Abstract

Disclosed herein is an information processor configured to register user face identification data, the information processor including: a captured image display section adapted to display part of a captured image on a display; a guidance display section adapted to display, on the display, guidance prompting a user to rotate his or her face relative to an imaging device; and a registration processing section adapted to register face identification data based on user's face image included in the captured image after or while the guidance is displayed.

Claims (28)

1. An information processing device configured to register user face identification data, the information processing device comprising:

a processor;

an imaging device;

a display;

a captured image display section adapted to display part of a captured image from the imaging device on the display;

a guidance display section adapted to display, on the display, guidance prompting a user to rotate his or her face relative to the imaging device; and

a registration processing section adapted to register, using the processor, face identification data based on user's face image included in the captured image after or while the guidance is displayed,

wherein the registration processing section requires the user to move the user's face in step with a motion of the guidance and

wherein the guidance is displayed until a completion notice is received.

2. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the captured image display section displays, on the display, an enlarged view of the user's face area included in the captured image.

3. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the guidance display section displays, on the display, first guidance prompting the user to move his or her face in a first rotating direction and second guidance prompting the user to move his or her face in a second rotating direction, and the registration processing section registers first face identification data based on a face image obtained by moving the user's face in the first rotating direction after or while the first guidance is displayed, and the registration processing section registers second face identification data based on a face image obtained by moving the user's face in the second rotating direction after or while the second guidance is displayed.

4. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the guidance display section displays guidance showing a two- or three-dimensional object that moves in a given rotating direction.

5. The information processing device of claim 4 , wherein the guidance display section determines the size of the object in accordance with the size of the user's face image on the display.

6. The information processing device of claim 4 , wherein the guidance display section displays, on the display, the object with reference to the position of the user's face image on the display.

7. The information processing device of claim 1 , wherein the guidance display section displays guidance prompting the user to move the face in one rotating direction separately in demonstration and registration modes, and the registration processing section does not register face identification data in demonstration mode but registers face identification data in registration mode.

8. The information processing device of claim 7 , wherein the guidance display section displays the guidance in demonstration mode and the guidance in registration mode in different manners.

9. A method for registering a user on an image processing device, the method comprising:

displaying part of a captured image on a display of the image processing device;

displaying, on the display, guidance prompting the user to rotate his or her face relative to an imaging device; and

registering face identification data based on user's face image included in the captured image after or while the guidance is displayed

wherein the registering requires the user to move the user's face in step with a motion of the guidance and

the guidance is displayed until a completion notice is received.

10. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program for a computer, the program including:

displaying part of a captured image on a display,

displaying, on the display, guidance prompting a user to rotate his or her face relative to an imaging device, and

registering face identification data based on user's face image included in the captured image after or while the guidance is displayed

wherein the registering requires the user to move the user's face in step with a motion of the guidance, and

the guidance is displayed until a completion notice is received.
