The device includes first means for splitting a biometric pattern image into a plurality of regions, assigning index numbers to the respective split-pattern images, and storing them in a split-image table; second means for splitting a newly read biometric pattern image into a plurality of regions, comparing each of the split-pattern images with the split-pattern images stored in the split-image table, acquiring or assigning, depending on if the split-image table is determined to have stored therein a similar split-pattern image, an index number to the relevant split-pattern image of the newly read pattern image, and storing them in the split-image table; and third means for creating, as biometric information that represents a feature of the newly read biometric pattern, an index number list composed of the index number. |
