Abstract

Provided is a processing system including a detection unit that detects that a moving body is at a specified position; an input receiving unit that receives a user input that requests to start authentication; a biological information acquisition unit that executes an acquisition process of acquiring biological information, when the user input is received in a state where the moving body is detected to be at the specified position; an authentication unit that executes an inspector authentication process on the basis of the biological information acquired in the acquisition process; and an output unit that executes a predetermined output process, when an authentication result is an authentication success.

7. A processing system comprising:

at least one memory configured to store one or more instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the one or more instructions to:

detect that a moving body is at a specified position;

receive a user input that requests to start authentication, wherein the user input is accepted via a rope switch, a physical button, a touch panel, a microphone, a mouse, or a keyboard;

detect that a window of the moving body is open;

execute an acquisition process of acquiring biological information, and imaging a face of a person riding on the moving body and generating an image when the window is detected as being open;

execute an inspector authentication process based on the biological information acquired in the acquisition process, when the user input is received in a state where the moving body is detected to be at the specified position; and

execute a predetermined output process, when an authentication result is an authentication success,

wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the one or more instructions to execute detect that the window of the moving body is open by:

emitting electromagnetic waves towards a window position of the moving body when the moving body is detected to be at the specified positioned;
