The vein authentication means used in the present invention is a fixed type installed in a store or the like, a portable type that can be carried by an individual and allows authentication procedures at the portable destination, and only the vein reading means is a portable device. It is conceivable that the received data is transmitted to a fixed type authentication device by radio or the like and an authentication procedure is performed on the fixed side. These are appropriately selected according to the gist of the invention.
It is also possible to use a portable vein authentication unit that stores an electronic certificate so that the electronic certificate can be used in more situations. By using vein authentication as a condition when using an electronic certificate, its security can be further increased.

  As a portable vein authentication means, a finger placement unit for placing a finger on which a vein pattern should be detected, and a detection light irradiation unit for irradiating detection light toward the finger placed on the finger placement unit, An apparatus including an optical sensor that captures the finger vein pattern illuminated by receiving the detection light from the detection light irradiation unit can be used.

  It should be noted that an authentication method with higher security using an electronic certificate can be proposed by further including a storage unit in which an electronic certificate corresponding to the ID information of the device is registered in advance. In that case, in the initial setting, the vein pattern imaged by the optical sensor is associated with the electronic certificate as a secret code, and the electronic certificate can be used when the read vein pattern is authentic at the time of use. It is possible to provide a vein authentication apparatus for electronic certification characterized by the above.

  Here, the electronic certificate to be registered in advance is a temporary electronic certificate, and if it is replaced with a true electronic certificate on condition that user information is provided in the initial setting, the association with the user can be performed accurately. Can do.

In the present invention, the following structure is adopted in order to be portable.
That is, the detection light irradiation unit is disposed obliquely below the finger placement unit.
The optical sensor is disposed on the side opposite to the detection light irradiating unit with the mounting unit in between.

  Accordingly, one surface of the housing is covered with a translucent material, a part of which is used as a finger placement unit, the detection light irradiation unit is disposed obliquely below the finger placement unit, and the optical sensor is placed. An authentication device arranged inside the opposite side of the detection light irradiating unit can be configured with the unit interposed therebetween.

  A day of my finger pass recently

  The story to be described is the day of Mr. N, the sales manager, who works for a certain company. With the introduction of a vein authentication device, Mr. N's day has become completely different.

  The vein authentication means to be used includes a portable type, a fixed installation type, and an intermediate form thereof. Examples of the portable type include a portable vein authentication device as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a cell phone with a vein authentication unit built in, a IC card with a vein authentication unit built in, and the like. The devices in FIGS. 1 to 3 include those with an electronic certificate and those that do not, but will be described later because the description is long.

  The fixed installation type vein authentication means can be exemplified by a device built in a bank ATM device or a device installed at an entrance / exit of a facility, and a vein information acquisition unit for acquiring user vein information, and the vein information The vein information acquired by the acquisition unit is collated with vein authentication information stored in a memory, and authentication means for determining whether or not authentication is possible is provided.

  In the intermediate type, a portable IC card or the like is provided with a vein information acquisition unit that acquires the vein information of the user and a transmission unit that wirelessly transmits the acquired vein information. A receiving means for receiving the transmitted vein information and an authentication means for comparing the vein information received by the receiving means with the vein authentication information stored in the memory and determining whether or not authentication is possible are provided.

These devices are appropriately arranged at the facilities of the company where they work, at the reception of sports clubs, and the like.
Let's start talking.

  I woke up cleanly this morning. Is it the effect of a sports club that began to go half a year ago? 3Kg weight loss and light body movement. The daily habit is to check the news you are interested in on the Nikkei BP website. If you log in to your computer with a finger pass, the titles of national newspapers, industrial three newspapers, and industry newspapers will be displayed with pre-registered keywords, so check the main articles. If you can't read it, transfer it to your phone. You pay only for what you read, and you can forward important articles to your colleagues.

  No, it has become a convenient world. A device for vein authentication is incorporated in a mobile phone (see FIG. 4), and a vein information acquisition unit a1 that acquires user vein information and the vein information acquired by the vein information acquisition unit a1 are stored in a memory. It has an authentication means a2 that collates with the vein authentication information stored in and determines whether or not authentication is possible. Of course, in the initial setting, its own vein information is registered as the vein authentication information. Vein authentication is useful because it can authenticate specific individuals. If you are not the person, you can not Logon, so the billing is clear. You will not be charged for others by mistake.

  When you log on your phone with a finger pass, you will be asked for a breakfast menu. When toast, ham egg, and milk are selected and transmitted, the calorie intake is registered in the database b2 provided in the server b1 of the sports club and reflected in the next training menu (see FIG. 5). Naturally, security is safe because it is well protected with a finger path. Other member data is also registered in the database b2 of the server b1.

  Since the breakfast menu data selected by the mobile phone b3 is transmitted from the mobile phone together with the member ID via the Internet, the server side that receives this data registers it with the date in the recording area corresponding to the member ID. In the database b2, foods and calories per unit weight thereof are registered in association with each other. When foods ingested by a member are registered, the calories consumed are calculated and recorded. Of course, the weight of food need not be recorded accurately. For example, three classifications of small, medium and large are sufficient. Although this is a rough classification in a certain sense, there is no problem because the tendency (type and amount) of eating can be known if recorded continuously.

