Abstract
An authentication system comprises a register image storage unit, which stores a pre-registered register image of a mobile terminal user; a communication control unit, which receives a moving image of the user transmitted from the mobile terminal; and an authentication processing unit, which authenticates the user by checking the moving image received by the communication control unit against the register image stored in the register image storage unit.
Claims20
An authentication system comprising:
- a register image storage unit, which stores a pre-registered register image of a mobile terminal user;
- a communication control unit, which receives a moving image of the user transmitted from the mobile terminal;
- and
- an authentication processing unit, which authenticates the user by checking the moving image received by the communication control unit against the register image stored in said register image storage unit.
The authentication system of claim l, wherein the authentication processing unit accepts a request for authentication, and authenticates based on the accepted request.
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a moving image acquisition unit, which acquires a moving image of the mobile terminal user;
- and
- a communication control unit, which transmits the moving image acquired by the moving image acquisition unit to the authentication system, which authenticates the user.
An authentication method, comprising:
- receiving, by an authentication system that authenticates a mobile terminal user, a moving image of the mobile terminal user transmitted from a terminal;
- and
- checking the received moving image against a register image to authenticate the user by the authentication system, which stores the pre-registered register image of the user.
