Definitions
- This disclosure relates to an authentication system, an authentication method, and a program.
- Patent Document 1 biometric information of a user input from a terminal in a facility is stored in a storage unit, and when the user uses a service in the facility, biometric authentication is performed using the biometric information. It describes a system that For example, Patent Literature 2 describes a system that enables biometric authentication using the user's biometric information within the facility when the user checks in to the facility using his/her own terminal.
- Patent Documents 1 and 2 spoofing becomes possible when multiple users with similar biometric information (for example, multiple users with similar faces) are in the same facility. For example, if user A's biometric information is similar to user B's biometric information and user A and user B are in the same facility, user A may be authenticated as user B. Conversely, user B may be authenticated as user A. Therefore, the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 allow spoofing by a malicious third party, and security is not sufficient. This point is the same when the techniques of Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are applied to authentication other than biometric authentication. Conventional technologies do not provide sufficient security.
- One of the purposes of this disclosure is to enhance security.

- FIG. the data storage unit 100 stores a user database DB1 and a check-in database DB2.
- FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of data storage in the user database DB1.
- the user database DB1 is a database that stores information about users U who have registered to use the check-in service.
- the user database DB1 stores the user ID, password, code ID, expiration date of the code ID, name, face photograph, face feature amount, passcode, and other user U with a similar face.
- a user ID is stored.
- a record corresponding to this user U is created in the user database DB1, and information such as the user ID of this user U is stored.
- a user ID is information that can identify a user U.
- the user U may be identified by information referred to by other names instead of the user ID.
- user U may be identified by a user account or other information such as an email address.
- the password is authentication information for logging into the check-in service.

- a code ID is issued at an arbitrary timing and stored in the user database DB1.
- a known rule can be applied to the code ID issuance rule itself.
- the server 10 issues the code ID so as not to duplicate the code ID of another user U within the expiration date.
- the code ID is updated when an application for displaying the code C is activated on the user terminal 20, when a certain period of time has passed since the code C was displayed, or when the user U performs a predetermined operation. be.
- the validity period of the code ID is set to the time after a predetermined time (for example, about 5 to 30 minutes) after the code ID is generated. The code ID does not have to have an expiration date.
- a facial photograph is an image of the user U's face.
- the user U takes an image of his or her own face with the imaging unit 26 of the user terminal 20 and uploads the photograph of the face to the server 10 .
- the facial photograph may be pre-stored in the user terminal 20 or another computer.
- the facial feature amount is information obtained by digitizing facial features.
- the face feature amount indicates features such as the relative position, size, or shape of facial parts.
- the feature amount of the face indicated by the photograph of the face is calculated in advance, but the feature amount of the face may be calculated on the spot at the time of authentication.
- the feature amount of the face registered in the user database DB1 is authentication information that is correct in face authentication.
- face authentication can use methods such as principal component analysis, linear discriminant analysis, elastic matching, or hidden Markov models.
- the facial feature amount may be calculated by a formula corresponding to these methods.
- facial features are represented by multidimensional vectors.
- the format of face feature amounts is not limited to vectors.
- Facial features may be represented in other forms such as arrays or single numerical values.
- face authentication facial feature amounts of each of a plurality of face photographs may be used.
- so-called 3D face authentication may be used.
- the passcode registered in the user database DB1 is the correct information for passcode authentication.
- the number of digits of the passcode may be the same for all users U, or may be arbitrarily specified by the user U. For example, the passcode may be about 2 to 8 digits.
- the passcode may be specified by the user U, or may be automatically generated by the authentication system S. It is assumed that passcodes are restricted so that users U with similar faces do not have the same passcode. For example, when a certain user A designates a passcode at the time of use registration or at any time thereafter, the server 10 refers to the user database DB1 and registers the same passcode for a user B who looks similar to the user A. determine whether or not
- “Faces are similar” means that the difference in facial features is less than the threshold.
- similarity of facial features corresponds to similarity of faces.
- distances in the vector space correspond to differences in facial features.
- an index indicating similarity between facial feature amounts being less than a threshold corresponds to similarity of faces.
- the server Register the passcode in the user database DB1.
- the server 10 does not register the passcode specified by the user A in the user database DB1 when the passcode specified by the user A and the registered passcode of the user B match. In this case, the server 10 prompts the user A to specify another passcode.
- the user IDs of other users U with similar faces are also stored in each user U record.
- the server 10 based on the facial feature amount of each user U and the facial feature amounts of other users U, at an arbitrary timing such as when the user U is registered for use or when the face photo is updated. identify a combination of users U similar to each other. Based on this identification result, the server 10 stores the user IDs of other users U with similar faces in the user database DB1.
- the user U with the user ID "taro.yamada123” and the user U with the user ID “yoshida111jiro” have similar faces. Therefore, the record with the user ID “taro.yamada123” stores “yoshida111jiro” as the user ID of another user U with a similar face. The record with the user ID “yoshida111jiro” stores "taro.yamada123” as the user ID of another user U with a similar face. The user U with the user ID “hanako999” does not have another user U whose face is similar.
- FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of data storage in the check-in database DB2.

- a new record corresponding to the user U is added to the check-in database DB2.
- the user ID, facial features, and passcode stored in this record are the same as those stored in the user database DB1.
