a color of light emitted from the first LED illumination is controlled according to the state of the authentication process, and

the state of the authentication process includes at least one of a standby state, a passage permit state or a passage non-permit state.

2 . The authentication gate according to claim 1 ,

wherein a connection portion between the support region and the reading section side region has a curved shape.

3 . The authentication gate according to claim 1 , wherein:

a surface of the reading section is inclined downward toward the second side surface and is inclined downward toward the reading section side region; and

the support region is formed in a direction parallel to an inclination direction of a surface of the reading section.

4 . The authentication gate according to claim 1 , wherein:

the top surface includes a detachable lid; and

a space is formed below the lid along the longitudinal direction.

5 . The authentication gate according to claim 4 , wherein:

the top surface further includes a frame, and a second LED illumination at a slit between the detachable lid and the frame, and

the second LED illumination is controlled to emit a color in coordination with the color of the light emitted from the first LED illumination.

6 . The authentication gate according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a camera configured to acquire an image of surroundings of the authentication gate, wherein

the authentication process is performed based on the authentication data and the image.

7 . The authentication gate according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an opening in a central portion of the first side surface; and

a transparent plate in the opening.

8 . The authentication gate according to claim 1 , wherein

the color of the light emitted from the first LED illumination is changed among first through third different colors corresponding to the standby state, the passage permit state and the passage non-permit state.

9 . The authentication gate according to claim 8 , wherein:

the top surface further includes a frame, and a second LED illumination at a slit between the detachable lid and the frame, and

the second LED illumination is controlled to emit a color in coordination with the color of the light emitted from the first LED illumination.
