Abstract
The present invention provides a server (10) including an authentication result acquisition unit (11) that acquires a result of biometric authentication of a service provider based on biometric information repeatedly acquired from the service provider heading toward an appointment location for a customer, and a result transmission unit (12) that transmits the result of the biometric authentication of the service provider to a terminal of the customer.
Claims5
A server comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one memory storing one or more instructions executable by the processor to:
- acquire, from a terminal of a customer, information indicating reception of a first user input and a second user input, the first user input indicating that a service provider has started moving to an appointment location at which the service provider is to meet the customer, and the second user input indicating that the service provider has met the customer;
- determine that the appointment location was registered in advance as a home of the customer;
- in response to determining that the appointment location was registered in advance as the home of the customer, do not perform biometric authentication of the customer;
- acquire a result of biometric authentication of the service provider that is performed based on biometric information repeatedly acquired using a biometric detection device, from the first input to the second input, from the service provider heading toward the appointment location;
- transmit, through a communication network using a network interface, the result of the biometric authentication of the service provider to a terminal of the customer;
- in response to the service provider being positioned within a standard distance from the appointment location, cause the biometric detection device to repeatedly acquire the biometric information of the service provider at a first frequency;
- and
- in response to the service provider not being positioned within the standard distance from the appointment location, cause the biometric detection device to repeatedly acquire the biometric information of the service provider at a second frequency less than the first frequency.

A processing method executed by a computer, the processing method comprising:
- acquiring, from a terminal of a customer, information indicating reception of a first user input and a second user input, the first user input indicating that a service provider has started moving to an appointment location at which the service provider is to meet the customer, and the second user input indicating that the service provider has met the customer;
- determining that the appointment location was registered in advance as a home of the customer;
- in response to determining that the appointment location was registered in advance as the home of the customer, not performing biometric authentication of the customer;
- acquiring a result of biometric authentication of a service provider that is performed based on biometric information repeatedly acquired using a biometric detection device, from the first input to the second input, from the service provider heading toward the appointment location;
- transmitting, through a communication network using a network interface, the result of the biometric authentication of the service provider to a terminal of the customer;
- in response to the service provider being positioned within a standard distance from the appointment location, causing the biometric detection device to repeatedly acquire the biometric information of the service provider at a first frequency;
- and
- in response to the service provider not being positioned within the standard distance from the appointment location, causing the biometric detection device to repeatedly acquire the biometric information of the service provider at a second frequency less than the first frequency.
