Abstract

In a biometrics system for a building entrance unlocking or a bank account authentication, reference information registered under administration by the system is transmitted to a room or mobile-phone for private storage, with the original reference information deleted from the system. Biologic information gotten upon authentication is transmitted through wireless system to the room or mobile-phone for comparison with the reference, the result being returned to the system. Or, the reference is tentatively sent back to the system for comparison with the gotten biologic information. The biologic information sent to mobile-phone also includes health control information for storage and display. Mobile-phone also can receive blood pressure information at a waiting lounge of medical institution though wireless local communication even if the main power shut down. The communication between the biometrics system and the mobile-phone is encrypted. The system includes sensor unit and protection unit, the abnormality thereof being separately checked.

Claims9

Dependent claims

A building entrance biometrics system commonly utilized by predetermined persons, for authenticating a person to access the building entrance through a comparison between biologic information gotten by the person and registered reference biologic information of the person comprising:

a biologic information sensor, which is provided in the building entrance biometrics system, arranged to sense the biologic information of the person to be authenticated;
an administrator, which is provided in the building entrance biometrics system, arranged to administrate the registration of the reference biologic information of the person sensed by the sensor in the building entrance biometrics system, the registered reference biologic information being used in comparison with the biologic information sensed by the biologic information sensor upon authenticating the person to access the building entrance;
a transmitter, which is provided in the building entrance biometrics system, arranged to transmit the registered reference biologic information obtained from the biologic information sensor in the building entrance biometrics system to an apartment within the building under private control by the person to have the apartment within the building store the registered reference biologic information;
a lock control system for the building entrance commonly utilized by a plurality of persons, the lock control system being arranged to unlock the building entrance in accordance with the authentication;
and
a controller arranged to delete the registered reference biologic information to be used in coming authentication from the building entrance biometrics system after the transmission of the registered reference biologic information to the apartment, whereby the registered reference biologic information to be used in coming authentication is isolated from the biometrics system,
wherein apartment is under individual control of one of the plurality of persons utilizing the building entrance.

a biologic information sensor which is provided in the building entrance biometrics system, arranged to sense biologic information of the person to be authenticated including biometrics information and health control information;
a transmitter, which is provided in the building entrance biometrics system, arranged to transmit the biologic information sensed by the sensor in the building entrance biometrics system to an apartment within the building to have the apartment store the biologic information as the health control information;
and
a lock control system for the building entrance commonly utilized by a plurality of persons, the lock control system being arranged to unlock the building entrance in accordance with the authentication,
wherein the apartment is under individual control of one of the persons utilizing the building entrance, and
wherein a level of sufficiency of the biologic information in case of storage by the apartment as the health condition information which is used independently from the authentication differs from that in case of the authentication by the biometrics system so that the biometrics system may complete authentication even if the level of the biologic information is insufficient to store in the apartment.
