Abstract

A terminal includes a determination request unit and a registration unit. The determination request unit transmits to a server apparatus a determination request including biometric information of a target person to be determined regarding a determination as to whether or not a system registration is made to proceed with a predetermined procedure using an authentication terminal that supports biometric authentication. When the target person to be determined is not registered in a system, a registration unit transmits a token issuance request that includes biometric information of the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system to the server apparatus. By transmitting the token issuance request, the registration unit requests the server apparatus to register the target person to be determined in the system who is not registered in system.

Claims (61)

1 . A terminal, comprising:

at least one memory storing a set of instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:

transmit to a server apparatus a determination request including biometric information of a target person to be determined regarding a determination as to whether or not a system registration is made to proceed with a predetermined procedure using an authentication terminal that supports biometric authentication; and

request the server apparatus to register the target person to be determined in a system who is not registered in the system by transmitting a token issuance request including biometric information of the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system to the server apparatus, when the target person to be determined is not registered in the system.

2 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

provide a guidance for the target person to be determined to proceed with the predetermined procedure.

3 . The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein, when the target person to be determined is registered in the system,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

provides the guidance regarding the authentication terminal to the target person to be determined who is registered in the system.

4 . The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein, when the target person to be determined is not registered in the system,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

provide the guidance regarding an apparatus different from the authentication terminal to the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system.

5 . The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

acquire whether or not the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system wishes to register with the system, and

wherein, when the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system wishes to register with the system,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

transmit the token issuance request to the server apparatus.

6 . The terminal according to claim 2 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

control a mode of operation of own apparatus,

wherein, in a first mode of operation,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

acquire whether or not the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system wishes to register with the system, and, when the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system wishes to register with the system,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

transmit the token issuance request to the server apparatus, and

wherein, in a second mode of operation,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

provide the guidance for the target person to be determined to proceed with the predetermined procedure, and

wherein, in a third mode of operation,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

acquire whether or not the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system wishes to register with the system, and, when the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system wishes to register with the system,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

prompt to register with the system on a different apparatus from own terminal, and

wherein, in a fourth mode of operation,

the at least one processor is configured not provide the guidance for the target person to be determined to proceed with the predetermined procedure.

7 . The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein, in the fourth mode of operation,

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

transmit the token issuance request including biometric information of the target person to be determined who wishes to register with the system to the server apparatus when the target person to be determined wishes to register with the system.

8 . The terminal according to claim 6 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

set the mode of operation to the second mode of operation when the authentication terminal is in operation, and set the mode of operation to the fourth mode of operation when the authentication terminal is not in operation.

9 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

transmit the token issuance request including biometric information, passport information and boarding pass information of the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system to the server apparatus.

10 . The terminal according to claim 9 , installed at a facility that is different from an airport.

11 . The terminal according to claim 1 , set to a mode of operation according to an installation location.

12 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric information is a face image or a feature value generated from the face image.

13 . A system, comprising:

an authentication terminal that supports biometric authentication;

a server apparatus that performs the biometric authentication using biometric information; and

a terminal,

wherein the terminal comprising:

the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:

transmit to the server apparatus a determination request including biometric information of a target person to be determined regarding a determination as to whether or not a system registration is made to proceed with a predetermined procedure using the authentication terminal; and

request the server apparatus to register the target person to be determined in a system who is not registered in the system by transmitting a token issuance request including biometric information of the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system to the server apparatus, when the target person to be determined is not registered in the system.

14 . A control method of a terminal, the control method comprising:

transmitting to a server apparatus a determination request including biometric information of a target person to be determined regarding a determination as to whether or not a system registration is made to proceed with a predetermined procedure using an authentication terminal that supports biometric authentication; and

requesting the server apparatus to register the target person to be determined in a system who is not registered in the system by transmitting a token issuance request including biometric information of the target person to be determined who is not registered in the system to the server apparatus, when the target person to be determined is not registered in the system.
