The finger to be shown is the middle finger of the right hand. Further, the finger vein information is “0x998877AABB”, and the password is “RS78211”.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of finger vein information registration processing in the present system. As shown in FIG. 4, the connection unit 1121 of the WebTV 112 connects to the biometric authentication device 111 according to the address entered by the resident from the remote control (S11). FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a screen example when connecting to the biometric authentication device 111 from the WebTV 112. As shown in FIG. 5, the information display means 1122 of the WebTV 112 displays various function menus provided in the WebTV 112 such as a TV function, a game function, and a finger vein registration function, and accepts selection of the finger vein registration function.

  In the biometric authentication device 111, the information creation unit 1111 creates a menu (finger vein information registration status, initialization, finger vein registration, finger vein information transmission, read finger vein information reception availability), and returns it to the WebTV 112 ( S12). FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an example of the menu described above. As shown in FIG. 5, a menu for selecting confirmation, initialization, registration, and transmission / reception of finger vein information registration status is displayed, and the resident selects the menu by an operation from a remote controller or the like. Hereinafter, a case where the finger vein information registration menu is selected will be described.

  The finger vein information registration status is, for example, a menu for confirming finger vein information registered when a plurality of people such as family members use this system. The initialization is a menu for clearing the finger vein information of the resident when the resident moves from the apartment 1 to another residence, for example. The finger vein registration is a menu for registering finger vein information in this system. The transmission of finger vein information is a menu for transmitting registered finger vein information to the data center 2 and holding it in the service providing unit 211. The user selects this menu after registering finger vein information in this system, and deposits the registered finger vein information in the data center 2. Whether or not the reading finger vein information can be received means that the finger vein information held in the data center 2 is received when the resident user moves from the apartment 1 provided with the current biometric authentication device 111 by moving or the like. This is a menu for registering finger vein information in the biometric authentication device at the new location. The registration unit 1114 of the biometric authentication device 111 at the new location instructs a request for finger vein information (FIG. 3) held by the service providing unit 211 of the data center 2 according to the instruction from the WebTV 112, and transmits biometric information from the service providing unit 211. The means 2113 transmits the finger vein information of the user to the biometric authentication device 111 at the new location. The registration unit 1114 of the biometric authentication device 111 stores the received finger vein information in the information holding unit 1112. The biometric information transmission unit 2113 specifies the finger vein information of the user by using, for example, a user ID and a password, and transmits the finger vein information. By performing such processing, it is possible to continue using finger vein information that has been registered once without re-registering it, and it is not necessary to re-register finger vein information that accompanies moving or the like.

  The information display unit 1122 accepts selection of finger vein information registration from a menu displayed on the WebTV 112 by the resident (S13). The biometric authentication device 111 returns the biometric information registration information input screen created by the information creation unit 1111 to the WebTV 112 (S14). FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a biometric information registration information input screen. As shown in FIG. 7, the biometric information registration information input screen is provided with input fields for a temporary user ID, a registration attribute, and a password. The resident designates a temporary user ID (for example, 423101 if the condominium is the first person in room 42, 31st room 31), a registration attribute (right middle finger), and a password (RS78211) on the screen displayed on the WebTV 112, and selects a registration button (S15). . In the case of a family of four, the temporary user IDs are from 423101 to 423104, and the respective registration attributes and passwords are input.

  The biometric reading unit 1115 of the biometric authentication device 111 generates a user ID with unique information (for example, attribute information for identifying the biometric authentication terminal 11) added to the user ID, and adds a biometric type (finger vein). Finger vein information is read (S16).

  When the resident's finger can be read, the biometric reading unit 1115 performs re-reading a specified number of times until the finger vein information is successfully read (S17). If the finger vein information has been successfully read (S17; Yes), the information holding means 1112 stores the temporary user ID, the generated user ID, the registered attribute, and the password in association with each other (S18). Finally, the biometric information transmission unit 1119 of the biometric authentication device 111 notifies the registration success together with the created user ID to the WebTV 112, and the information display unit 1122 of the WebTV 112 displays a registration completion screen.

  In addition, the structure which produces | generates temporary user ID and the production | generation of a password automatically by the information preparation means 1111 in (S14) is also possible. In this case, it is more useful to register the room information in the apartment in advance.

  In this embodiment, the finger vein information is stored in the data center 2. However, for example, the storage destination may be a telephone exchange (base station that stores finger vein information together with a telephone number). In this case, since the resident needs to change the telephone number when moving, the finger vein information is also deleted once according to the moving, and the system is accessed again by operating the WebTV 112 at the new address, and a new phone call is made. The finger vein information may be registered together with the number.

  In this way, since the processing described above is executed in this system, the finger vein information user can register with the biometric information storage device at the location where the finger vein information is used, and a location different from the registered location (for example, an apartment Finger vein information can be used in hotels and other accommodations. Furthermore, it is possible to register the biometric information storage device at the place where the finger vein information is used in units of organizations such as families and companies that use the finger vein information. The same finger vein information can also be used in the coin lending machine of the center, and personal authentication can be performed extremely conveniently for registered customers of finger vein information.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and includes various modifications. For example, the means of each apparatus shown in FIG. 2 may be configured by one means. In addition, an instruction such as registration of finger vein information is given from the WebTV 112, but it may be realized by an information processing apparatus such as a PC, a smartphone, or a touch pad connected to the network. Further, the authentication device 311 and the lending coin device 312 provided in the game center 3 may be one housing. Note that the means for executing the processing described above in the present embodiment is actually realized by an arithmetic device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit) executing a program.
