the IC card 33 with the biometric information acquired from the bidding switch 23 via the IC card reader 27. At this time, the first authentication unit 39 acquires the verification threshold value for login authentication from the authentication accuracy information 50 and performs verification. Specifically, the first authentication unit 39 acquires the verification threshold value for login authentication from the authentication accuracy table 100 (see FIG. 10) recorded as the authentication accuracy information 50, and performs verification.

  The bidding switch 23 includes a bidding operation detection unit 35, a light emitting unit 36, and a reflected light detection unit 37. The bidding switch 23 irradiates a living body (palm) whose light emitting unit 36 is a subject with near infrared rays, and the reflected light detecting unit 37 captures reflected light to obtain biological information. Since hemoglobin in the red blood cells flowing in the veins has lost oxygen, this hemoglobin (reduced hemoglobin) has a property of absorbing near infrared rays in the vicinity of 700 nm to 1000 nm. Therefore, when near infrared rays are applied to the palm, only a portion where the vein is present is less reflected, and the position of the vein can be recognized by the intensity of reflected light of the near infrared ray. For vein images, characteristic information can be easily extracted by using a specific light source.

  The bidding control unit 40 comprehensively controls bidding of the purchase shop operation terminal 20 based on the progress of the bid. The bidding accepting unit 41 accepts the bidding operation detected by the bidding operation detecting unit 35 included in the bidding switch 23 from the bidding switch 23 when the participant has obtained the authentication of the first authentication unit 39.

  The second authentication unit 42 performs authentication at a predetermined timing during login of the participant. The second authentication unit 42 performs authentication by comparing the registration template 34 stored in the IC card 33 via the IC card reader 27 with the biometric information acquired from the bidding switch 23. At this time, the second authentication unit 42 acquires the verification threshold value for login authentication from the authentication accuracy information 50 (authentication accuracy table 100), and performs verification.

The bidding permitting unit 43 sets the bidding operation accepted by the bidding accepting unit 41 as an effective bidding operation when the participant has obtained the authentication of the second authentication unit 42.
The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44 specifies a verification threshold for authentication during login that the second authentication unit 42 acquires from the authentication accuracy information 50 (authentication accuracy table 100). The slip progress information acquisition unit 45 acquires the slip progress information 53 from the slip control device 13. The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44 specifies a verification threshold for authentication during login based on the progress information 53 acquired by the progress information acquisition unit 45. The advancement information 53 is information relating to the advancement of the advancement, and includes, for example, the number of bidders, the amount of bids, the price range at the time of uplift, and the remaining time of the return. The threshold value for verification during login can be changed based on the progress information 53. Therefore, the authentication accuracy of authentication during login can be changed as the threshold value is changed.

  Since the login authentication performed by the first authentication unit 39 has a sufficient authentication time, it is possible to retry biometric information acquisition, and authentication can be performed with strict authentication accuracy. On the other hand, the during-login authentication performed by the second authentication unit 42 may not have a sufficient margin for the authentication time because it corresponds to the progress. Therefore, the second authentication unit 42 performs flexible authentication corresponding to the progress of the slide with an authentication accuracy different from the authentication accuracy of the first authentication unit 39.

  The slip state display unit 46 displays information on the monitor 21 that allows the slip participant to grasp the state of the slip. The communication unit 47 communicates with the slide control device 13. When the slide control device 14 is an active system, the communication unit 47 communicates with the slide control device 14.

  The slide control device 13 includes a slide control unit 48 and a communication unit 49. The slip control unit 48 comprehensively controls the progress of the slip. The slider control unit 48 manages information of the participant (member) as a member information 51. The slip control unit 48 manages information related to the slip (such as specifications of a used car, information about a transaction object such as an appearance, a desired bid price of a used car, an accepted price at the start of a slip transaction) as the slip information 52. The slip control unit 48 manages information regarding the progress of the slip as the slip progress information 53. The communication unit 49 communicates with the purchasing store operation terminal 20 and other devices (serider / adjuster operation terminal 15 and others).

  Next, a general flow of the purchasing store operation terminal 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a general flowchart of the purchase shop operation terminal according to the second embodiment. 7 and 8 are diagrams illustrating an example of display output in the purchasing store operation terminal according to the second embodiment. The purchase shop operation terminal 20 is activated based on an activation instruction from the slide control device 13, for example.

