The present invention relates to an authentication program and a program recording medium.

  Traditionally, in stores with membership systems such as department stores, retail stores, drug stores, rental video stores, etc., the member authentication of the user (purchaser) when shopping or renting products etc. is presented as a membership card etc. It was mostly done by. Some membership card cards are given a photo of the user's face, a signature, etc. In this case, the member authentication uses the member's face photo image given to the membership card and the user's face. This is done by visually comparing and confirming, or by having the user sign on a predetermined sheet or receipt and comparing it with the signature given to the membership card.

  However, with these methods, the membership card is stolen or lost, and the face photo image or signature attached to the membership card is forged or tampered with. There is a problem that it can be easily abused by other people.

Therefore, a method has been proposed in which member information is bar-coded as a membership card, stored on the member's mobile phone terminal as image data, and this image data and member data stored in advance on the server are collated to perform member authentication. (See Patent Document 1). However, even with the method of Patent Document 1, there still remains a drawback that barcodes can be easily copied, counterfeited, tampered with, and the like, as in the case of the above membership card. There has been a problem that forgery or tampering has been done and others have impersonated members and can easily be misused by people other than members.

Member authentication is performed, and / or when the user correctly calls the mobile terminal 101 with a camera, the member is authenticated as a correct member.

  In this embodiment shown in FIG. 1, information transmitted to the user's camera-equipped mobile terminal 101 by e-mail for membership authentication notifies the camera-equipped mobile terminal 101 that the member information has been received. As an example of receiving notification, the member information received by the information confirmation terminal 103 is transmitted as user authentication information. However, the present invention is not limited to such a case. If the user can authenticate that he / she has received the correct member information, the user is notified of any information to the camera-equipped mobile terminal 101 held by the user. It doesn't matter.

  Also, as a reception notification means for member authentication, the user makes a telephone call to the camera-equipped mobile terminal 101 and confirms that the user has correctly called the camera-equipped mobile terminal 101. At the time of authentication, it is also possible to confirm that the user has received correct member information with the store clerk by voice response by telephone.

  Further, in the present embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a member authentication server for registering information related to user member authentication in advance is an authentication server 105 for registering at least a member ID, a membership card application program, and a membership card application program ID. The information server 106 registers member information corresponding to the member ID together with the member ID, and the mobile terminal 101, the information confirmation terminal 103, and the authentication server 105 are connected to each other via a first network 110, for example, a public network. 105 shows an example in which the information server 106 and the information server 106 are connected by a second network 111 that cannot be connected from the first network 110, for example, a dedicated local network.

  As a result, for example, even when the first network 110 is configured by a public network used by an unspecified number of users, a situation in which important member information of users is inadvertently leaked. Is prevented. The first network 110 and the second network 111 may be, for example, a public network such as a PSTN network or the Internet, a local network such as a PBX network, an intranet, or a local LAN.
