determine a creditworthiness of a person based on attribute information of the person;

associate between biometric information of the person, identification information of baggage possessed by the person, and the creditworthiness, the biometric information of the person and the identification information of the baggage being simultaneously acquired from one captured image; and

change a threshold for a body inspection of the person based on the creditworthiness and a result of a baggage inspection of the baggage completed earlier than the body inspection,

wherein the identification information of the baggage is identification information of a tray in which the baggage is stored at the time of baggage inspection, and

wherein the body inspection comprises scanning the person by a millimeter wave scanner, determining, by an edge server, whether a target article is included in the body of the person based on a result of scanning the person by the millimeter wave scanner, and controlling a display to output a result of determining whether the target article is included in the body of the person.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement, in parallel based on the link information, a baggage inspection for determining whether or not a target article restricted from being carried into a restricted area is included in the baggage and a body inspection for determining whether or not the target article is possessed by the person.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement changing, based on a result of one inspection of the baggage inspection and the body inspection, detection conditions of the target article in another inspection.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement, when the target article is detected in the one inspection of the baggage inspection and the body inspection, setting the threshold for the security inspection of the target article in the another inspection higher than a currently set value.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement:

acquiring attribute information by matching process of the registered biometric information and the biometric information preliminarily associated with the attribute information of the person; and

changing detection conditions of the target article in each of the baggage inspection and the body inspection based on the attribute information.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the attribute information includes at least one of a gender, an age, and nationality of the person.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the attribute information includes inspection history information of the body inspection and the baggage inspection that were performed.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement, when the inspection history information indicating that the target article was detected in the past is acquired, setting the threshold for the security inspection of the target article higher than a currently set value.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the attribute information includes travel history information of the person.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement determining a storage location of the baggage based on a result of the baggage inspection and controls the conveyance of the baggage to the storage location.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement, when the target article is not detected in the baggage inspection and the body inspection, causing a display terminal to display information regarding the storage location of the baggage.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement causing the display terminal to display information regarding the storage location based on a result of matching between a second biometric information of the person acquired by the display terminal and the biometric information included in the link information.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement controlling an ejecting of the baggage from a storage device based on a result of matching between a third biometric information of the person acquired in a storage device at the storage location and the biometric information included in the link information.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement, when the target article is detected in the body inspection or the baggage inspection, outputting detection information of the target article to a predetermined operation terminal.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement the baggage inspection based on a learning model that previously learned the relationship between an image capturing the baggage and feature information regarding the target article.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to implement the body inspection based on a learning model that previously learned the relationship between an image capturing a body of the person and feature information regarding the target article.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric information and the identification information are acquired from a captured image in which the person and the baggage are shown.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 17 , the identification information is any of a character, a graphic, or a barcode acquired from the captured image of a container storing the baggage.

19. An information processing method comprising:

determining a creditworthiness of a person based on attribute information of the person;

associating between biometric information of the person, identification information of baggage possessed by the person, and the creditworthiness, the biometric information of the person and the identification information of the baggage being simultaneously acquired from one captured image; and

changing a threshold for a body inspection of the person based on the creditworthiness and a result of a baggage inspection of the baggage completed earlier than the body inspection,

wherein the identification information of the baggage is identification information of a tray in which the baggage is stored at the time of baggage inspection, and

wherein the body inspection comprises scanning the person by a millimeter wave scanner, determining, by an edge server, whether a target article is included in the body of the person based on a result of scanning the person by the millimeter wave scanner, and controlling a display to output a result of determining whether the target article is included in the body of the person.

20. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program that causes a computer to perform:

determining a creditworthiness of a person based on attribute information of the person;
