First Claim
1. A personal authentication system for connecting, via a communication line, an authentication server for authenticating a client to identify the client to an authentication terminal for inputting authentication information required for said personal authentication:
- wherein the system has a database for storing at least personal authentication data required for said personal authentication and previously registered, settling account information required to process charges, and data required to receive various services;
wherein said authentication server has a function of collating said authentication information input from said authentication terminal via said communication terminal, against said personal authentication data stored in said database, a function of processing charges based on said settling account information registered in said database based on a request from said authentication terminal when the client is authenticated during said identification, and a function of providing, registering, and managing personal data registered beforehand in said database based on a request from said authentication terminal when the client is authenticated during said identification and periodically communicating a collation history, a personal data usage history, and a charge process history;
wherein the function of communicating said collation history, said personal data usage history, and said charge process history is configured to communicate this information by electronic mail at preset specified times; and

Abstract
To provide a personal authentication system that enables a client to receive services even if he fails to carry his card or the like with him or loses it, thus preventing the abuse of the card or the like by a third person and the leakage of the personal information. When data identifying a client are transferred to an authentication server using an authentication terminal, the authentication server collates the sent data against personal authentication data registered previously in a database to identify the client and sends the results of the identification to the authentication terminal. After the authentication, when the authentication terminal requests the payment of charges from a settling account registered previously in the database, the read and modification of personal data, or the like, the authentication server executes a process based on the sent request.
