Abstract
A personal identification device compares personal identification dictionary data, which is generated from feature data extracted from an identification element for identifying a person and is stored in association with person-specifying information for specifying a person, against feature data extracted from an identification element extracted from a person to thereby identify a person having the captured identification element. The personal identification device includes a dictionary data update processing section that assigns a weighting factor, which is generated from capture time information newly acquired by a time acquiring section and capture time information of an identification element acquired previously and stored in a dictionary-data generating information storing section in association with person-specifying information, to feature data captured at each capture time to thereby generate or update identification dictionary data corresponding to person-specifying information acquired by a person-specifying section on the basis of the result of personal identification.

14. An updating method for identification dictionary data in a personal identification device that compares identification dictionary data of a person to be identified, which is generated from feature data extracted from an identification element for identifying the person and stored in association with person-specifying information for specifying the person, against feature data extracted from an identification element captured from a person to identify a person who has the captured identification element, comprising:
-
a time acquiring step of acquiring information on capture time of an identification element captured from the person; a person-specifying step of obtaining the person-specifying information that specifies a person who has the captured identification element, on the basis of a result of identification of a person who has the captured identification element; a dictionary-data generating information storing step of adding and storing data of the captured identification element of a person or feature data extracted from the identification element, and time information acquired in the time acquiring step into the dictionary-data generating information storing section, in association with the person-specifying information acquired in the person-specifying step; and a dictionary data update processing step of generating or updating the identification dictionary data corresponding to the person-specifying information acquired in the person-specifying means, by using information on capture time newly acquired in the time acquiring step, information on capture time of the identification element acquired previously and stored in the dictionary-data generating information storing section in association with the person-specifying information acquired in the person-specifying step, and feature data captured at each capture time, the dictionary data update processing step being configured to update the identification dictionary data by weighting each piece of the feature data by a weighting factor according to its capture time. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
