Therefore, in the face authentication device 1 provided in the gate device installed at the entrance of a multi-tenant building where multiple companies share the same building, processing conditions related to body temperature monitoring are set for each user group of each company. It may be Even within the same company, the need for body temperature monitoring differs depending on the department. Therefore, even in the face recognition device 1 installed at the entrance of an office or a conference room, processing conditions related to body temperature monitoring may be set for each user group such as a department.

In addition, in the present embodiment, in the body temperature determination for determining whether the body temperature is abnormal, the abnormal range is set based on the normal body temperature. set for each (see FIG. 9(C)). On the other hand, in addition to normal body temperature, the range of body temperature fluctuations also varies from person to person. Therefore, as a processing condition for body temperature monitoring, a predetermined value to be added to the normal temperature when setting a threshold value that is the lower limit value of the abnormal range in body temperature determination may be set for each user. The predetermined value to be added to the normal temperature may be specified by the user, or may be specified by the administrator.

Also, in the example shown in FIG. 13, the processing conditions for body temperature monitoring are set for each face authentication device 1, but the processing conditions for body temperature monitoring may be set for each user. The management terminal 4 displays a management screen for managing various information about users. On this management screen, it is possible to newly register or change information such as a user's face image or name. good.