- the check-in date and time stores the current date and time when the check-in was executed. These processes are executed by the check-in unit 101, which will be described later.
- the passcode authentication flag is a flag that indicates whether passcode authentication is required.
- passcode authentication is required for user U whose passcode authentication flag is "1".
- a user U whose passcode authentication flag is "0" does not require passcode authentication.
- the passcode authentication flag becomes "1". If this user ID does not exist, or if another user U indicated by this user ID has not checked in, the passcode authentication flag becomes "0".
- the first place P1 is not limited to the place where the office building is located as described in FIGS. 2 and 3, and may be any place.
- the first place P1 may be a place with facilities such as accommodation facilities, tourist facilities, public facilities, event venues, department stores, shopping malls, stadiums, airports, or train stations.

- Check-in means detecting that the user U is at or has arrived at the first place P1. Identifying the user U who is at or has come to the first place P1 corresponds to check-in. Identifying the first place P1 where the user U is or came corresponds to check-in. For example, storing information about the user U who is at or has come to the first place P1 in the check-in database DB2 corresponds to check-in. For example, sending information about the user U to the check-in terminal 30 or the authentication terminal 40 at the first place P1 where the user U came from corresponds to check-in.
- the check-in terminal 30 transmits its own terminal ID and the code ID included in the code C to the server 10.
- the check-in section 101 allows the user U identified by this code ID to check in at the first location P1.

- the check-in section 101 causes the user U to check out from the first location P1 by deleting the record storing the acquired user ID from the check-in database DB2.
- the check-in unit 101 sets the passcode authentication flag of another user U whose face resembles that of the user U to "0". However, if there is another user U whose face is similar to that of the other user U and they are checking in, the passcode authentication flag does not become "0".
- the first authentication unit 102 can perform face authentication for the first user U1 when the first user U1 is at or comes to the first place P1. Face authentication for the first user U1 is face authentication for identity verification of the first user U1.

- modification 3-5 when the first user U1 designates another authentication, a notification is sent to the first user U1 urging not to perform the first authentication at the first location P1. This prevents the first user U1 and the second user U2 from becoming indistinguishable from each other, and ensures the execution of identity verification, thereby enhancing security.
- the second user U2 may be at or will be at the first location P1 at a second scheduled date and time on the same day as the first scheduled date and time. That is, the first user U1 and the second user U2 are scheduled to come to the first place P1 on the same day, but at slightly different times. For example, the time when the first user U1 comes to the first place P1 and the time when the second user U2 comes to the first place P2 are different by several minutes to half a day.
- the authentication system S instructs the first user U1 to perform face authentication at the first location P1 on the first scheduled date and time, and to be at the first location P1 at a different time on the same day as the first scheduled date and time.
- the second transmission unit 114 may further include a second transmission unit 114 that transmits a notification prompting the use of other authentication, if any.
- this notification can be sent in any manner. This notification will not be sent if the first user U1 has booked a seminar on a different day than the second user U2.
- This notification includes a message indicating that face authentication will be performed only at the time the user arrives at the first location P1 or within a predetermined time period from that time. Also, this notification includes a message indicating that if the user comes to the first location P1 outside of this period, authentication other than face authentication will be performed.
- the first user U1 uses other authentication methods such as passcode authentication or code authentication.
- the first user U1 is asked to perform face authentication at the first location P1 on the first scheduled date and time, and to be at the first location P1 at another time on the same day as the first scheduled date and time. Or send a notification prompting to use other authentication if it comes. This prevents the first user U1 and the second user U2 from being indistinguishable from each other, and ensures the execution of identity verification, thereby enhancing security.
- the authentication system S determines whether the second user U2 was at the second place P2 or Prediction for predicting a prediction period during which the second user U2 will not or will not be at the first location P1 based on at least one of second time information about the second time of arrival and second location information about the second location P2.
- a portion 106 may also be included.
- the prediction unit 106 is as described in the second embodiment.
- the prediction unit 106 calculates the distance between the first location P1 and the second location P2 based on the first location information and the second location information regarding the first location P1. and predict the prediction period based on the second time information and the travel time according to the distance.
- the prediction method of the prediction period as described in the second embodiment can be used.
- the processing execution unit 105 When it is determined that the second user U2 is at or will come to the first place P1 on the first scheduled date or the first scheduled date and time, the processing execution unit 105 performs a check based on face authentication performed during the prediction period. run in. In the second embodiment, whether or not the second user U2 is present or will come to the first location P1 on the first scheduled date or the first scheduled date and time is a condition for whether or not to perform check-in. different from Other points of the processing execution unit 105 are as described in the second embodiment.

- This prevents the first user U1 and the second user U2 from being indistinguishable from each other, and ensures the execution of identity verification, thereby enhancing security.
- it is possible to prevent the second user U2 from impersonating the first user U1 and checking in. Since the first user U1 can check in only by facial recognition within the prediction period, the convenience of the first user U1 is enhanced. Also, in this case, since there is no need to perform passcode authentication, the processing load on the authentication system S can be reduced.
- the authentication system S acquires the distance between the first location P1 and the second location P2 based on the first location information and the second location information regarding the first location P1, and obtains the second time information, By predicting the prediction period based on the travel time according to the distance, the prediction period can be accurately predicted.

