PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a personal identification method in the form of query and response to an action history of a user. SOLUTION: User action history information (which may also be referred to as "life log"), including commodity information purchased by the user, station gate entry/exit information and date/time information, is either uploaded to a server or stored in a memory device or a mobile phone carried by the user. An authentication system selects a category of the purchased commodity etc. using a predetermined method. The authentication system then issues a question (which may also be referred to as "query") inquiring the commodity most recently purchased by the user, a used route name and answer options (which may also be referred to as "menu" or "correct answer" and "trap data"). When the answer from the user is correct (password), the user is authenticated as an authentic user. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
