0). Here, the finger candidate name is associated with the finger code on a one-to-one basis.

If the user selects a candidate name, that is, a finger code, a message prompting to place a finger, such as "Please place a finger", is displayed on the display device 14 (step S122). The user's finger is placed on the reading sheet 28 (step S124).

When the user's finger is placed, the fingerprint pattern of the finger is read by the fingerprint reader 26 (step S126), and the read fingerprint pattern is provided in the RAM 18 as shown in FIG. The selected fingerprint code is stored in the fingerprint pattern table in association with the selected finger code (step S128).

Then, it is determined whether or not the processing has been completed for all finger codes (step S130). If not, the process returns to step S118. In FIG. 5A, the finger code is up to “5” because one hand is assumed, but in the case where both hands are supported,
Up to “10”.

When the processing for all the finger codes is completed, the contents of the fingerprint pattern table are written to the IC card 32 as a security card (step S132).

Next, the operation when a user's finger is placed on the reading sheet 28 will be described with reference to FIG. That is,
In this case, first, a fingerprint pattern is read by the fingerprint reader 26 (step S200). And CPU1
It is determined whether or not a flag (not shown) provided inside the RAM 0 or in the RAM 18 is set (step S202).
This flag is reset when the personal computer is turned on.

If the flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the IC card 32 as a security card is present (step S204). If the IC card 32 is not inserted, the message "insert security card" is displayed on the display device 14. A message prompting the user to insert an IC card is displayed (step S206), and the operation corresponding to the finger operation is terminated.

On the other hand, if there is an IC card 32,
The C card reader 30 sequentially reads out each fingerprint pattern as a security pattern stored in the security ID table in the IC card 32, and compares each security pattern with the read fingerprint pattern (step S208). Then, the closest security pattern is selected (step S210), and it is determined whether or not the degree of coincidence between the selected security pattern and the read fingerprint pattern is 99% or more (step S212). If it does not reach 99%, an error is displayed on the display device 14 (step S21).
4), the operation corresponding to the finger operation ends.

If the match is 99% or more, the individual name corresponding to the selected security pattern is read from the security ID table in the IC card 32 by the IC card reader 30 and displayed on the display device 14. (Step S216) and the corresponding individual I
D is specified (step S218). Then, the fingerprint pattern table and the function code table corresponding to the specified personal ID are read from the IC card 32 by the IC card reader 30, and written into the RAM 18 (step S220). Thereafter, the flag is set (step S222), and the operation according to the finger operation is completed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S202 that the flag is set,
Next, as described above, the IC card 32 transfers the RAM 18
By selecting the pattern closest to the read fingerprint pattern from the fingerprint pattern table corresponding to the user copied to the user, a finger code corresponding to the pattern is obtained (step S224), and the current mode is changed. It is acquired (step S226). And RAM1
The function code corresponding to the selected pattern, that is, the finger code in the acquired current mode is read out from the function code table corresponding to the user copied in step 8 (step S228), and the function code is issued (step S230). ). After that, the operation according to the finger operation ends.

The ID card 32 storing the security ID table and the fingerprint pattern table and the function code table for each ID may be owned by an individual, or may be shared by several persons as a group card. It is also possible. In the present embodiment, in order to deal with the latter, the fingerprint pattern table and the function code table corresponding to the personal ID specified by the security check are read into the RAM 18 so that the IC card 3
2 can be removed from the personal computer. That is, since the IC card 32 is required only at the time of the first security check, even if a plurality of persons share the IC card 32, the number of cases where the IC card 32 is required simultaneously can be reduced.

As described above, in the first embodiment,
If there are a large number of selection candidates, by assigning selection information to each finger, a desired selection can be made immediately by simply touching the finger on the sheet 28, that is, the fingerprint detection surface.

As shown in FIG. 5C, by registering fingerprint patterns of a plurality of finger surfaces of one finger, it is possible to replace a plurality of fingers. In this way, even if the finger to be operated is specified as a single finger, the finger has a plurality of surfaces, and by using these, it is possible to immediately perform desired selection information from among a plurality of selection information. . Of course, using multiple finger faces for each of the multiple fingers allows for more choices.

[Second Embodiment] Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.
An embodiment will be described. In this embodiment, when a plurality of fingers touch the reading sheet 28 sequentially or simultaneously,
The function codes to be issued are selected in accordance with the order and the type and number of fingers touched at the same time.

