Abstract

The purpose of the invention is to provide an apparatus, system and method for personal identification with an improved capability of generating registration data in which biometrics information of a person to be identified can be acquired and accumulated each time identification is used at an operation such as unlocking of a door only by registering ID information and so on with no biometrics information of the person to be identified registered in advance and in which registered data of the person can be efficiently generated based on the log data thus accumulated. The invention is characterized in that a person is identified from biometrics information by providing an input unit for inputting the identification information, an acquisition unit for acquiring biometrics information of the person to be identified and a storage unit to which the identification information is input from the input unit and in which the identification information and the biometrics information is stored in association with each other when the biometrics information is acquired by the acquisition unit.

Claims

1. A personal identification apparatus for identifying a person from biometrics information, comprising:

an input unit for inputting identification information for identifying the person to be identified;

an acquisition unit for acquiring biometrics information of the person to be identified; and

a storage unit to which the identification information is input from the input unit and in which the identification information and the biometrics information is stored in association with each other when the biometrics information is acquired by the acquisition unit.

2. A personal identification apparatus for identifying a person from biometrics information, comprising:

an input unit for inputting identification information for identifying the person to be identified;

an acquisition unit for acquiring biometrics information of the person to be identified;

a judging unit for judging whether the acquired biometrics information has been registered or not; and

a storage unit which accepts input of the identification information from the input unit when the judging unit judges that the biometrics information has not been registered and in which the biometrics information acquired by the acquisition unit is stored in association with the identification information.

3. A personal identification apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the person is identified based on the identification information input from the input unit when the judging unit judges that the biometrics information has not been registered.

4. A personal identification apparatus for identifying a person from biometrics information, comprising:

a first identification unit for collecting biometrics information of the person to be identified at the time of identification of the person when the person is identified by inputting identification information;

a generation unit for generating personal data based on the biometrics information collected by the first identification unit; and

a second identification unit for identifying the person based on the biometrics information collected by the first identification unit and the personal data generated by the generation unit.

5. A personal identification apparatus for identifying a person from biometrics information, comprising:

a biometrics information collecting unit for collecting biometrics information of the person to be identified when identification information is input;

a generation unit for generating personal data based on the biometrics information collected by the biometrics information collecting unit; and

an identification unit for identifying the person based on the biometrics information collected by the biometrics information collecting unit and the personal data generated by the generation unit.

6. A personal identification system for identifying a person from biometrics information, comprising:

a center apparatus in communication and connection with personal identification apparatus having an input unit for inputting identification information and an acquisition unit for acquiring biometrics information of the person to be identified, the center apparatus having a storage unit to which the identification information is input from the input unit and in which the identification information and the biometrics information is stored in association with each other when the biometrics information is acquired by the acquisition unit.

7. A method of personal identification for identifying a person from biometrics information, comprising:

a biometrics information collecting step for inputting identification information and collecting biometrics information of the person;

a preliminary operation step for generating personal data that is tentatively registered and used based on the information collected at the biometrics information collecting step; and

an identification step for identifying then person based on the personal data generated at the preliminary operation step.

8. A method of personal identification for identifying a person from biometrics information, comprising:

a first identification step for identifying the person by inputting identification information and collecting biometrics information of the person;

a preliminary operation step for generating personal data that is tentatively registered and used based on the information collected at the first identification step; and

a second identification step for identifying the person based on the personal data generated at the preliminary operation step.