  [Step S11] The bid control unit 40 monitors the acceptance of the IC card 33. The bid control unit 40 proceeds to step S12 when the IC card 33 is received, and waits for the reception of the IC card 33 when the IC card 33 is not received.

  [Step S12] The bid control unit 40 instructs the first authentication unit 39 to execute an initial authentication process. The initial authentication process is a login authentication process for a participant who is executed by the first authentication unit 39. At this time, the purchase shop operation terminal 20 displays a guidance display (FIG. 7A) for confirming the identity, and a progress display for guiding the progress of authentication with characters and graphs (during authentication (FIG. 7B)), The authentication is completed (FIG. 7C). Details of the initial authentication processing will be described later with reference to FIG.

  [Step S13] The bid control unit 40 determines whether or not the authentication is successful based on the initial authentication process. The bid control unit 40 proceeds to step S14 if the authentication is successful, and proceeds to step S11 if the authentication is unsuccessful.

  [Step S14] The bid control unit 40 waits for an operation instruction from a participant. At this time, the purchase shop operation terminal 20 displays a guide for a selectable operation menu (FIG. 8A). Note that the purchasing store operation terminal 20 performs intermediate authentication at a required timing for participants who have undergone initial authentication. The intermediate authentication process for performing intermediate authentication is a process executed by the second authentication unit 42 in the background.

  [Step S15] The bidding control unit 40 determines whether or not the selected operation menu is “slip start”. The bidding control unit 40 proceeds to step S16 when the selected operation menu is “slip start”, and proceeds to step S17 when it is not “slip start”.

  [Step S16] The bid control unit 40 executes a bid bidding process. At this time, the purchase shop operation terminal 20 displays information that can grasp the state of the slip, displays identification information indicating that the intermediate authentication is performed, and displays a graph indicating the remaining time during which the intermediate authentication is valid. (FIG. 8 (B)). Details of the bid response process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  [Step S17] The bid control unit 40 performs other processing. The other process is, for example, a process of performing “vehicle search” and “purchase inquiry” in the operation menu shown in FIG. At this time, the store operating terminal 20 displays a display corresponding to “vehicle search” or “purchase inquiry”, identification information indicating that the intermediate authentication is performed, and a graph indicating the remaining time during which the intermediate authentication is valid. Is displayed (FIG. 8C).

  [Step S18] The bid control unit 40 determines whether or not the participant has logged out. The bid control unit 40 proceeds to step S19 when the participant has logged out, and proceeds to step S14 when not logged out.

  [Step S19] The bidding control unit 40 determines whether or not all the endings have been completed. The bid control unit 40 proceeds to step S11 when all the transitions are not completed, and ends the process when all the transitions are completed.

  Next, an initial authentication process for performing login authentication of a participant will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 9 is a sequence diagram of an initial authentication process executed by the purchase store operation terminal and the sliding control device according to the second embodiment. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating an example of an authentication accuracy table according to the second embodiment. The initial authentication process is executed in step S12 of the general flow shown in FIG.

First, the purchase shop operation terminal 20 starts an initial authentication process.
[Step S21] The first authentication unit 39 (purchase shop operating terminal 20) obtains biometric information (palm vein pattern) from the bid switch 23.

  [Step S <b> 22] The first authentication unit 39 acquires a registered template (palm vein pattern) 34 from the IC card 33. The registration template 34 is biometric information registered beforehand by the participant. The registration template 34 may be biometric information registered at the time of member registration or renewal, or may be registered at the reception on the day of the slide.

  [Step S <b> 23] The first authentication unit 39 acquires a verification threshold value via the authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44. The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44 refers to the authentication accuracy table 100 and acquires a verification threshold value at the time of initial authentication. For example, the first authentication unit 39 acquires “100” as the verification threshold value in the initial authentication via the authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44.

  [Step S24] The first authentication unit 39 compares the biometric information acquired from the bidding switch 23 with the registered template 34 to calculate a verification score. The first authentication unit 39 compares the verification threshold value with the calculated verification score to determine whether the verification is successful. If the collation score is equal to or greater than the collation threshold, the first authentication unit 39 accepts the bidding operation by the bidding accepting unit 41 as collation OK (collation success), and proceeds to step S25. On the other hand, if the verification score does not satisfy the verification threshold, the first authentication unit 39 proceeds to step S26 as verification NG (verification failure).

