First Claim
Patent Images
1. An information processing apparatus that permits a user to use thereof through authentication, comprising:
- an image capturing unit;
an extracting unit configured to extract feature information of each person recognized based on images captured by the image capturing unit;
a verification unit configured to verify whether each person has been authenticated based on feature information of each person extracted by the extracting unit;
an authentication unit configured to transmit feature information of a person who cannot be verified as authenticated to an external apparatus and request authentication of the person; and
a storing unit configured to temporarily store the transmitted feature information of each person authenticated by the external apparatus,wherein the verification unit collates the feature information of each person extracted by the extracting unit with the feature information stored in the storing unit, and verifies whether the person has been authenticated.

Abstract
A multifunction printer captures an image, extracts face data of each person from the captured image, verifies whether each person has been authenticated based on the extracted face data, transmits face data of a person that cannot be verified to have been authenticated to an external apparatus, requests authentication of that person, temporarily stores face data of each authenticated person, collates extracted face data of each person with stored face data, and verifies whether each person has been authenticated.