  From the sports club server b2, the amount of exercise necessary for the day is sent to Mr. N's mobile phone b3 by mobile mail. An exercise menu according to caloric intake last night and this morning is made and sent to the mobile phone. Walking 3000 steps, swimming 30 minutes, aerobics 50 minutes, etc. If you do this menu, register to that effect. Of course, health management information such as weight and blood pressure at that time is also recorded. Health management is now complete. Management information is also communicated to Mr. N's attending physician's clinic, so it is safe in the event of an emergency.

  These pieces of information are personal information. Personal information is managed on the server side via the Internet. It is necessary to have you manage well. Health information is information that drug companies and health food companies want to drool. I want you to manage it safely.

  Read the continuation of the news while shaking the train. There is a movement to be worried about competitors. Immediately forward to subordinates and send survey instructions. When you arrive at the company, hold your finger pass IC card c1 over the security gate c2. In this way, the fact that the company has entered the work directory of the personnel database c3 is registered (see FIG. 6). My work situation and all entrances and exits are recorded. In the past, I was self-reporting my attendance status with Excel, but I think it was a waste of work.

  This kind of attendance management is done with the finger pass, so unlike the time when it was managed with a paper time card, sloppy management has become ineffective. The device for attendance management compares the vein information acquisition unit c4 that acquires the vein information of the user with the vein authentication information stored in the memory by acquiring the vein information acquired by the vein information acquisition unit c4, and whether or not authentication is possible. Authentication means c5 is determined (FIG. 6). When the authentication is completed, a flag indicating that the employee has worked in the attendance record of the personnel database c3 is set. While the flag is on, you are inside the company. Note that the flag goes to sleep when the finger pass IC card c1 is held over the security gate c2 to go out.

  All entrances to and exits from the facility are done with the same device using a finger pass, so all of the departments I entered and exited during my work are recorded. When you get on the elevator and get to the floor, hold your finger pass IC card c1 at the entrance and then your finger pass. Since my floor handles personal information and confidential information, it is forbidden for anyone other than employees to enter and leave. As soon as you hold the card c1 and pass your finger, the key will open and you will enter the free address office. Since it is a free address, take out your materials and luggage from the locker. This is also a finger pass. The finger pass by vein authentication is optimal for realizing office security.

  Today, the weather is nice, so I'll take a look at the window. Since we are all thin clients, if you pass the finger pass IC card c1 hanging from your neck over the IC card reader and send your finger pass information, the desktop you used when you logged out yesterday will be reproduced immediately. Since all data is stored in the server's hard disk, no information is leaked from the PC.

  Check your email to see today ’s schedule. The enrollment information is transferred to the IP phone server d5 at the moment of passing the finger to Thin Client, so that the internal extension and voice message can be used immediately without troublesome settings. (Fig. 7)

  The apparatus for starting Thin Client compares the vein information acquisition unit d1 that acquires the vein information of the user with the vein authentication information stored in the memory by acquiring the vein information acquired by the vein information acquisition unit d1, and whether authentication is possible or not. Authentication means d2 for determining. When the authentication is completed, the Thin Client usage environment is prepared, and the information registered in the server d3 can be edited. Further, the communication means d4 is activated on the condition of authentication, and the activation information is transmitted as enrollment information to the IP telephone server d5. Thin Client can register a desktop environment in accordance with personal attributes on the server d3 side. The registered desktop environment is read out at the same time as the finger pass, so you can reproduce your favorite environment anywhere.

  A finger pass system for vein authentication is also provided at the entrance of the conference room. If you pass your finger, you can also transfer the extension. If you don't want to be interrupted, you can pass your finger when you leave. It ’s convenient that you ’re in voice message mode and your phone wo n’t be too loud.

  That is, on the condition that it is authenticated as true by the finger path system, the telephone exchange d6 permits the extension transfer by the extension transfer control means d7 that implements the extension transfer permission. Also, the interrupt prevention means d8 for preventing interruption on the condition of authentication sets the prevention of interruption on the condition of the finger path, and responds to automatically answer a telephone call and leave a voice message as a voice message mode. And record the other party's message accordingly. Of course, the exchange d6 is connected to the server d5, and the server d5 monitors the recording state of the voice message and manages it for each client.

  When you return to your seat after the conference, you can see that three voice messages have been collected on the Thin Client display. Hurry up and checked the message, it was all a message from ABC car Mr. Otani. Hurry up and contact Otani. He wants to have an urgent meeting on a project under development. Fortunately, the schedule was free, so I decided to go to ABC car right away. Throw your luggage into the locker and leave the floor. When you leave, you must use your finger pass to unlock the key. Although Thin Client is not logged out, it is linked with the exit finger path, so if you are in a hurry, this is OK.

  Thin Client data is stored on the server d3 and the system is automatically shut down. In the past, it was inconvenient to logout one by one. As you can see from the above, the office infrastructure and Thin Client are linked. The entrance of the building is locked with an electronic lock. A finger pass authentication system is incorporated in the electronic lock locking / unlocking control system, and the control information is transmitted to Thin Client.