[Step S <b> 25] The first authentication unit 39 notifies the connection controller 13 of member information (for example, a member number recorded on the IC card 33) of the authenticated participant.
[Step S26] The first authentication unit 39 notifies the person to be authenticated of the authentication result by display on the monitor 21, voice, or the like, and ends the initial authentication process.

On the other hand, the slip control device 13 can acquire the notification of the member information from the purchasing store operation terminal 20, and starts the initial authentication process until the execution of step S21.
[Step S31] The slip control unit 48 (slip control device 13) acquires member information in response to a notification from the purchase shop operation terminal 20.

  [Step S32] The thread control unit 48 identifies the member who has received the login authentication from the member information, and confirms that the member identified from the member information is in a use state in the purchasing store operation terminal 20 that has notified the member information. , Register in the member information 51.

In this manner, the slide system 10 performs member authentication and usage registration, and aims to use the purchase shop operation terminal 20 fairly.
Next, an intermediate authentication process for performing authentication during login of a participant is described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. FIG. 11 is a flowchart of an intermediate authentication process executed by the purchase shop operation terminal according to the second embodiment. The intermediate authentication process is executed in the background of the bidding control unit 40 by the second authentication unit 42 after the determination of successful authentication in step S13 of the general flow shown in FIG.

[Step S41] The second authentication unit 42 acquires biometric information from the bidding switch 23 via the bidding accepting unit 41.
[Step S42] The second authentication unit 42 acquires the registration template 34 from the IC card 33.

[Step S43] The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44 acquires the path progress information via the path progress information acquisition unit 45.
[Step S44] The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44 refers to the authentication accuracy table 100 and acquires a collation threshold value during intermediate authentication corresponding to the acquired progress information. The second authentication unit 42 acquires a verification threshold value via the authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44.

  The authentication accuracy table 100 (FIG. 10) associates authentication types, purchase shop operation terminal usage rates, verification threshold values, and valid time (minutes). Authentication types include “initial authentication” and “intermediate authentication”. The purchasing store operation terminal usage rate is a usage rate of a plurality of purchasing store operation terminals 20 in the banquet hall. The collation threshold is used for the success or failure of collation by comparison with the collation score. The valid time (minutes) is the valid time when the verification is successful.

  For example, out of 100 purchasing store operation terminals 20 in the banquet hall, if 50 purchasing store operation terminals 20 are in use, the purchasing store operation terminal usage rate is “70% or less”. The purchase store operation terminal usage rate is an example of the advancement information, and instead of the purchase store operation terminal usage rate, it may be a price range, a bidding time, the number of bidders, and the like.

The second authentication unit 42 acquires the verification threshold value “95” if the purchase store operation terminal usage rate is “70% or less”, and if the purchase store operation terminal usage rate is “over 95%”, the verification threshold value “75”. Is obtained.
[Step S45] The second authentication unit 42 collates the biometric information acquired from the bidding switch 23 with the registered template 34 to calculate a collation score.

  [Step S46] The second authentication unit 42 compares the collation threshold value with the calculated collation score to determine whether collation is successful. If the collation score is equal to or greater than the collation threshold, the second authentication unit 42 proceeds to step S47 as collation OK (collation success). If the collation score does not satisfy the collation threshold, the second authentication unit 42 proceeds to step S49 as collation NG (collation failure). Proceed.

[Step S47] The second authentication unit 42 acquires the valid time of the intermediate authentication via the authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44.
[Step S48] The bidding permitting unit 43 permits bidding for the valid time due to the success of the intermediate authentication by the second authenticating unit. That is, the bidding permission unit 43 validates the bidding operation accepted by the bidding accepting unit 41.

  [Step S49] The bidding permitting unit 43 denies bidding due to the failure of the intermediate authentication by the second authenticating unit 42. That is, the bidding permission unit 43 invalidates the bidding operation accepted by the bidding accepting unit 41.

[Step S50] The second authentication unit 42 informs the person to be authenticated of the authentication result through display on the monitor 21, voice, or the like, and ends the intermediate authentication process.
Thus, the 2nd authentication part 42 can change a collation threshold according to the progress state of a slide. Further, since the second authentication unit 42 is subject to authentication by the first authentication unit 39, the second authentication unit 42 has a verification threshold value “95” having a lower authentication accuracy than the verification threshold value “100” in the initial authentication. , “90”,..., “75” are used for collation.

