Abstract

A collating system includes a storage section configured to store a reference fingers and palm print data of a reference fingerprint data and a reference palm print data, and a collating unit configured to collate the target fingers and palm print data and the reference fingers and palm print data. The reference fingers and palm print data have a same data configuration as that of a target fingers and palm print data.

Claims

1. A collating system comprising:

a storage section configured to store a target fingers and palm print data of a target fingerprint data and a target palm print data, said target fingers and palm print data having a same data structure as that of a reference fingers and palm print data; and

a collating unit configured to read out said target fingers and palm print data from said storage section and to collate said target fingers and palm print data and said reference fingers and palm print data.

2. The collating system according to claim 1, wherein said fingers and palm print data comprises a portion indication data indicating a portion of a fingers and palm print and a feature value data of said fingers and palm print data.

3. The collating system according to claim 2, wherein said collating section reads a pair of said target fingers and palm print data and said reference fingers and palm print data from said storage section based on said portion indication data, and carries out a collating process of said target fingers and palm print data and said reference fingers and palm print data based on said feature value data.

4. The collating system according to claim 3, wherein said collating section carries out said collating processes of the pairs continuously or in parallel.

5. The collating system according to claim 4, wherein said collating section comprises a shared memory area in which a part of said shared memory area is assigned as a work area for each of said collating processes.

6. The collating system according to claim 5, wherein said collating section comprises fixed memory areas having a same capacity assigned to collation programs for said collating processes in advance.

7. A collating method comprising:

providing a pair of a target fingers and palm print data and a reference fingers and palm print data, which have a same data structure, and each of which contains a fingerprint data and a palm print data; and

collating said target fingers and palm print data and said reference fingers and palm print data.

8. The collating method according to claim 7, wherein said collating comprises:

carrying out collating processes of a plurality of said pairs continuously or in parallel.

9. The collating method according to claim 8, further comprising:

assigning a part of a shared memory area as a work area to each of said collating processes.

10. The collating method according to claim 9, further comprising:

assigning fixed memory areas having a same capacity to collation programs in advance.

11. A computer-readable software medium in which codes of a program are written to realize a collating method, wherein said collating method comprises:

providing a pair of a target fingers and palm print data and a reference fingers and palm print data, which have a same data structure, and each of which contains a fingerprint data and a palm print data; and

collating said target fingers and palm print data and said reference fingers and palm print data.

12. The computer-readable software medium according to claim 11, wherein said collating comprises:

carrying out a collating process of a plurality of pairs continuously or in parallel.

13. The computer-readable software medium according to claim 12, wherein said collating method further comprises:

assigning a part of a shared memory area as work areas to said collating processes when a plurality of said collating processes are executed.

14. The computer-readable software medium according to claim 13, wherein said collating method further comprises:

assigning fixed memory areas having a same capacity to collation programs in advance.