図1は、認証システムの全体構成の一例を示す図である。図1に示すように、認証システムSは、サーバ10、ユーザ端末20、チェックイン端末30、及び認証端末40を含む。サーバ10、ユーザ端末20、チェックイン端末30、及び認証端末40の各々は、インターネット等のネットワークNに接続可能である。認証システムSは、少なくとも1つのコンピュータを含めばよい。認証システムSに含まれるコンピュータは、図1の例に限られない。例えば、サーバ10、ユーザ端末20、チェックイン端末30、及び認証端末40の各々は、複数台あってもよい。
第1実施形態では、ユーザが所定の場所にいる又は来たことを検知するチェックインサービスに、認証システムSを適用する場合を例に挙げる。認証システムSは、種々のサービスに適用可能である。他のサービスへの適用例は、後述の変形例で説明する。例えば、ユーザは、勤務先の企業が入居するオフィスビルがある場所にチェックインする。ユーザは、この場所にチェックインした後に、自身が勤務する企業の部屋に入る。以降、この場所を、第1場所と記載する。
図4は、第1実施形態の認証システムSで実現される機能の一例を示す機能ブロック図である。なお、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2を区別しない時は、単にユーザUと記載する。第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2以外の者も想定する時も、単にユーザUと記載する。
図4に示すように、サーバ10では、データ記憶部100、チェックイン部101、第1認証部102、第2認証部103、第2ユーザ判定部104、及び処理実行部105が実現される。データ記憶部100は、記憶部12を主として実現される。他の各機能は、制御部11を主として実現される。
データ記憶部100は、認証システムSにおける処理に必要なデータを記憶する。例えば、データ記憶部100は、ユーザデータベースDB1と、チェックインデータベースDB2と、を記憶する。
チェックイン部101は、複数のユーザUの各々を、第1場所P1にチェックインさせる。例えば、チェックイン部101は、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1にいる又は来た場合に、第1ユーザU1を第1場所P1にチェックインさせる。チェックイン部101は、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来た場合に、第2ユーザU2を第1場所P1にチェックインさせる。第1場所P1にいるとは、第1場所P1に来てからある程度の時間が経過していることを意味する。第1場所P1にいることと第1場所P1に滞在することは同じ意味である。第1場所P1に来たとは、他の場所から第1場所P1に移動したことを意味する。第1場所P1に来ることと第1場所P1を訪れることは同じ意味である。
第1認証部102は、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1にいる又は来た場合に、第1ユーザU1に関する顔認証を実行可能である。第1ユーザU1に関する顔認証とは、第1ユーザU1の本人確認のための顔認証である。第1実施形態では、第1場所P1へのチェックインが発生するので、第1場所P1にチェックイン済みであることは、第1場所P1にいることに相当する。第1場所P1にチェックインすることは、第1場所P1に来たことに相当する。
第2認証部103は、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1にいる又は来た場合に、第1ユーザU1に関するパスコード認証を実行可能である。第1実施形態では、第1場所P1へのチェックインが実行されるので、第2認証部103は、第1ユーザU1がチェックイン済みの第1場所P1にいる場合に、パスコード認証を実行可能である。
第2ユーザ判定部104は、顔認証で第1ユーザU1として認証される可能性がある第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たか否かを判定する。第1実施形態では、顔認証が利用されるので、第1ユーザU1と顔が似ていることは、顔認証で第1ユーザU1として認証される可能性があることに相当する。
処理実行部105は、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たと判定されない場合に、第1認証に基づいて、第1ユーザU1に関する第1処理を実行する。第1処理は、第1認証が成功した場合に許可される処理である。第1処理は、第1認証を成功させたユーザUに関する何らかの情報を利用して実行される処理であってもよい。第1実施形態では、部屋X~Zのドアのロックを解除するロック解除処理が第1処理に相当する場合を説明する。このため、ロック解除処理について説明している箇所は、第1処理と読み替えることができる。第1処理は、任意の処理であってよい。第1処理の他の例は、後述の変形例で説明する。例えば、第1処理は、電子決済サービスにおける決済処理であってもよい。
図4に示すように、ユーザ端末20では、データ記憶部200と、表示制御部201と、が実現される。データ記憶部200は、記憶部22を主として実現される。表示制御部201は、制御部21を主として実現される。
データ記憶部200は、チェックインに必要なデータを記憶する。例えば、データ記憶部200は、チェックインアプリと、コードIDと、を記憶する。ユーザ端末20は、サーバ10により発行されたコードIDを受信して自身のデータ記憶部200に記録する。ユーザ端末20は、コードIDの有効期限も受信した場合には、有効期限も自身のデータ記憶部200に記録する。
表示制御部201は、コードCを表示部25に表示させる。例えば、表示制御部201は、チェックインアプリに基づいて、コードIDを含むコードCを表示可能である。表示制御部201は、データ記憶部200に記憶されたコードIDをコード化し、コードCを表示させる。
図4に示すように、チェックイン端末30では、データ記憶部300、受付部301、及び送信部302が実現される。データ記憶部300は、記憶部32を主として実現される。他の各機能は、制御部31を主として実現される。