  Note that the second authenticating unit 42 determines whether or not the collation is successful in one collation in step S46. However, in the case of collation NG, the second authenticating unit 42 may perform recollation up to a predetermined number of times. For example, in the case of collation NG in step S46, the second authentication unit 42 returns to step S41 again, and can perform the re-acquisition of biometric information from the bidding switch 23 and the re-collation up to the number of times set as a threshold. .

  Thereby, the 2nd authentication part 42 prevents that the slicing participant who is in progress of slicing is excluded with the collation threshold value which is too strict. The seri system 10 makes it possible to reduce the loss of bid opportunities due to failure of authentication of seri participants, while ensuring the fair use of the store operating terminal 20.

  Next, the bid bidding process for bidding bids will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart of the bid response process executed by the purchase shop operation terminal according to the second embodiment. The bid response process is executed in step S16 of the general flow shown in FIG.

  [Step S51] The bidding control unit 40 obtains a bar code number that can uniquely identify the bargain transaction to be bid. There is a number of transaction transactions in one event held at the event venue, and bidding must be performed by specifying individual transaction transactions.

[Step S <b> 52] The bid control unit 40 obtains the slip information 52 related to the slip transaction specified from the slip number from the slip control device 13.
[Step S53] The bidding control unit 40 determines whether or not there is bidding permission by the bidding permission unit 43. The bidding control unit 40 proceeds to step S54 if bidding permission is permitted, and proceeds to step S57 if bidding permission is not permitted.

  [Step S54] The bidding control unit 40 determines whether or not a bidding operation has been performed from the bidding switch 23. The bidding control unit 40 proceeds to step S55 if there is a bidding operation, and proceeds to step S57 if there is no bidding operation.

  [Step S55] The bidding control unit 40 notifies the control device 13 that a bid is to be made. The screen control device 13 controls the progress of the screen according to the notified bid. That is, if there are other bidders, the bid control device 13 raises with a predetermined price range, and if there are no other bidders, the bid control device 13 uses the price during bidding on the condition that the desired bid price is exceeded. Confirm the line. The bid control device 13 notifies the bidder response based on the progress of the bid to the store operating terminal 20 that has sent the bid.

[Step S56] The bidding control unit 40 acquires a bidding response from the sliding control device 13.
[Step S57] The bidding control unit 40 proceeds to step S58 if the acquired bidding response is confirmed to be a slip, and proceeds to step S52 if not confirmed.

[Step S58] The bidding control unit 40 executes a confirmation process for confirming the successful bid result.
[Step S59] The bidding control unit 40 confirms whether or not the participant of the bidding ends or continues the bidding. The bid control unit 40 proceeds to step S51 when the bid participant continues the bid bidding, and ends the bid bidding process when finished.

  In this way, since the seri system 10 performs initial authentication and intermediate authentication at the purchasing store operation terminal 20, the fair use of the purchasing store operation terminal 20 is ensured without making the processing load of the control device 13 excessive. be able to. In addition, the purchase store operation terminal 20 can reduce the loss of the bid opportunity due to the authentication failure of the participant.

[Third Embodiment]
Next, functions included in the sliding system according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a sliding system according to the third embodiment. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating an example of a member information table according to the third embodiment. FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating an example of an authentication accuracy table according to the third embodiment. The sliding system 10a according to the third embodiment is different in that authentication of the participant is performed by the sliding control device 13a when the sliding system 10 according to the second embodiment performs the authentication at the purchase shop operation terminal 20. . In the following description, the same configurations or processes as those of the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description is briefly described or omitted.

The purchase shop operation terminal 20 a includes a bid control unit 54, a bid reception unit 41, a slide status display unit 46, and a communication unit 47.
The bidding control unit 54 comprehensively controls the bidding of the purchase shop operation terminal 20 based on the progress of the bid. The bidding accepting unit 41 accepts the bidding operation detected by the bidding operation detecting unit 35 included in the bidding switch 23 from the bidding switch 23 when the participant has obtained the authentication of the first authentication unit 39. The slip state display unit 46 displays information on the monitor 21 that allows the slip participant to grasp the state of the slip. The communication unit 47 communicates with the slide control device 13a.

