Abstract
A face authentication machine includes a face image acquirer (camera) that acquires a live image of a predetermined capturing area in a facility including a face image of a user; a display unit (display) that displays a progress of face authentication of the face image included in the live image acquired by the face image acquirer; and a processor (controller) that controls the face image acquirer and the display unit, in which the processor sequentially displays two or more notification screens indicating the progress on the display unit, when the user is detected from the live image.
Claims13
A face authentication machine that makes a processing request for face authentication of a user in a facility to a face authentication server, which performs the face authentication, when an event based on an action of the user in the facility is generated, and notifies the user of an authentication result, the face authentication machine comprising:
- a camera that acquires live images of a predetermined capturing area in the facility, the live images including a face image of the user;
- a display that displays a progress of the face authentication of the face image of the user, the face image being included in the live images acquired by the camera;
- and
- a processor that controls the camera and the display, wherein
- the processor sequentially displays at least three notification screens indicating the progress of the face authentication on the display, when the user is detected from the live images,
- wherein a first notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor when the user is detected until the face image of the user is acquired, displays an image of the predetermined capturing area in the facility,
- a second notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor after the face image of the user is acquired, displays first indicia which indicate that the face authentication is in progress, and
- a third notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor when the authentication result is received, displays second indicia which indicate the authentication result.
A face authentication method performed by a face authentication machine that makes a request for face authentication processing of a user in a facility to a face authentication server, which performs the face authentication, when an event based on an action of the user in the facility is generated, and notifies the user of an authentication result, the face authentication method comprising:
- acquiring live images of a predetermined capturing area in the facility, the live images including a face image of the user;
- displaying a progress of the face authentication of the face image of the user on a display, the face image being included in the acquired live images;
- and
- sequentially displaying at least three notification screens indicating the progress of the face authentication on the display, when the user is detected from the live images,
- wherein a first notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display when the user is detected until the face image of the user is acquired, displays an image of the predetermined capturing area in the facility,
- a second notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor after the face image of the user is acquired, displays first indicia which indicate that the face authentication is in progress, and
- a third notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor when the authentication result is received, displays second indicia which indicate the authentication result.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a control program which is executable by a processor for making a request for face authentication processing of a user in a facility to a face authentication server, which performs the face authentication, when an event based on an action of the user in the facility is generated, and notifies the user of an authentication result, the control program causing the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- acquiring live images of a predetermined capturing area in the facility, the live images including a face image of the user;
- displaying a progress of the face authentication of the face image of the user on a display, the face image being included in the acquired live images;
- and
- sequentially displaying at least three notification screens indicating the progress of the face authentication on the display, when the user is detected from the live images,
- wherein a first notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display when the user is detected until the face image of the user is acquired, displays an image of the predetermined capturing area in the facility,
- a second notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor after the face image of the user is acquired, displays first indicia which indicate that the face authentication is in progress, and
- a third notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor when the authentication result is received, displays second indicia which indicate the authentication result.