データ記憶部300は、チェックインに必要なデータを記憶する。例えば、データ記憶部300は、チェックイン端末30を識別可能な端末IDと、サーバ10を識別可能な情報と、を記憶する。他にも例えば、データ記憶部300は、チェックイン端末30が配置された場所を識別可能な情報を記憶してもよい。
受付部301は、任意の操作を受け付ける。受付部301により受け付けられた操作の内容は、送信部302によりサーバ10に送信される。
送信部302は、サーバ10に、チェックインに必要な情報を送信する。例えば、送信部302は、チェックイン端末30により取得されたコードIDを送信する。第1実施形態では、ユーザ端末20のデータ記憶部200にコードIDが記録されているので、送信部302は、ユーザ端末20に記録されたコードIDを取得する。例えば、第1実施形態では、送信部302は、コードCがチェックイン端末30で読み取られた場合に、コードIDを取得する。チェックイン端末30は、コードIDを取得するための端末であればよく、コードIDの取得方法に応じた端末であればよい。
図4に示すように、認証端末40では、データ記憶部400、受付部401、及び送信部402が実現される。データ記憶部400は、記憶部42を主として実現される。他の各機能は、制御部41を主として実現される。
データ記憶部400は、認証に必要なデータを記憶する。例えば、データ記憶部400は、認証端末40を識別可能な端末IDと、サーバ10を識別可能な情報と、を記憶する。他にも例えば、データ記憶部400は、認証端末40が配置された場所を識別可能な情報を記憶してもよい。
受付部401は、パスコードの入力を受け付ける。受付部401は、他の任意の操作を受付可能である。受付部401により受け付けられた操作の内容は、送信部402によりサーバ10に送信される。
送信部402は、サーバ10に、顔認証及びパスコード認証の各々に必要な情報を送信する。例えば、送信部402は、サーバ10に、認証端末40の撮影部46により撮影された撮影画像を送信する。サーバ10が顔の特徴量を計算するのではなく、認証端末40が顔の特徴量を計算してもよい。この場合、送信部402は、サーバ10に、認証端末40により計算された顔の特徴量を送信する。例えば、送信部402は、サーバ10に、受付部401が入力を受け付けたパスコードを送信する。
図7は、第1実施形態の認証システムSで実行される処理の一例を示すフロー図である。図7に示す処理は、制御部11,21,31,41の各々が記憶部12,22,32,42の各々に記憶されたプログラムに従って動作することによって実行される。図7の処理は、図4の機能ブロックにより実行される処理の一例である。図7の処理が実行されるにあたり、ユーザUは利用登録を済ませているものとする。なお、図7では、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2を区別せず、単にユーザUと記載する。
次に、認証システムSの第2実施形態を説明する。第1実施形態では、第2ユーザU2が第1ユーザU1と同じ場所にチェックインする場合を例に挙げた。第2実施形態では、第2ユーザU2が第1ユーザU1とは異なる場所にチェックインする場合を例に挙げる。なお、第2実施形態では、第1実施形態と同様の内容は、説明を省略する。
図8及び図9は、第2実施形態の認証システムSの一例を示す図である。第2実施形態では、第2ユーザU2は、第1ユーザU1と同じ企業に勤務するものとする。この企業は、第1場所P1にある第1オフィスビルと、第2場所P2にある第2オフィスビルと、の各々に入居している。第1場所P1及び第2場所P2の各々には、第1実施形態と同様のセキュリティゲートGが配置されている。
図10は、第2実施形態の認証システムSで実現される機能の一例を示す機能ブロック図である。図10に示すように、サーバ10では、データ記憶部100、チェックイン部101、第1認証部102、第2認証部103、処理実行部105、予測部106、及び第1制限部107が実現される。予測部106及び第1制限部107の各々は、制御部11を主として実現される。
データ記憶部100は、第1実施形態と概ね同様のデータを記憶するが、チェックインデータベースDB2の内容が第1実施形態とは異なる。なお、データ記憶部100は、第1場所P1及び第2場所P2に関するデータベースを記憶してもよい。このデータベースには、第1場所P1に関する第1場所情報と、第2場所P2に関する第2場所情報と、が格納されているものとする。これらの位置は、任意の情報によって特定可能であり、例えば、緯度経度情報、住所、郵便番号、座標情報、又はこれらの組み合わせによって特定可能である。第2実施形態では、第1場所情報が第1場所P1の緯度経度情報であり、第2場所情報が第2場所P2の緯度経度情報である場合を説明する。
チェックイン部101、第1認証部102、及び第2認証部103は、第1実施形態と概ね同様であるが、第1認証部102による顔認証と、第2認証部103によるパスコード認証と、の各々は、第1実施形態では部屋の入室時に実行されたが、第2実施形態ではチェックイン時に実行される。顔認証及びパスコード認証自体は、第1実施形態で説明した通りである。第1実施形態では、認証端末40から撮影画像及びパスコードが取得される場合を説明したが、第2実施形態では、チェックイン端末30から撮影画像及びパスコードが取得される。
予測部106は、顔認証で第1ユーザU1として認証される可能性がある第2ユーザU2が第2場所P2にいた又は来た第2時間に関する第2時間情報と、第2場所P2に関する第2場所情報と、の少なくとも一方に基づいて、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいない又は来ない予測期間を予測する。第2実施形態では、第2時間情報及び第2場所情報の両方に基づいて予測期間が予測される場合を説明するが、第2時間情報又は第2場所情報の何れか一方に基づいて予測期間が予測されてもよい。