  The slide control device 13a includes a first authentication unit 55, a second authentication unit 56, an authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57, a slide progress information acquisition unit 58, a bid permission unit 59, a slide control unit 60, and a communication unit 49. Is provided.

  The first authentication unit 55 performs login authentication of the participant. The first authentication unit 55 performs authentication by comparing the registration template registered in the member information 51a with the biometric information acquired from the bidding switch 23 and notified via the purchase shop operation terminal 20a. At this time, the first authentication unit 55 obtains a verification threshold value for login authentication from the authentication accuracy information 50 and performs verification. Specifically, the first authentication unit 55 acquires a verification threshold value for login authentication from the authentication accuracy table 120 recorded as the authentication accuracy information 50, and performs verification. At this time, the 1st authentication part 55 acquires a member number via the purchase shop operation terminal 20a. The first authentication unit 55 refers to the member information table 110 and performs 1: 1 verification with the registered template specified by the member information as a verification target. Note that the first authentication unit 55 may perform 1: N collation for all the registered templates registered in the member information table 110 as collation targets.

  The member information table 110 is table data in which information of members (seri participants) is registered. The member information table 110 records a registration order, a member number, a registration date, a member name, a company name, and a registration template (biometric authentication information). The registration order is the order of member registration. The member number is identification information that can uniquely identify a member. The registration date is the registration date of the member. The member name and company name are information belonging to a member, and other information such as an address and age may be registered as information belonging to the member. The registration template is biometric information registered in advance by the participant. The registration template 34 may be biometric information registered at the time of member registration or renewal, or may be registered at the reception on the day of the slide.

  The second authentication unit 56 performs authentication at a predetermined timing during login of the participant. The second authentication unit 56 performs authentication by comparing the registration template used for verification by the first authentication unit 55 with the biometric information acquired from the bid switch 23. At this time, the second authenticating unit 56 obtains a verification threshold for authentication during login from the authentication accuracy information 50 (authentication accuracy table 120), and performs verification.

  The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57 specifies a verification threshold for authentication during login that the second authentication unit 56 acquires from the authentication accuracy information 50 (authentication accuracy table 120). The sliding progress information acquisition unit 58 acquires the sliding progress information 53. The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57 specifies a verification threshold for authentication during login based on the progress information 53 acquired by the progress information acquisition unit 58. The threshold value for verification during login can be changed based on the progress information 53. Therefore, the authentication accuracy of authentication during login can be changed as the threshold value is changed.

The bidding permitting unit 59 sets the bidding operation accepted by the bidding accepting unit 41 as an effective bidding operation when the participant has obtained the authentication of the second authentication unit 56.
Since the login authentication performed by the first authentication unit 55 has a sufficient authentication time, it is possible to retry biometric information acquisition, and authentication can be performed with strict authentication accuracy. On the other hand, the during-login authentication performed by the second authentication unit 56 may not have a sufficient margin for the authentication time because it corresponds to the progress. Therefore, the second authentication unit 56 performs flexible authentication corresponding to the progress of the slide with an authentication accuracy different from the authentication accuracy of the first authentication unit 55.

  The slip control unit 60 comprehensively controls the progress of the slip. The slip control unit 60 manages information on the slip participants (members) as member information 51a. The slip control unit 60 manages information related to the slip as the slip information 52. The slip control unit 60 manages information related to the progress of the slip as the slip progress information 53. The communication unit 49 communicates with the purchasing store operation terminal 20 and other devices (serider / adjuster operation terminal 15 and others).

  Next, an initial authentication process for performing login authentication of a participant will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a sequence diagram of an initial authentication process executed by the purchasing store operation terminal and the sliding control device according to the third embodiment. Similar to the initial authentication process of the second embodiment, the initial authentication process of the third embodiment is executed in step S12 of the general flow shown in FIG.

First, the purchase shop operation terminal 20a starts an initial authentication process.
[Step S61] The bidding control unit 54 (purchasing store operation terminal 20a) acquires member information and notifies it to the sliding control device 13a. The bid control unit 54 can acquire member information by touch input using the touch panel 22. The bid control unit 54 may acquire the member information by other input methods such as key input using the numeric keypad 26 or reading from the IC card 33 by the IC card reader 27. In addition, when the 1st authentication part 55 performs 1: N collation, the bid control part 54 can abbreviate | omit input of member information.

[Step S62] The bidding control unit 54 acquires biometric information (palm vein pattern) from the bidding switch 23.
[Step S63] The bid control unit 54 obtains the biological information and notifies the slide control device 13a.

