Abstract

A biological pattern information processing device includes: a detection result obtaining unit that obtains unique region information that is detected based on biological pattern information representing a biological pattern, the unique region information representing a unique region included in the biological pattern; and a display control unit that causes the unique region to be displayed using a display attribute, based on the obtained unique region information, the display attribute being different from that for a region of the biological pattern other than the unique region.

Claims (43)

1. A fingerprint information processing device comprising:

at least one memory storing instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain unique region information that is detected based on fingerprint information representing a fingerprint, the unique region information representing a unique region included in the fingerprint, the fingerprint having a damaged biological pattern within the unique region;

cause a display attribute, the unique region, and a region of the fingerprint other than the unique region to be displayed based on the obtained unique region information, the display attribute being indicative of being the unique region;

cause, according to a type of the unique region, a process that is executable with respect to the unique region to be displayed;

determine an abnormality degree of the unique region;

repair the damaged biological pattern within the unique region; and

collate the fingerprint information including the unique region in which the damaged biological pattern has been repaired.

2. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to: cause the type of the unique region to be displayed based on the unique region information.

3. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to: switch display between: display of the unique region; display of the region of the fingerprint other than the unique region; and both of the display of the unique region and the display of the region of the fingerprint other than the unique region.

4. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:

obtain fingerprint information that has been repaired to fingerprint information with no unique region based on the unique region information; and

cause the repaired fingerprint information to be displayed.

5. A fingerprint information processing method comprising:

obtaining unique region information that is detected based on fingerprint information representing a fingerprint, the unique region information representing a unique region included in the fingerprint, the fingerprint having a damaged biological pattern within the unique region;

causing a display attribute, the unique region, and a region of the fingerprint other than the unique region to be displayed based on the obtained unique region information, the display attribute being indicative of being the unique region;

causing, according to a type of the unique region, a process that is executable with respect to the unique region to be displayed;

determining an abnormality degree of the unique region;

repairing the damaged biological pattern within the unique region; and

collating the fingerprint information including the unique region in which the damaged biological pattern has been repaired.

6. The fingerprint information processing method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

causing the type of the unique region to be displayed based on the unique region information.

7. The fingerprint information processing method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

switching display between: display of the unique region; display of the region of the fingerprint other than the unique region; and both of the display of the unique region and the display of the region of the fingerprint other than the unique region.

8. The fingerprint information processing method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

obtaining fingerprint information that has been repaired to fingerprint information with no unique region based on the unique region information; and

causing the repaired fingerprint information to be displayed.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program that causes a computer to execute:

obtaining unique region information that is detected based on fingerprint information representing a fingerprint, the unique region information representing a unique region included in the fingerprint, the fingerprint having a damaged biological pattern within the unique region;

causing a display attribute, the unique region, and a region of the fingerprint other than the unique region to be displayed based on the obtained unique region information, the display attribute being indicative of being the unique region;

causing, according to a type of the unique region, a process that is executable with respect to the unique region to be displayed;

determining an abnormality degree of the unique region;

repairing the damaged biological pattern within the unique region; and

collating the fingerprint information including the unique region in which the damaged biological pattern has been repaired.

10. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the display attribute is an attribute that enables the unique region to be distinguished from the region of the fingerprint other than the unique region.

11. The fingerprint information processing method according to claim 5 , wherein the display attribute is an attribute that enables the unique region to be distinguished from the region of the fingerprint other than the unique region.

12. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the abnormality degree is determined based on at least one of direction change of a ridge of the fingerprint or pitch change of the ridge.

13. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the abnormality degree is expressed with gradations.

14. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to:

determine whether or not the unique region was produced by Z-plasty; and

cause a button for selecting whether or not to perform a repair process to be displayed when it is determined that the unique region was produced by the Z-plasty.

15. The fingerprint information processing device according to claim 14 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the instructions to: cause a button for selecting whether or not to perform a collation process using the fingerprint information in which unique region has been repaired by the repair process.