Therefore, in this embodiment, an order table and a simultaneous operation table as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 are further provided. That is, the order table stores the function codes in association with the detection order of the finger codes corresponding to the plurality of detected fingerprint patterns, and the simultaneous operation table stores the plurality of detected The simultaneous number is stored in association with the finger code corresponding to the fingerprint pattern. These order table and simultaneous operation table are created instead of the function code table and stored in the IC card 32 at the time of initial setting as in the first embodiment, and are stored in the RAM 18 after the security check is completed. Be copied.

Next, the operation according to the first finger operation after the security check in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. That is, first, it is determined whether or not a plurality of fingers are simultaneously touching the reading sheet 28 (step S3).
00) If one finger is not touched, the timer (not shown) is reset once to start timing (step S302), and the fingerprint reader 26 reads the fingerprint pattern of the finger on the reading sheet 28 by the fingerprint reader 26. Read (Step S
304). Then, a finger code corresponding to the read pattern is selected from the fingerprint pattern table corresponding to the user copied to the RAM 18 (step S30).
6), and store it in a code order register (not shown) provided inside the CPU 10 or in the RAM 18 (step S308).
Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the next finger is placed on the reading sheet 28 (step S310). If the next finger is placed, the process returns to step S302.

If the timer is not set, it is determined whether or not the timer has counted a predetermined time (step S312). If the timer has not been counted, the process returns to step S310.

When the timer finishes counting the predetermined time, whether the code order corresponding to the order of the finger codes stored in the code order register exists in the order table corresponding to the user copied to the RAM 18. It is determined whether it is (step S314). If not in the order table,
An error such as a beep is reported as an error (step S316), and the process ends.

If there is a matching code order, the corresponding function code is selected from the order table (step S318), the function code is issued (step S320), and the process is terminated.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S300 that a plurality of fingers are simultaneously touching the reading sheet 28, the fingerprint reader 26 first detects the number of fingers on the reading sheet 28 (step S300). Step S32
2) The fingerprint patterns corresponding to the detected number are read, and the finger codes corresponding to the read patterns are stored in the RAM 18.
Is selected from the fingerprint pattern table corresponding to the user copied to the user (step S32). Then, R is determined by the detected number of coincidences and the read finger code patterns.
The simultaneous operation table corresponding to the user copied to the AM 18 is searched (step S326).

As a result, if there is a match (step S328), the process proceeds to step S318, and if not, the process proceeds to step S316. That is, if there is a match, the corresponding function code is selected from the simultaneous operation table (step S318), and the function code is issued (step S320). For example, error notification such as a beep sound is performed (step S316).

In the second embodiment, the function code selected according to the mode may be changed, as in the first embodiment.

[0044]

According to the first and tenth aspects of the present invention, a plurality of fingerprint patterns are stored, and by checking which fingerprint pattern has been detected, selection processing corresponding to the fingerprint pattern is performed. Thus, when there are a large number of selection candidates, by assigning selection information to each finger, a desired selection can be made immediately by simply touching the finger with the fingerprint detection surface.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the plurality of fingerprint patterns are used as the fingerprint patterns of the respective fingers, it is possible to select as many as the number of fingers of the user. According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the order in which different fingers are touched is detected and the selection process corresponding to the order is performed, a greater number of selections can be made by adding the elements of the order. Become.

According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the type and number of fingers that are simultaneously touched are detected, and selection processing is performed in accordance with the detection result. By taking into account the elements, more choices are possible.

According to the fifth aspect of the present invention, since the plurality of fingerprint patterns are fingerprint patterns on different surfaces of one finger, even if the operated finger is specified as one finger, Has a plurality of planes, and by using these, it is possible to immediately perform desired selection information from among a plurality of selection information.

According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, fingerprint information for a plurality of persons is stored, and when searching for a fingerprint pattern by touching a finger, specific information (personal information, group Information), the range of fingerprint search is limited based on the information. Therefore, even when the device is shared and used by multiple persons, when searching for the fingerprint pattern, the specific information input separately is used. Since the range of fingerprint search is limited, speedy search is possible.

According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, since it is possible to arbitrarily set to which fingerprint pattern various selection information is to be allocated, the user can allocate the selection information which is frequently used by himself / herself. Performance can be improved.

According to the eighth and eleventh aspects of the present invention,
Before the security check, the security check is performed using the read fingerprint pattern, and after the security check is approved, the function selection is performed based on the read fingerprint pattern. This can be done simply by touching the fingerprint detection surface.

According to the ninth aspect of the present invention, since the fingerprint pattern collation for the security check and the fingerprint pattern collation for the function selection are made different, the security check is strict. In the case where the collation is performed and a function selection in which an erroneous operation does not cause a large problem is performed, the speed can be increased by performing the determination at a low collation level.
