Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes, a processor configured to execute a process including, determining whether a relationship between biometric information acquired from a living body and biometric information stored in a storage unit satisfies a predetermined standard, creating first authentication information by detecting predetermined operation when the relationship between the biometric information acquired from the living body and the biometric information stored in the storage unit does not satisfy the predetermined standard, comparing the first authentication information and second authentication information stored in the storage unit, and activating the information processing apparatus when the first authentication information and the second authentication information match.

Claims (40)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to execute a process including:

determining whether a relationship between biometric information acquired from a living body and biometric information stored in a storage unit satisfies a predetermined standard;

creating first authentication information by detecting predetermined operation when the relationship between the biometric information acquired from the living body and the biometric information stored in the storage unit does not satisfy the predetermined standard;

comparing the first authentication information and second authentication information stored in the storage unit; and

activating the information processing apparatus when the first authentication information and the second authentication information match;

a distance sensor configured to measure a distance to the living body; and

a vein sensor or a camera configured to image the living body,

wherein the predetermined operation includes tapping operation, in which the living body moves from a first area to a second area different from the first area, and then the living body moves from the second area to the first area, and scrolling operation, in which the living body moves in a predetermined direction from the first area,

the first area is a first distance away from the distance sensor,

the second area is a second distance away from the distance sensor,

the second distance is shorter than the first distance,

the distance sensor is used to detect the tapping operation, and

the vein sensor or the camera is used to detect the scrolling operation.

2. A control method comprising:

determining, by a processor, whether a relationship between biometric information acquired from a living body and biometric information stored in a storage unit satisfies a predetermined standard;

creating, by the processor, first authentication information by detecting predetermined operation when the relationship between the biometric information acquired from the living body and the biometric information stored in the storage unit does not satisfy the predetermined standard;

comparing, by the processor, the first authentication information and second authentication information stored in the storage unit;

activating, by the processor, an information processing apparatus when the first authentication information and the second authentication information match;

measuring, by a distance sensor, a distance to the living body; and

imaging, a vein sensor or a camera, the living body,

wherein the predetermined operation includes tapping operation, in which the living body moves from a first area to a second area different from the first area, and then the living body moves from the second area to the first area, and scrolling operation, in which the living body moves in a predetermined direction from the first area,

the first area is a first distance away from the distance sensor,

the second area is a second distance away from the distance sensor,

the second distance is shorter than the first distance,

the distance sensor is used to detect the tapping operation, and

the vein sensor or the camera is used to detect the scrolling operation.

3. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

determining whether a relationship between biometric information acquired from a living body and biometric information stored in a storage unit satisfies a predetermined standard;

creating first authentication information by detecting predetermined operation when the relationship between the biometric information acquired from the living body and the biometric information stored in the storage unit does not satisfy the predetermined standard;

comparing the first authentication information and second authentication information stored in the storage unit; and

activating an information processing apparatus when the first authentication information and the second authentication information match,

wherein the predetermined operation includes tapping operation, in which the living body moves from a first area to a second area different from the first area, and then the living body moves from the second area to the first area, and scrolling operation, in which the living body moves in a predetermined direction from the first area,

the computer is connected to a distance sensor that measures a distance to the living body,

the computer is connected to a vein sensor or a camera that images the living body,

the first area is a first distance away from the distance sensor,

the second area is a second distance away from the distance sensor,

the second distance is shorter than the first distance,

the distance sensor is used to detect the tapping operation, and

the vein sensor or the camera is used to detect the scrolling operation.