第1制限部107は、予測期間が経過した場合には、顔認証に基づいてチェックインが実行されることを制限する。第2実施形態では、第1場所P1へのチェックインが第1処理に相当する。このため、第2実施形態で第1場所P1へのチェックインについて説明している箇所は、第1処理と読み替えることができる。第1実施形態の第1処理と、第2実施形態の第1処理と、は処理内容が異なるが、第2実施形態でも、第1実施形態で説明したロック解除処理が第1処理に相当してもよい。第1処理が任意の処理であってよい点は、第1実施形態で説明した通りである。
処理実行部105は、予測期間に実行された顔認証に基づいて、第1場所P1へのチェックインを実行する。処理実行部105は、予測期間に実行された顔認証が成功した場合に、第1場所P1へのチェックインを実行する。処理実行部105は、予測期間が経過した場合には、顔認証だけに基づいては、第1場所P1へのチェックインは実行しない。この場合のチェックインは、チェックイン部101により実行されるものであり、パスコード認証も要求されるチェックインである。処理実行部105のチェックインの処理自体は、チェックイン部101の処理と同様である。
図12は、第2実施形態の認証システムSで実行される処理の一例を示すフロー図である。図12に示す処理は、制御部11,21,31,41の各々が記憶部12,22,32,42の各々に記憶されたプログラムに従って動作することによって実行される。図12の処理は、図10の機能ブロックにより実行される処理の一例である。図12の処理が実行されるにあたり、ユーザUは利用登録を済ませているものとする。
次に、認証システムSの第3実施形態を説明する。第1実施形態及び第2実施形態では、第2ユーザU2のチェックインによって、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1又は第2場所P2に来たことが検知される場合を説明したが、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2の各々が何らかの予約等をすれば、いつどこにいる又は来るか事前に分かっていることがある。このため、第3実施形態では、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1にチェックインする予定日又は予定日時に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にチェックインしないことが事前に分かっていれば、第1ユーザU1を顔認証だけで第1場所P1にチェックインさせる場合を説明する。なお、第3実施形態では、第1実施形態及び第2実施形態と同様の内容は、説明を省略する。
図13は、第3実施形態の認証システムSの一例を示す図である。第3実施形態では、第1場所P1にあるオフィスビルにおいて、所定の日時にセミナーが開催されていたとする。更に、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2の各々は、セミナーを予約した者だったとする。この場合、認証システムSは、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2の各々がいつ第1場所P1に来るかを事前に把握できる。更に、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2がチェックインサービスの利用登録を済ませていれば、互いに顔が似ていることも事前に把握できる。
図14は、第3実施形態の認証システムSで実現される機能の一例を示す機能ブロック図である。図14に示すように、サーバ10では、データ記憶部100、第1認証部102、第2認証部103、処理実行部105、抽出部108、及び予定判定部109が実現される。抽出部108及び予定判定部109の各々は、制御部11を主として実現される。
データ記憶部は、第1実施形態及び第2実施形態と概ね同様のデータを記憶するが、他のデータとして、予定情報データベースDB3を記憶する。図15は、予定情報データベースDB3のデータ格納例を示す図である。図15に示すように、予定情報データベースDB3は、第1場所P1への来訪予定に関する予定情報が格納されたデータベースである。例えば、予定情報データベースDB3には、セミナーの予定日又は予定日時、出席予定のユーザUのユーザID、氏名、パスコード認証フラグ、顔の特徴量、及びパスコードが格納される。パスコード認証フラグは、第1実施形態で説明した通りである。第3実施形態では、セミナーの予定日又は予定日時は、このセミナーを予約したユーザUが第1場所P1にいる又は来る予定の予定日又は予定日時である。1日に1回だけ開催されるセミナーであれば、時刻を含まない日付だけの予定日であってよい。
第2実施形態では、第1予定日又は第1予定日時は、第1ユーザU1を含む複数のユーザが第1場所P1にいる又は来る予定であり、抽出部108は、複数のユーザの各々の顔の特徴量を予めユーザデータベースDB1から抽出する。抽出部108は、ユーザデータベースDB1から抽出された顔の特徴量及びパスコードを、予定情報データベースDB3に格納する。第2実施形態では、抽出部108は、顔の特徴量だけでなく、パスコードもユーザデータベースDB1から抽出して予定情報データベースDB3に格納する場合を説明するが、パスコードは特に抽出しなくてもよい。
第1認証部102及び第2認証部103は、第1実施形態及び第2実施形態と概ね同様である。ただし、第2実施形態では、第1認証部102は、ユーザデータベースDB1から抽出された複数のユーザUの各々の認証情報に基づいて、複数のユーザUの各々に関する顔認証を実行する。第1認証部102は、顔認証を実行する際に、ユーザベータベースを参照してもよいが、比較対象となる顔の特徴量が多くなるため、予定情報データベースDB3を参照して顔認証を実行する。予定情報データベースDB3には、セミナーの予定日又は予定日時にいる又は来る予定のユーザUの顔の特徴量だけが格納されているので、顔認証時の比較対象となる顔の特徴量を減らすことができる。
