Abstract

An information processing device includes an acquisition unit, an authentication request unit, a generation unit, and a determination unit. The authentication request unit causes biometric authentication to be performed on biometric information about a user acquired by one or more installed terminals arranged in various places to be compared with biometric information about registered users. The acquisition unit acquires time information about a time when the biometric authentication has been successful. The generation unit generates route information about the user based on position information about the one or more installed terminals for which the biometric authentication has been successful and the time information about the time when the biometric authentication has been successful. The determination unit determines a privilege for the user based on the route information.