  [Step S64] The bid control unit 54 acquires the authentication result of the notified biometric information from the slide control device 13a. The bidding control unit 54 allows the bidding operation to be accepted by the bidding accepting unit 41 when the participant has obtained the authentication of the first authentication unit 39.

[Step S65] The bid control unit 54 informs the person to be authenticated of the authentication result by display on the monitor 21, voice, or the like, and ends the initial authentication process.
On the other hand, the slide control device 13a makes it possible to obtain the notification of member information from the purchase shop operation terminal 20a, and starts the initial authentication process before the execution of step S61.

[Step S71] The first authentication unit 55 (slip control device 13a) acquires member information from the purchase shop operation terminal 20a.
[Step S72] The first authentication unit 55 acquires biometric information from the purchase shop operation terminal 20a.

[Step S73] The first authentication unit 55 refers to the member information table 110 and acquires biometric information (registered template) corresponding to the member information.
[Step S <b> 74] The first authentication unit 55 acquires a verification threshold value via the authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57. The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57 refers to the authentication accuracy table 120 and acquires a verification threshold value at the time of initial authentication. For example, the first authentication unit 55 acquires “100” as the verification threshold value in the initial authentication via the authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57.

  [Step S75] The first authentication unit 55 collates the biometric information acquired from the purchase shop operation terminal 20a with the biometric information (registered template), and calculates a collation score. The first authentication unit 55 compares the verification threshold value with the calculated verification score to determine whether the verification is successful. If the verification score is equal to or higher than the verification threshold, the first authenticating unit 55 determines verification OK (successful verification). If the verification score does not satisfy the verification threshold, the first authentication unit 55 determines verification NG (verification failure).

[Step S76] The first authentication unit 55 notifies the purchaser operation terminal 20a of the authentication result.
[Step S77] If the authentication is successful (the verification is successful in Step S75), the slide controller 60 proceeds to Step S78. On the other hand, in the case of authentication failure (collation failure in step S75), the slide controller 60 ends the initial authentication process.

  [Step S78] In the purchasing operation terminal 20a that has notified the member information, the slip control unit 60 registers in the member information 51a that the member specified from the member information is in use, and performs an initial authentication process. finish.

In this way, the sliding system 10a performs member authentication and usage registration, and aims to use the purchasing store operation terminal 20a fairly.
Next, an intermediate authentication process for performing authentication during login of a participant is described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 17 is a sequence diagram of the intermediate authentication process executed by the purchase shop operation terminal and the sliding control device according to the third embodiment. FIG. 18 is a diagram illustrating an example of an authentication accuracy table according to the third embodiment. The intermediate authentication process is executed by the bidding control unit 54 and the second authentication unit 56 after the determination of successful authentication in step S13 of the general flow shown in FIG. The intermediate authentication process is executed at a required timing so that the effective time of authentication does not expire.

First, the purchasing store operation terminal 20a starts the intermediate authentication process.
[Step S81] The bidding control unit 54 acquires biometric information from the bidding switch 23 via the bidding accepting unit 41.

[Step S82] The bidding control unit 54 notifies the control device 13a of the acquired biological information.
[Step S83] The bidding control unit 54 acquires the authentication result of the notified biometric information from the slide control device 13a.

[Step S84] When the authentication result acquired from the slide control device 13a is successful, the bidding control unit 54 acquires the valid time of intermediate authentication.
[Step S85] The bid control unit 54 informs the person to be authenticated of the authentication result by display on the monitor 21, voice, or the like, and ends the intermediate authentication process.

On the other hand, the slide control device 13a can acquire the notification of the biometric information from the purchase shop operation terminal 20a, and starts the intermediate authentication process until the execution of step S82.
[Step S91] The second authentication unit 56 acquires biometric information from the purchase shop operation terminal 20a.

[Step S92] The second authentication unit 56 refers to the member information table 110 and acquires biometric information (registered template) corresponding to the member information.
[Step S <b> 93] The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57 acquires the sliding progress information via the sliding progress information acquisition unit 58.

  [Step S94] The authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57 refers to the authentication accuracy table 130, and acquires a verification threshold value during intermediate authentication corresponding to the acquired progress information. The second authentication unit 56 acquires a verification threshold value via the authentication accuracy acquisition unit 57.