予定判定部109は、第1場所P1への来訪予定に関する予定情報に基づいて、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1にいる又は来る第1予定日又は第1予定日時に、第1認証で第1ユーザU1として認証される可能性がある第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来るか否かを判定する。例えば、第1ユーザU1が第2ユーザU2よりも後にセミナーの予約をする場合には、予定判定部109は、第1ユーザU1がセミナーを予約する際に第1予定日又は第1予定日時を指定した場合に、予定情報データベースDB3を参照し、顔が似た第2ユーザU2が同じ日又は日時に予約済みであるか否かを判定する。
処理実行部105は、第1予定日又は第1予定日時に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来ると判定されない場合に、顔認証に基づいて、第1場所P1にチェックインするための処理を実行する。第3実施形態では、第1場所P1にチェックインするための処理が、第1ユーザU1に関する第1処理の一例である。このため、第1場所P1にチェックインするための処理について説明している箇所は、第1処理と読み替えることができる。チェックインの処理自体は、第1実施形態及び第2実施形態で説明した通りである。チェックインデータベースDB2には、チェックインしたユーザUに対応するレコードが作成される。チェックイン済みか否かを示す情報は、予定情報データベースDB3に格納されていてもよい。この場合、この情報が更新されることによってチェックインが実行される。
図16は、第3実施形態の認証システムSで実行される処理の一例を示すフロー図である。図16に示す処理は、制御部11,21,31,41の各々が記憶部12,22,32,42の各々に記憶されたプログラムに従って動作することによって実行される。図16の処理は、図14の機能ブロックにより実行される処理の一例である。図16の処理が実行されるにあたり、ユーザUは利用登録を済ませているものとする。
なお、本開示は、以上に説明した実施の形態に限定されるものではない。本開示の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で、適宜変更可能である。
第1実施形態に係る変形例を説明する。図17は、第1実施形態に係る変形例における機能ブロック図の一例である。図17に示すように、第1実施形態に係る変形例では、第1実施形態で説明した図4の機能の他に、予測部106、予定判定部109、及び第3認証部110が実現される。第3認証部110は、制御部11を主として実現される。予測部106及び予定判定部109の各々は、第2実施形態及び第3実施形態で説明した内容と異なる点を説明する。
例えば、認証システムSは、任意のサービスに適用可能である。以降説明する第1実施形態に係る変形例では、電子決済サービスに認証システムSを適用した場合を例に挙げる。この点は、第2実施形態に係る変形例についても同様である。電子決済サービスは、ユーザUの決済手段を利用して電子決済を提供するサービスである。ユーザUが利用可能な決済手段は、任意の種類であってよく、例えば、クレジットカード、デビットカード、電子マネー、電子キャッシュ、ポイント、銀行口座、ウォレット、仮想通貨、又はこれらの組み合わせであってもよい。
例えば、処理実行部105は、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たと判定された場合に、顔認証には基づかずにパスコード認証に基づいて、決済処理を実行してもよい。この場合、顔認証は実行されないようにしてもよいし、顔認証自体は実行されるが、顔認証の実行結果が決済処理を実行するか否かの条件にならないようにしてもよい。ただし、顔が似ていないユーザU同士でパスコードが同じ場合もあるので、変形例1-2のパスコード認証は、ユーザIDも利用されるものとする。処理実行部105は、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たと判定された場合に、顔認証には基づかずに、ユーザID及びパスコードを利用したパスコード認証に基づいて、決済処理を実行する。
例えば、認証システムSは、第1場所P1へのチェックインの予定に関する予定情報に基づいて、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1にチェックインする第1予定日又は第1予定日時に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にチェックインする予定であるか否かを判定する予定判定部109を更に含んでもよい。予定判定部109の処理は、第3実施形態で説明した通りである。例えば、図18で説明したスタジアムの試合や図19で説明したイベントのように、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2の各々は、第1場所P1に来る前に、事前に予約をしているものとする。予定情報データベースDB3には、第1ユーザU1及び第2ユーザU2の各々が第1場所P1に来るか否かを示す予定情報が格納されている。第1場所P1に来る予定の場合には、その予定日又は予定日時も予定情報に含まれている。
例えば、第1実施形態では、第1ユーザU1がチェックインした場所が第1場所P1に相当する場合を説明したが、第1ユーザU1が電子決済サービスを利用した場所が第1場所P1に相当してもよい。
例えば、ユーザ端末20は、第1ユーザU1の第1位置に関する第1位置情報を取得してもよい。第1位置は、第1ユーザU1の現在位置である。第1位置情報を取得する方法自体は、任意の方法であってよい。例えば、GPS受信部28等のGNSSを利用した方法、無線LANのアクセスポイントを利用した方法、又は通信基地局を利用した方法を利用可能である。第1位置情報は、第1場所情報と同様、任意の形式であってよい。例えば、第1位置情報は、緯度経度情報、住所情報、又は座標情報であってよい。
例えば、処理実行部105は、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来た場合に、第2ユーザU2に関する決済処理を実行してもよい。決済処理は、第2処理の一例である。このため、決済処理について説明している箇所は、第2処理と読み替えることができる。第2処理は、任意の処理であってよい。例えば、第2処理は、第1実施形態で説明したロック解除処理又はチェックインであってもよい。
