Abstract
There is provided a function unlocking system using highly-convenient face authentication with high accuracy for an information processing terminal. In the function unlocking system, a face authentication section carries out face authentication by using a face image of the user that is obtained by an image pickup section, with key input carried out by the user through a key input section as a trigger. Along with the above, a key input content determination section determines whether a pattern of input key input matches with a pattern registered in advance or not. Then, an unlocking determining section determines whether a lock is to be released or not on the basis of a result of the face authentication by the face authentication section and a result of key input determination by a key input content determination section. In case the unlocking determining section determines that a lock is to be released, a function locking section releases the lock.

17. A function unlocking system that releases a locking state which is a state where a function of an information processing terminal is locked, comprising:
-
an image pickup section that picks up an image of a face of a person to be authenticated; key input means for detecting key input by the person to be authenticated; face authentication means for starting the image pickup section when the key input is detected to pick up an image of a face of the person to be authenticated, and determining whether the person to be authenticated is a person who is permitted to use the information processing terminal or not; pattern determining means for determining whether the key input matches with a pattern registered in advance or not; and unlocking determining means for determining whether the locking state of the information processing terminal is to be released or not on the basis of a result of authentication by the face authentication means and a result of determination by the pattern determining means. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 24, 25)

22. A function unlocking method that releases a locking state which is a state where a function of an information processing terminal is locked, comprising:
-
an image pickup step of picking up an image of a face of a person to be authenticated; a key input step of detecting key input by the person to be authenticated; a face authentication step of starting the image pickup step when the key input is detected to pick up an image of a face of the person to be authenticated, and determining whether the person to be authenticated is a person who is permitted to use the information processing terminal or not; a pattern determining step of determining whether the key input matches with a pattern registered in advance or not; and a unlocking determining step of determining whether the locking state of the information processing terminal is to be released or not on the basis of a result of authentication by the face authentication step and a result of determination by the pattern determining step. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29)

23. A computer readable medium storing a function unlocking program for releasing a locking state which is a state where a function of an information processing terminal is locked, the function unlocking program for controlling a computer to execute:
-
an image pickup processing for picking up an image of a face of a person to be authenticated; a key input processing for detecting key input by the person to be authenticated; a face authentication processing for starting the image pickup processing when the key input is detected to pick up an image of a face of the person to be authenticated, and determining whether the person to be authenticated is a person who is permitted to use the information processing terminal or not; a pattern determining processing for determining whether the key input matches with a pattern registered in advance or not; and a unlocking determining processing for determining whether the locking state of the information processing terminal is to be released or not on the basis of a result of authentication by the face authentication processing and a result of determination by the pattern determining processing. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33)
