<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute authentication without making bio information open to a third party (an authentication center) in authenticating a user by the bio information. <P>SOLUTION: In the electric settlement system for identifying a person by fingerprint recognition, a user is identified without the fingerprint information of the user to be revealed to a retailer or the authentication center. Thus, a portable telephone storing a fingerprint identifying device registers a fingerprint of the user beforehand, and when the fingerprint the user has inputted coincides with fingerprint collation, a bar-code specific to the user which a settlement management site has issued is displayed on the display of the portable telephone. The retailer makes settlement by reading this bar-code with a POS scanner, transmitting the read bar-code to the settlement management site, and receiving the authentication of the user. In this way, the system is capable of authenticating the user without making the fingerprint information open to the third party. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
