1. A wearable article comprising:
an annular casing that surrounds a space into which a body part of a user is to be inserted;
an imaging element that is provided in the annular casing, the imaging element configured to capture a first image of the space;
an authentication circuit configured to authenticate the user based on a second image of biometric information previously stored in a storage and the first image of the space, in a case where there is a change from a first state in which the body part is not present in the space to a second state in which the body part is present in the space;
a proximity sensor that is provided in the annular casing and configured to output a sensor value in accordance with a positional relationship between the annular casing and the body part;
a wearing determination circuit configured to determine whether the body part is present in the space, based on the sensor value; and
a light source configured to emit light based on an authentication result of the authentication circuit to notify the user of the authentication result.
2. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the light source is configured to emit green light based on the authentication result being an authentication success, and the light source is configured to emit red light based on the authentication result being an authentication failure.
3. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication circuit is further configured to perform the authentication at a first position in the body part different from a second position in the body part at which the annular casing is worn.
4. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the imaging element obtains the image in a state where the annular casing is worn by the user at a first position that is closer towards a fingertip of the user than a second position at a base of a finger of the user at which the annular casing is worn.
5. The wearable article according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a communicator configured to enable wireless communication according to the authentication result of the authentication circuit.
6. The wearable article according to claim 5 , wherein the communicator is further configured to transmit personal information.
7. The wearable article according to claim 5 , wherein the annular casing enables use of the authentication result of the authentication circuit for personal identification.
8. The wearable article according to claim 5 , wherein the casing enables use of a payment service according to the authentication result of the authentication circuit.
9. The wearable article according to claim 5 , wherein the annular casing enables riding on a transit system according to the authentication result of the authentication circuit.
10. The wearable article according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a power storage device configured to store electric power,
wherein the power storage device is further configured to receive electric power transmitted from a non-contact supply device.
11. The wearable article according to claim 10 , wherein the power storage device is further configured to receive electric power in a case where the body part is not present in the space and the annular casing is stationary.
12. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric information includes at least one of a vein and a pattern of wrinkles on a skin.
13. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the authentication circuit is further configured to perform the authentication with the annular casing being aligned with a position of a root of a fingernail.
14. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the annular casing includes a finger ring having a ring shape.
15. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric information includes a fingerprint.
16. The wearable article according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric information corresponds to an image of a biometric feature of the user.
17. The wearable article according to claim 2 , wherein the light source is configured to cause the emitted red light to blink based on the authentication result being the authentication failure.
18. A wearable article comprising:
an annular casing that surrounds a space into which a body part of a user is to be inserted;
an imaging element that is provided in the annular casing, the imaging element configured to capture a first image of the space;
an authentication circuit configured to authenticate the user based on a second image of biometric information previously stored in a storage and the first image of the space, in a case where there is a change from a first state in which the body part is not present in the space to a second state in which the body part is present in the space;
a sensor that is provided in the annular casing and configured to output a sensor value in accordance with a distance information between the annular casing and the body part;
a wearing determination circuit configured to determine whether the body part is present in the space, based on the sensor value; and
a light source configured to emit light based on an authentication result of the authentication circuit to notify the user of the authentication result.
