PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a higher security level than the case of utilizing only facial identification technology.SOLUTION: The unlock apparatus 10 with personal authentication performs a face recognition by capturing an facial image of a person to be authenticated; recognizes a pronounced password based on his/her lip movements; and performs personal authentication, based on the recognized face and the recognized password. Then, the unlock apparatus 10 with personal authentication, according to the authentication results, unlocks a door to enter a security area, for example. Meanwhile, the person to be authenticated should move the lips in silence, without pronouncing the password in the same manner in which he actually pronounces the password;, and this would prevent leakage of the password, since no one is able to hear the password. The invention is applicable to, for example, personal authentication apparatuses. |