  The authentication accuracy table 130 associates the authentication type, the number of bids / the past one hour, the verification threshold value, and the valid time (minutes). Authentication types include “initial authentication” and “intermediate authentication”. The number of bids / past 1 hour is the number of bids in the past 1 hour for each participant. The collation threshold is used for the success or failure of collation by comparison with the collation score. The valid time (minutes) is the valid time when the verification is successful.

  For example, if the participant has bid once in the past hour, the number of bids / the past hour is “1 or less”. The number of bids / past 1 hour is an example of the history information of the bid, and instead of the number of bids / past 1 hour, the number of successful bids / past 1 hour, login time, etc. may be used.

  For example, the number of bids / the past one hour is “10 or less” if the number of bids is “5” with reference to the bidding history within the past one hour from the current time. The second authentication unit 56 obtains the matching threshold value “95” if the number of bids / the past hour is “1” or less, and obtains the matching threshold value “75” if the bid price / acceptance price is “over 30”. To do.

  [Step S95] The second authentication unit 56 collates the biometric information acquired from the purchase store operation terminal 20a with the registered template, and calculates a collation score. The second authentication unit 56 compares the collation threshold value with the calculated collation score to determine whether collation is successful.

  [Step S96] If the intermediate authentication is successful, the second authenticating unit 56 permits the bidding through the bidding permitting unit 59 for the valid time. If the intermediate authentication fails, the second authenticating unit 56 rejects the bidding via the bidding permitting unit 59. As described above, the second authentication unit 56 updates the bidding permission state via the bidding permission unit 59.

[Step S97] The second authentication unit 56 notifies the purchase shop operation terminal 20a of the authentication result.
[Step S98] If the authentication result is successful, the second authentication unit 56 notifies the purchase shop operation terminal 20a of the validity time of the intermediate authentication, and ends the intermediate authentication process.

  Thus, the 2nd authentication part 56 can change a collation threshold value according to the progress state of a slide. In addition, since the second authentication unit 56 uses the authentication by the first authentication unit 55 as a target for authentication, the second authentication unit 56 has a lower verification accuracy “95” than the verification threshold “100” in the initial authentication. , “90”,..., “75” are used for collation. As a result, the second authentication unit 56 prevents the stake participant who is in the process of being ridden from being excluded with a collation threshold that is too strict. The seri system 10a makes it possible to reduce the loss of bid opportunities due to failure of authentication of seri participants while ensuring the fair use of the store operating terminal 20a.

[Fourth Embodiment]
Next, functions included in the sliding system according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a sliding system according to the fourth embodiment. The sliding system 10b according to the fourth embodiment is different from the sliding system 10 according to the second embodiment in that the biometric information acquired at the time of initial authentication is used as a registration template used for intermediate authentication. In the following description, the same configurations or processes as those of the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description is briefly described or omitted.

  The purchase shop operation terminal 20b includes a first authentication unit 61, a bidding control unit 62, a bidding receiving unit 41, a second authentication unit 63, a bidding permission unit 43, an authentication accuracy acquisition unit 44, and a landing progress information acquisition. A unit 45, a slide status display unit 46, and a communication unit 47. The bidding control unit 62 comprehensively controls the bidding of the purchase store operation terminal 20b based on the progress of the bid.

  The first authentication unit 61 performs login authentication of the participant. The 1st authentication part 61 may authenticate using not only biometric authentication but other information, such as a PIN code. Information used for authentication (registered template, personal identification number, etc.) may be acquired by making an inquiry to the slide control device 13b, or may be acquired from the IC card 33 via the IC card reader 27.

The first authenticating unit 61 acquires biometric information from the participant during login authentication of the participant, and registers the acquired biometric information as the registration template 34a.
Here, since the registered template 34a to be registered is acquired through the bidding switch 23 used for authentication on the day of the selection, the time difference, the individual difference of the sensor, etc. are eliminated, and the registered template used for the verification is used. It can be expected to be suitable.

  The second authentication unit 63 performs authentication at a predetermined timing during login of the participant. The second authentication unit 63 performs authentication by comparing the registration template 34a with the biometric information acquired from the bidding switch 23. At this time, the second authentication unit 63 obtains a verification threshold value for authentication during login from the authentication accuracy information 50 and performs verification.

