<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow variation in physical information used for reducing the time for biological authentication in 1:N authentication, that is, to effectively narrow down physical information even when the physical information varies when biological information used for biological authentication (comparison) is narrowed down utilizing physical information. <P>SOLUTION: In the biological authentification method using feature information, data is registered beforehand by associating user biological information with physical information; the user physical information is utilized at the time of biological authentication; biological information from data in the vicinity of the physical information at the time of the authentication is compared; and the time required for subsequent authentication is reduced by updating the registered physical information if there is a difference of a predetermined amount or more between the physical information at the time of the authentication and the registered physical information. The invention also includes sorting the registered data in the order of the values indicated by the physical information for this comparison, and performing comparison in the sorted order. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
