Processing execution apparatus, user terminal, authentication system, processing execution method, authentication method, and computer readable medium

A user terminal comprising:

• at least one storage device configured to store instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
• acquire a first captured image obtained by imaging a user outside a first range of a location where a processing execution apparatus is installed;
• control a first biometric authentication by transmitting biometric information based on the first captured image to an authentication server;
• store, in the at least one storage device, certification information acquired from the authentication server when the first biometric authentication has succeeded, the certification information indicating the success;
• and
• output the certification information to cause the processing execution apparatus to perform a control of a second biometric authentication for the user and perform predetermined processing after the user moves into the first range.

An authentication system comprising:

• a user terminal possessed by a user;
• an authentication server configured to perform a biometric authentication;
• and
• a processing execution apparatus installed at a first location and configured to execute predetermined processing, wherein
• the user terminal includes:
• at least one first storage device configured to store first instructions;
• and
• at least one first processor configured to execute the first instructions to:
• acquire a first captured image obtained by imaging the user outside a first range of the first location, and perform a control of a first biometric authentication by transmitting biometric information based on the first captured image to the authentication server,
• wherein the authentication server includes:
• at least one second storage device configured to store second instructions;
• and
• at least one second processor configured to execute the second instructions to:
• transmit certification information to the user terminal when the first biometric authentication has succeeded, the certification information indicating the success,
• wherein the at least one first processor is further configured to execute the first instructions to:
• store, in the at least one first storage device, the certification information acquired from the authentication server, and output the certification information after the user moves into the first range, and
• wherein the processing execution apparatus includes:
• at least one third storage device configured to store third instructions;
• and
• at least one third processor configured to execute the third instructions to:
• initiate a control of a second biometric authentication for the user when the certification information is acquired from the user terminal, and execute the predetermined processing when the second biometric authentication has succeeded.

A processing execution method comprising:

• by a computer installed at a first location,
• acquiring certification information indicating that a first biometric authentication has succeeded from a user terminal possessed by a user after the user moves into a first range of the first location, the first biometric authentication being performed based on a first captured image in which the user is imaged by the user terminal outside the first range;
• initiating a control of a second biometric authentication for the user when the certification information is acquired;
• and
• executing predetermined processing when the second biometric authentication has succeeded.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer installed at a first location to execute:

• acquisition processing of acquiring certification information indicating that a first biometric authentication has succeeded from a user terminal possessed by a user after the user moves into a first range of the first location, the first biometric authentication being performed based on a first captured image in which the user is imaged by the user terminal outside the first range;
• authentication control processing of initiating a control of a second biometric authentication for the user when the certification information is acquired;
• and
• execution processing of executing predetermined processing when the second biometric authentication has succeeded.

An authentication method comprising:

• by a computer,
• acquiring a first captured image obtained by imaging a user outside a first range of a location where a processing execution apparatus is installed;
• controlling a first biometric authentication by transmitting biometric information based on the first captured image to an authentication server;
• storing certification information acquired from the authentication server when the first biometric authentication has succeeded, the certification information indicating the success;
• and
• outputting the certification information to cause the processing execution apparatus to perform a control of a second biometric authentication for the user and perform predetermined processing after the user moves into the first range.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute:

• acquisition processing of acquiring a first captured image obtained by imaging a user outside a first range of a location where a processing execution apparatus is installed;
• authentication control processing of controlling a first biometric authentication by transmitting biometric information based on the first captured image to an authentication server;
• storage processing of storing certification information acquired from the authentication server in a storage device when the first biometric authentication has succeeded, the certification information indicating the success;
• and
• output processing of outputting the certification information to cause the processing execution apparatus to perform a control of a second biometric authentication for the user and perform predetermined processing after the user moves into the first range.
