Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent illegal use and specify a user who leaves a terminal by registering and storing image data specifying the user together with a user identification code (user ID) and a password when the computer terminal user is registered. CONSTITUTION:A face photograph from which a person to be registered as a user of a computer terminal can clearly be judged is read by an input device 5 and the user ID and password of the person are inputted on a keyboard 4. Those data are displayed on a display 3 at the same time and it is judged whether the data correspond to the user or not; and the user ID, password, and three corresponding persons are registered as terminal user registration data in a storage device 6. Then the image data stored in the storage device 6 are retrieved by using a user ID inputted simultaneously with the input of a terminal use declaration command for computer terminal use and then displayed on the display 3.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a computer application technology, and more particularly to a display device in which a terminal is handled by an unspecified number of users.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art When using a computer, a "user identification code (hereinafter referred to as a user ID)" is entered to prevent unauthorized use of the computer, to charge a usage fee, and to identify the user before use. In addition, in order to confirm whether the person is who he is, he has entered the "password" and confirmed that the data matches the stored data on the computer before permitting the computer work.

[0003]

However, when the user ID and password are illegally obtained when the terminal is used and the computer is used, the person is illegally using it from the screen being used. It was not possible to determine whether it was an authorized user or not.

Further, when the user is away from the computer despite the use of the computer terminal, other users and facility managers cannot identify the user of the terminal, which is an emergency. There was a problem in operation and management, such as being unable to communicate at times.

An object of the present invention is to constantly display the image data of the terminal user on the display of the computer terminal, prevent unauthorized use of the computer terminal, and identify the user when the terminal is absent. Especially.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention registers and stores image data capable of identifying a user together with a user ID and a password when registering a computer terminal user. Means for reading the image data of the target user from the user ID and password input at the step of inputting the use procedure after turning on the power of the computer terminal; A means for displaying the image data of the user is taken.

[0007]

According to the above means, the image data for identifying the computer terminal user is stored in the storage device together with the computer user's "user ID" and "password" by the terminal user registration program. The image data stored in the storage device is characterized by being searched for by the user ID input at the same time when the terminal use declaration command is input at the time of using the computer terminal, and displayed on the display.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration example of a computer terminal user display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing an example of terminal user information registration, and FIGS.
3 is a flowchart showing an example of displaying terminal user information.
In FIG. 1, 1 is a central processing unit, 2 is an input / output control device, 3 is a display device such as a display, 4 is an input device such as a keyboard, 5 is an input device such as an image scanner, 6 is a terminal user registration program, A storage device that stores a terminal user display program, a terminal user display program, a terminal user information file (user identification code, password, image data), an application program, 7 is a working memory, 8 is a communication control device, and 9 is Indicates a communication line.

Next, the method of terminal user registration according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, the terminal user registration program is read from the storage device 6 into the working memory 7. Next, a face photograph that allows the person who should be registered as the user of the computer terminal to clearly determine is read by the input device (image scanner) 5 (201). This data is temporarily stored in the working memory 7 (202). Next, the user ID and password of the person is input from the keyboard 4 (203). Next, the image data stored in the working memory 7 is read out and displayed on the display 3 (2
04). At this time, the user ID and the password are simultaneously displayed on the display 3 so that the person and the user ID and the password can be easily associated with each other. The registrant of the terminal user determines whether the image data showing the person displayed on the display corresponds to the user ID and password, and inputs the determination result using the keyboard (205). When the determination result is the same, the process proceeds to 206, and the user ID, the password, and the corresponding image data are registered in the terminal user registration data in the storage device 6. If the determination results of 205 are not the same, the process proceeds to 207, a work re-doing instruction is output to the display 3, and the process returns to 201.

Next, a method of displaying terminal user information according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the power of the computer terminal is turned on (301). Next, a computer terminal use declaration command is input from the keyboard 4 (302). Next, the user ID is input from the keyboard 4 (303). Next, the user ID input by 303 is searched for in the terminal user information file in the storage device 6,
If it exists, the user ID and password are read into the work memory 7 (304). It is determined whether or not the user ID exists (305), and if it exists, the process proceeds to 306, and if it does not exist, an instruction to redo the work is displayed on the display 3 at 307, and the process returns to 303. At 306, a password input instruction is displayed on the display,
Based on this, the password is entered (308). Next, it is determined whether the user ID input in 303 and the password input in 308 match (309). If they do not match, the display 3 is instructed to redo the work at 310, and the process returns to 306. 30 if they match
The image data corresponding to the user ID input in 3 is retrieved from the terminal user information file in the storage device 6 and read into the working memory 7 (311). Next, the terminal user display program stored in the storage device 6 is loaded into the work memory 7
, And secures an area on the display 3 for displaying the image data corresponding to the user ID (31
2). The position that does not interfere with the computer work for securing the area and the size that the person can judge when the person image data is displayed are built in the terminal user display program in advance. Next, the image data corresponding to the user ID read in 311 is displayed on the area set by 312 (313). Next, use of the terminal is started (314). 313 after starting to use the terminal
The image data displayed in is always displayed on the display, and whether the actual user of the terminal matches the user corresponding to the user ID input when declaring the terminal use This can be confirmed by comparing the users of (Fig. 5).

[0012]

According to the present invention, since the image data of the facial photograph showing the person corresponding to the user ID used when declaring the usage of the terminal can be displayed on the usage display of the terminal, By comparing the person image data displayed on the display, it is possible to determine whether the actual user of the terminal and the user corresponding to the user ID input when declaring the terminal use match.
It is possible to prevent unauthorized use of the terminal.

Further, when the user is away from the desk despite the use of the computer terminal, the person image data displayed on the display may be viewed by other users or equipment managers. Terminal users can be identified, and there are operational and management advantages such as emergency contact.
