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 temporary storing unit configured to temporarily store feature information of one or more persons authenticated by an external apparatus, the external apparatus storing feature information of one or more persons to be authenticated;
a verification unit configured to verify whether each person has been authenticated based on feature information stored in the temporary storing unit and feature information of each person extracted by the extracting unit; and
an authentication unit configured to transmit feature information of a person who cannot be verified as authenticated to the external apparatus and request authentication of the person;
wherein feature information of an authenticated person authenticated by an external apparatus is deleted from the temporary storing unit after the authenticated person left from an area, the extracting unit being able to extract feature information of each person in the area.

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.