  The slide control device 13 b includes a slide control unit 64 and a communication unit 49. The slip control unit 64 controls the overall progress of the slip. The slip control unit 64 manages information on the slip participants (members) including the password as member information 51b. The communication unit 49 communicates with the purchasing store operation terminal 20b and other devices (serider / adjuster operation terminal 15 and others).

  Next, an initial authentication process for performing login authentication of a participant will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a sequence diagram of an initial authentication process executed by the purchase shop operation terminal and the sliding control device according to the fourth embodiment. The initial authentication process is executed in step S12 of the general flow shown in FIG.

First, the purchase shop operation terminal 20b starts an initial authentication process.
[Step S101] The first authentication unit 61 (purchase shop operating terminal 20b) acquires member information and a password. For example, the first authentication unit 61 can acquire member information and a password by touch input using the touch panel 22. The first authentication unit 61 may acquire the member information and the password by other input methods such as key input using the numeric keypad 26, reading from the IC card 33 by the IC card reader 27, or a combination thereof. Good.

[Step S <b> 102] The first authentication unit 61 notifies the control apparatus 13 of the acquired member information and password.
[Step S <b> 103] The first authentication unit 61 acquires the notified member information and password authentication result from the slide control device 13. The first authentication unit 61 proceeds to step S104 if the authentication result is OK (success), and proceeds to step S106 if the authentication result is NG (failure).

[Step S <b> 104] The first authentication unit 61 acquires biometric information (palm vein pattern) from the bidding switch 23.
[Step S105] The first authentication unit 61 registers the acquired biometric information as the registration template 34a.

[Step S106] The first authentication unit 61 informs the person to be authenticated of the authentication result by display on the monitor 21, voice, or the like, and ends the initial authentication process.
On the other hand, the slide control device 13b makes it possible to obtain notification of member information and a password from the purchase shop operation terminal 20b, and starts the initial authentication process before the execution of step S102.

[Step S111] The slip control unit 64 (slip control device 13b) acquires member information and a password in response to a notification from the purchase shop operation terminal 20b.
[Step S112] The slide control unit 64 refers to the member information 51b and specifies a password corresponding to the member information acquired from the purchase shop operation terminal 20b. The line control unit 64 collates the password acquired from the store operation terminal 20b with the specified password.

[Step S113] The sliding control unit 64 notifies the purchase shop operation terminal 20b of the authentication result, and ends the initial authentication process.
In this way, the slide system 10b performs member authentication and use registration, and aims to use the purchasing store operation terminal 20b fairly. Further, the purchase shop operation terminal 20b can be expected to be able to cope with a wide range of authentication accuracy by reducing the risk of loss of the opportunity to participate due to the intermediate authentication failure by the intermediate authentication using the high-quality registration template 34a. Further, since the sari system 10b does not require biometric information template registration before the seri, the slog organizer's office work burden and the seri participant's burden are reduced.

  The above processing functions can be realized by a computer. In that case, a program describing the processing contents of the functions that the purchasing store operation terminal 20 (20a, 20b) and the sliding control devices 13 (13a, 13b), 14 should have is provided. By executing the program on a computer, the above processing functions are realized on the computer. The program describing the processing contents can be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium (including a portable recording medium). Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include a magnetic recording device, an optical disk, a magneto-optical recording medium, and a semiconductor memory. Examples of the magnetic recording device include a hard disk device (HDD), a flexible disk (FD), and a magnetic tape. Optical discs include DVD (Digital Versatile Disc), DVD-RAM, CD-ROM, CD-R (Recordable) / RW (ReWritable), and the like. Magneto-optical recording media include MO (Magneto-Optical disk).

  When distributing the program, for example, portable recording media such as a DVD and a CD-ROM in which the program is recorded are sold. It is also possible to store the program in a storage device of a server computer and transfer the program from the server computer to another computer via a network.

  The computer that executes the program stores, for example, the program recorded on the portable recording medium or the program transferred from the server computer in its own storage device. Then, the computer reads the program from its own storage device and executes processing according to the program. The computer can also read the program directly from the portable recording medium and execute processing according to the program. Further, each time the program is transferred from the server computer, the computer can sequentially execute processing according to the received program.

Note that various modifications can be made to the above-described embodiment without departing from the gist of the embodiment.
Further, the above-described embodiments can be modified and changed by those skilled in the art, and are not limited to the exact configurations and application examples described.
