Biometric apparatus and biometric method
First Claim
1. A biometric apparatus for performing user authentication in noncontact manner based on biometric information, said apparatus comprising:
- a biometric information obtaining unit for obtaining biometric information of a user;
a storage unit in which biometric information of said user is previously stored;
an authentication processing unit for comparing the biometric information obtained by said biometric information obtaining unit with the biometric information registered in said storage unit to perform authentication processing of said user; and
a display unit for displaying information for providing instructions to change the position where an object to be authenticated is placed in response to the authentication result of said authentication processing unit.

Abstract
A biometric apparatus is provided that comprises a personal computer (PC), and a finger vein authentication module connected to the PC, wherein the PC retrieves finger vein position information of an organism from a biometric image obtained during registration of a user for displaying on the screen of a liquid crystal display during authentication, and superimposes current finger contour information obtained during the authentication on the finger contour position information for displaying on the screen of the liquid crystal display. With this, even when the biometric apparatus is not provided with a jig that fixes the organism, it is possible, during the authentication, to cause the organism to match the position and angle a template captured during registration, and to complete the authentication rapidly.

11. An authentication method of the authentication apparatus for performing user authentication in a noncontact manner based on biometric information, the method comprising the steps of:
-
obtaining biometric information of a user;
displaying obtained position information of obtained biometric information of the user and registered position information of previously registered biometric information;
comparing the obtained biometric information with previously registered biometric information; and
completing the authentication when there is a match in said biometric information beyond a predetermined extent, and repeating said steps if that is not the case. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
