Information processing apparatus, information processing system, authentication method, and recording medium
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor to execute computer readable instructions to configure the at least one processor todetect a user being within a threshold distance range;
start emission of radio waves to perform radio communication with a radio tag, and obtain information from the radio tag, at least after a time point at which the user, being within the threshold distance range, is detected;
execute first authentication for the radio tag, based on the information obtained;
cause an imaging device to image a user, and acquire an image including the user;
execute second authentication for the user included in the image, based on feature information, of the image, acquired; and
authorize the user to use the information processing apparatus, upon a user of the radio tag authenticated by the first authentication being a same user as the user authenticated by the second authentication.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes: a radio communication unit configured to start emission of radio waves for performing radio communication with a radio tag, and obtain specific information from the radio tag, at least after a time point at which a user in a predetermined range is detected by a detecting unit; a first authentication unit configured to execute first authentication for the radio tag, based on the specific information obtained by the radio communication unit; a second authentication unit configured to execute second authentication for a user included in an image acquired by an imaging unit, based on feature information of the image; and an apparatus authentication unit configured to authorize the user to use the information processing apparatus, if a user of the radio tag authenticated by the first authentication is the same as the user authenticated by the second authentication.

13. An information processing system configured to execute authentication of a user for an information processing apparatus, the information processing system comprising:
at least one processor to execute computer readable instructions to configure the at least one processor to detect a user being within a threshold distance range; start emission of radio waves to perform radio communication with a radio tag, and obtain information from the radio tag, at least after a time point at which the user, being within the threshold distance range, is detected; execute first authentication for the radio tag, based on the information obtained; to cause an imaging device to image a user, and acquire an image including the user; execute second authentication for the user included in the image, based on feature information of the image acquired; and authorize the user to use the information processing apparatus, upon a user of the radio tag authenticated by the first authentication being a same user as the user authenticated by the second authentication. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 20)

16. An authentication method by an information processing apparatus, the authentication method including:
-
detecting a user being within a threshold distance range; starting emission of radio waves to perform radio communication with a radio tag, and obtaining information from the radio tag, at least after a time point at which the user, being within the threshold distance range, is detected; executing first authentication for the radio tag, based on the information obtained; causing an imaging device to image a user, and acquiring an image including the user; executing second authentication for the user included in the image, based on feature information of the image acquired; and authorizing the user to use the information processing apparatus, upon a user of the radio tag authenticated by the first authentication being a same user as the user authenticated by the second authentication. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium including programmed instructions to, when run on a computer, cause the computer to execute
detecting a user being within a threshold distance range of an information processing apparatus; -
starting emission of radio waves to perform radio communication with a radio tag, and obtaining information from the radio tag, at least after a time point at which the user, being within the threshold distance range, is detected; executing first authentication for the radio tag, based on the information obtained; causing an imaging device to image a user, and acquiring an image including the user; executing second authentication for the user included in the image, based on feature information of the image acquired; and authorizing the user to use the information processing apparatus, upon a user of the radio tag authenticated by the first authentication being a same user as the user authenticated by the second authentication.
