Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To authenticate whether a user is truly an owner of a card by reading the user's fingerprint and collating it with the fingerprint data of a card owner which is preliminarily registered at a credit card management center online. SOLUTION: Data that is added to a credit card is sent to a credit card management center online when a clerk passes a credit card through a credit card reader having a fingerprint recognizing device at the time of paying merchandise with the credit card. The credit card management center searches fingerprint data which is registered in accordance with the credit card and sends it back to a device in a store online. Then, the fingerprint of the user of the credit card is taken by the device, and the fingerprint data is collated with the fingerprint data that is already registered. As a result of collation, the user of the credit card authenticates that he is the owner of the card in the case of coincidence.

[0003] In order to prevent theft of a credit card, in the case of performing payment of goods by a credit card, it is necessary to surely authenticate that the user of the credit card is the owner of the credit card. The present invention is an apparatus that can reliably authenticate a credit card user based on the fingerprint of the credit card user instead of the authentication of the credit card user using a self-written signature and a photograph, which has been vague in the past.

When a credit card is issued, fingerprint data of the credit card owner is registered and placed in a credit card management center. Assuming that one finger is injured and a fingerprint is destroyed, fingerprint data of a plurality of fingers can be registered. Then, the fingerprint recognition device is incorporated into a credit card reader located at a store. Before the user who intends to use the credit card signs, or in place of the sign, the fingerprint data of the credit card holder registered in the credit card management center in advance by reading the user's fingerprint by the device of the present invention. By verifying online with the user, the user who intends to use the credit card authenticates whether or not the user is indeed the owner of the credit card. The result of the authentication is transmitted to the user by a lamp or an audio device attached to the device of the present invention. Online fingerprint data verification is 2
There are two ways. One is that when a credit card is used, the fingerprint data registered in the credit card management center corresponding to the credit card is sent online to the credit card reading terminal at the store, and then the user input at the store is This is a method for collating with fingerprint data. Another method is to first take a user's fingerprint at the store using the apparatus of the present invention, send it to the credit card management center online, and return the result of authentication at the credit card management center to the store again. The former method reduces the number of communication times and can speed up the authentication, but the latter method does not send the fingerprint data registered in the credit card management center of the credit card owner, but sends it online while sending it. It has the advantage of not being lost.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a user who intends to use a credit card first pays a credit card to a store clerk when making a payment for a product by credit card. Then, when the clerk passes the credit card through the credit card reader with the fingerprint recognition device of the present invention, the data added to the credit card is sent online to the credit card management center. The credit card management center searches for the fingerprint data registered corresponding to the credit card, and then sends the fingerprint data online to the apparatus of the present invention at a store.
Then, the fingerprint of the credit card user is taken by the apparatus of the present invention, and this fingerprint data is collated with the already registered fingerprint data sent from the credit card management center. As a result of the verification, if they match, the credit card user authenticates that the card is the owner of the card. Conversely, if they do not match, the use of the credit card is prohibited. However, if the authentication cannot be performed due to the fingerprint identification accuracy of the device of the present invention and the manner of placing the user's finger, the authentication can be repeated many times.
