Authentication apparatus, authentication system, authentication method, and recording medium having authentication program recorded thereon

摘要

Print data including a provisional registration command is received. When the print data including the provisional registration command is received, an authentication code is obtained. The authentication code is stored in a user information DB. Provisional registration data is obtained from the user information DB. Then, a list of provisional registration data is displayed. It is determined whether the provisional registration data is selectively input or not. If the provisional registration data is selectively input, user information in which IC card information or biological information and the authentication code are associated with each other is transmitted to an authentication server. The authentication server executes a process of registering the received user information.

主权项

1. An authentication apparatus comprising:
a network reception portion for receiving an authentication code included in a provisional registration command, the provisional registration command being input at a user terminal; an inquiring unit for inquiring whether information corresponding to the authentication code is stored in an authentication server; a memory for storing the authentication code received by the network reception portion for provisional registration when the information corresponding to the authentication code is not stored in said authentication server; a reading device for reading identification data that is card identification information of an IC card or biological information; and a controller for controlling an authentication apparatus, said controller obtaining an authentication result of said authentication server based on said identification data read by said reading device; determining whether the authentication code is stored in said memory when the authentication result indicates authentication has failed; obtaining the authentication code from said memory; transmitting user information to said authentication server to be registered for full registration in the authentication server when the authentication code has been determined to be stored in said memory and the authentication result indicates authentication has failed, the user information including the identification data read by said reading device and the authentication code obtained from said memory, the identification data and the authentication code being associated with each other; and executing a user authentication process with said authentication server, based on the user information registered as the full registration in said authentication server.