例えば、第2ユーザ判定部104は、第2ユーザU2の第2位置に関する第2位置情報が示す当該第2位置が第1場所P1又はその付近であるか否かを判定することによって、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たか否かを判定してもよい。第2位置情報を取得する方法自体が任意の方法であってよい点は、第1位置情報と同様である。第2位置は、第2ユーザU2の現在位置である。図20に示すように、ユーザ端末20を利用して第2ユーザU2の位置情報を取得できるのであれば、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1又はその付近にいるか否かを判定できるので、第2ユーザU2と区別できないといったことを防止できる。
例えば、認証システムSは、第2ユーザU2が第2場所P2にいた又は来た第2時間に関する第2時間情報と、第2場所P2に関する第2場所情報と、の少なくとも一方に基づいて、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいない又は来ない予測期間を予測する予測部106を更に含んでもよい。予測部106は、第2実施形態と同様である。処理実行部105は、予測期間に実行された第1認証に基づいて、決済処理を実行する。例えば、図19の例において、第2ユーザU2が、ある第1場所P1にチェックインした又はある第1場所P1で決済処理を実行させた場合に、個々の第1場所P1に予測期間が設定される。第1ユーザU1は、この予測期間であれば、顔認証だけで決済処理を実行できるようになる。
第2実施形態に係る変形例を説明する。図21は、第2実施形態に係る変形例における機能ブロック図の一例である。図21に示すように、第2実施形態に係る変形例では、第2実施形態で説明した図10の機能の他に、第2ユーザ判定部104が実現される。第2ユーザ判定部104は、第1実施形態で説明した内容と異なる点を説明する。
図22は、変形例2-1の認証システムSの一例を示す図である。図22に示すように、認証システムSを電子決済サービスに適用した場合、第1ユーザU1の決済情報を利用した決済処理が、第2実施形態で説明した第1処理に相当する。変形例2-1の決済処理は、第2実施形態のチェックインと同様に、最初は顔認証及びパスコード認証の両方を成功させた場合に実行される。
図23は、変形例2-2の認証システムSの一例を示す図である。図23に示すように、第1ユーザU1と顔が似た第2ユーザU2は、複数人存在することがある。この場合、予測部106は、複数の第2ユーザU2の各々に対応する第2時間情報と、複数の第2ユーザU2の各々に対応する第2場所情報と、の少なくとも一方に基づいて、予測期間を予測してもよい。第2実施形態と同様に、第2時間情報及び第2場所情報の両方に基づいて予測期間が予測される場合を説明するが、第2時間情報又は第2場所情報の何れかに基づいて予測時間が予測されてもよい。
例えば、第1ユーザU1を第1場所P1にチェックインさせたうえで、予測期間に実行された顔認証に基づいて決済処理が実行されるようにしてもよい。即ち、第1場所P1は、第1ユーザU1がチェックインした場所であってもよい。例えば、図22又は図23の第1場所P1に、変形例1-1で説明した図18のようなスタジアムがあったとする。この場合、チェックイン部101は、変形例1-1と同様にして、第1ユーザU1をチェックインさせる。
例えば、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1でパスコード認証により決済処理を実行させた後に、予測期間に実行された顔認証に基づいて決済処理が実行されるようにしてもよい。即ち、第1ユーザU1がパスコード認証を成功させて、第1場所P1にいることが確実に分かる状態で、予測期間に実行された顔認証に基づいて決済処理が実行されるようにしてもよい。
例えば、変形例1-5と同様に、ユーザ端末20は、第1ユーザU1の第1位置に関する第1位置情報を取得してもよい。第1認証部102は、第1ユーザU1の第1位置に関する第1位置情報が示す当該第1位置が第1場所P1又はその付近である場合に、顔認証を実行可能であってもよい。例えば、変形例1-5の図20で説明したように、第1ユーザU1の第1位置を含む範囲A1にある第1場所P1だけで、予測期間に実行された顔認証による決済処理が許可されてもよい。
例えば、処理実行部105は、第2ユーザU2が第2場所P2にいる又は来た場合に、第2ユーザU2に関するチェックインを実行してもよい。このチェックインは、第2場所P2へのチェックインである。変形例2-6では、チェックインが第2処理に相当する。第2処理は、チェックイン以外の任意の処理であってよい。第2処理は、第2ユーザU2がいることを何らか検知できればよく、決済処理であってもよい。
例えば、第2時間は、第2ユーザU2の第2位置に関する第2位置情報が取得された時間であってもよい。変形例2-7では、第2場所P2は、第2位置に相当する。例えば、第2ユーザU2のユーザ端末20は、第2位置情報が取得された場合に、第2時間情報を取得する。第2時間情報は、GPS受信部28を利用して取得されてもよいし、リアルタイムクロック等を利用して取得されてもよい。第2位置情報が第2場所P2のチェックイン端末30又は認証端末40が配置された場所を示すのではなく、第2ユーザU2のユーザ端末20の位置を示す点で第2実施形態と異なるだけであり、第2位置情報及び第2時間情報を利用した処理の流れは、第2実施形態と同様である。
例えば、認証システムSは、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たか否かを判定する第2ユーザ判定部104を更に含んでもよい。第2ユーザ判定部104は、第1実施形態で説明した通りであり、例えば、第2ユーザU2によるチェックインによって第1場所P1にいる又は来たことが検知される。他にも例えば、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1で顔認証及びパスコード認証により決済処理を実行させた場合に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たと判定されてもよい。
第3実施形態に係る変形例を説明する。図24は、第3実施形態に係る変形例における機能ブロック図の一例である。図24に示すように、第3実施形態に係る変形例では、第3実施形態で説明した図14の機能の他に、第2ユーザ判定部104、予測部106、第2制限部111、許可部112、第1送信部113、及び第2送信部114が実現される。これらの各機能は、制御部11を主として実現される。
例えば、処理実行部105は、第1予定日又は第1予定日時に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来ると判定された場合に、顔認証には基づかずにパスコード認証に基づいて、チェックインを実行してもよい。この場合、顔認証は実行されないようにしてもよいし、顔認証自体は実行されるが、顔認証の実行結果がチェックインを実行するか否かの条件にならないようにしてもよい。
図25は、変形例3-2の認証システムSの一例を示す図である。図25に示すように、認証システムSは、第1予定日又は第1予定日時に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来ると判定された場合に、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1にいる又は来る前に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来たか否かを判定する第2ユーザ判定部104を更に含んでもよい。第2ユーザ判定部104の処理は、概ね第1実施形態と同様であり、第2ユーザU2のチェックインの有無が判定される。
図26は、変形例3-3の認証システムSの一例を示す図である。図26に示すように、第1ユーザU1は、ユーザ端末20を操作して、セミナーの予約申込を行う。ユーザ端末20には、セミナーの開催日時の一覧が表示される。ユーザUは、任意の開催日時を選択してセミナーを予約できる。この場合、認証システムSは、予定情報に基づいて、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来る第2予定日又は第2予定日時が第1予定日又は第1予定日時として指定されることを制限する第2制限部111を更に含んでもよい。
認証システムSは、第1ユーザU1が顔認証とは異なる他の認証を指定した場合には、第2予定日又は第2予定日時が第1予定日又は第1予定日時として指定されることを許可する許可部112を更に含んでもよい。例えば、第1ユーザU1が顔認証ではなく、パスコード認証又はユーザ端末20を利用したコード認証といった他の認証方法でチェックインすることを選択した場合には、第2ユーザU2と同じ日時のセミナーを指定できるようにしてもよい。例えば、第1ユーザU1は、図26のような画面でセミナーを予約する場合に、当日の認証方法を指定できるものとする。第1ユーザU1が指定した認証方法は、予定情報データベースDB3に格納されるものとする。第1ユーザU1は、セミナーの当日に、自身が指定した認証方法でチェックインする。この認証自体は、公知の種々の方法を利用可能である。
認証システムSは、第1ユーザU1が他の認証を指定した場合に、第1ユーザU1に、第1場所P1で顔認証を実行しないことを促す通知を送信する第1送信部113を更に含んでもよい。この通知は、任意の方法で送信可能であり、例えば、電子メール、SNS、SMS、又はメッセージアプリによって送信可能である。この通知のフォーマットは、データ記憶部100に記憶されているものとする。この通知は、第1ユーザU1が第2ユーザU2とは異なる日時のセミナーを予約した場合には送信されない。この通知は、第1場所P1で顔認証を実行しないことを示すメッセージを含む。第1ユーザU1は、パスコード認証又はコード認証といった他の認証方法を利用する。
例えば、第2ユーザU2は、第1予定日時と同じ日における第2予定日時に、第1場所P1にいる又は来る予定であってもよい。即ち、第1ユーザU1と第2ユーザU2は、同じ日に第1場所P1に来る予定であるが、時間は多少異なっているものとする。例えば、第1ユーザU1が第1場所P1に来る時間と、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P2に来る時間とは、数分~半日程度は異なる。
例えば、認証システムSは、第1予定日又は第1予定日時に、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいる又は来ると判定された場合に、第2ユーザU2が第2場所P2にいた又は来た第2時間に関する第2時間情報と、第2場所P2に関する第2場所情報と、の少なくとも一方に基づいて、第2ユーザU2が第1場所P1にいない又は来ない予測期間を予測する予測部106を更に含んでもよい。予測部106は、第2実施形態で説明した通りである。例えば、第2実施形態で説明したように、予測部106は、第1場所P1に関する第1場所情報と、第2場所情報と、に基づいて、第1場所P1と第2場所P2との距離を取得し、第2時間情報と、距離に応じた移動時間と、に基づいて、予測期間を予測してもよい。他にも例えば、第2実施形態で説明したような予測期間の予測方法を利用可能である。
変形例3-7で説明した第2場所情報は、第1場所P1に関する予約を受け付けるためのアプリケーションとは異なる他のアプリケーションを利用して取得された位置に関する情報であってもよい。予約を受け付けるためのアプリケーションは、図26の画面を表示させるためのアプリケーションである。他のアプリケーションは、起動した時にGPS受信部28を利用して位置情報を取得できるアプリケーションである。例えば、電子決済アプリ等のアプリケーションである。アプリケーションの起動時に位置情報を取得する方法自体は、公知の方法を利用可能である。複数のアプリケーション間で連携しており、情報のやり取りが可能であるものとする。
例えば、上記説明した変形例を組み合わせてもよい。