  ABC car Mr. Otani is an important partner who always meets twice a week. Today is a meeting at the development department, so entry and exit is a finger pass. Our company and ABC Automobile have an agreement on confidential information access for employees, and there is an area where people can enter and exit with a finger pass (Fig. 8). The content of the meeting is top secret. Receive important data on new development projects from Mr. Otani. Data is registered in the memory of the finger pass IC card c1 lowered from the neck. Since it is encrypted with the finger path and stored in the secret memory area, it becomes completely meaningless to others. When someone other than me accesses this memory, the auto-erase service erases the data, so you can safely drop it or be stolen.

The use of a finger path in such joint development is effective. In the above, the facility is shared with the finger path. By setting up an area where both companies can freely enter and exit specific parties, the common area can be set freely. For this reason, a facility shared management system has been established (FIG. 8). First, the joint project name is specified. The names and IDs of the parties involved in the business are registered. Each of those parties is assigned a facility that can be entered with a finger pass. Of course, depending on the position involved, there are differences in the facilities that can be entered. In addition, the period to be included is determined in accordance with the period of the joint project. In addition, decide the time of day to enter. Therefore, the management items are as follows and are registered in the database (FIG. 8).
Joint project name: Affiliated company: Name: ID: Facility to enter: Period to enter: Time zone

  The finger pass IC card c1 for finger pass authentication is held over the card reader e1 at the entrance of the room, the finger pass is executed, and when the finger pass IC card c1 is authenticated, the database e2 is accessed and the finger pass IC card c1 ID information is transmitted from. Then, the facility registered in the database e2 is collated, and the door is unlocked only when the person with the ID enters the facility. Even if there is a right to enter the room, it is also determined with reference to the above information whether it is a period to enter and a time zone to enter.

  With joint development, finger pass IC card c1 is indispensable. When data is registered in the memory of the IC card c1, it is encrypted with a finger pass and stored in a secret memory area, which makes it completely meaningless to others. If someone other than me accesses this memory, the auto-erase service will erase the data, so you can safely drop it or be stolen. That is, when registering information in the IC card, it has means f1 for encrypting with a finger path as a condition and data reading means f2 for decoding and reading with a finger path as a condition. The data reading means f2 includes, for example, an automatic erasing means f3 for erasing data stored in the secret memory area on condition that a finger pass error for three times of reading has continued (see FIG. 9).

  By the way, although the received data is a specification document today, it will be revised next week, so it will not be possible to read with DRM after next week. All logs of data copy and edit remain, and access records are shared with Mr. Otani. That is, a predetermined time is registered in the data, and when that time is reached, a flag indicating that the data cannot be read is set, and thereafter, the data cannot be accessed.

  Quickly return to the office, log on to Thin Client with a finger pass, and store the data in the memory in the document management server f4. With this alone, the necessary development officials are notified that the latest specifications have been updated, and changes are displayed in red on existing related documents. This eliminates the hassle of updating the list of changes and related documents. Since we know who modified when and how, it seems that opinions are exchanged on the document as if they were meeting while looking at the document. Here, we look at the access log and revision history of the data, compare the data before update with the data after update, identify from the access log when and what changes were made, and the means to display, that is, the change history A display f5 is provided (FIG. 8).

  After a while, an audit mail arrives. When a document is registered in the document management server f4, the identity is always confirmed to confirm the change. In this way, it is a mechanism to prevent falsification and data ancestor return by impersonation.

  If the old data is up, if the finger is not passed here, the update of the data is stopped after a certain period of time, and a notification is sent to the parties concerned. This freed us from managing the revision of the specification. It became convenient.

  Here, when someone reads the data, revises it, and registers for renewal, a means to send an audit mail to the person who accessed it on the condition of registration, and the finger pass authentication information from the person concerned for the audit mail Only when it is received, it is provided with regular update confirmation means f6 that officially accepts the update registration. If the finger pass authentication is not performed, the data before the revision is stored, so the data is not updated. At the same time, it is determined that there is an unauthorized access by an unauthenticated person, and a means f7 for notifying a related person of an alarm is provided.

  By the way, reading the detailed specifications on the display will make your eyes tired. Print it out and read it carefully. In the past, confidential documents that had been printed out were collected in the printer copier g1. In an environment where entry / exit management is not possible, well, it used to handle confidential information. Now, unless the finger is passed by the copying machine g1, the document for which the user has instructed printing is not discharged. When the finger was passed to the copying machine g1, the specifications were immediately discharged. Perhaps a few seconds later, ABC's Mr. Otani should have been informed that I printed at the company. I'm sure there will be a phone call. That is my usual habit.

  This vein authentication-equipped copying machine g1 has a reading device g2 for reading the finger pass authentication IC card c1, and has a printing control means g3 for starting printing on the condition that the authentication data from the IC card has been read. (FIG. 10). Of course, if the copier g1 is away from his / her seat, printing will not be necessary if printing is started after going to the copier g1, and printing is performed in advance by the copier g1 without requiring vein authentication to start printing. In addition, a lock device may be provided on the discharge tray, and the lock may be released by a finger path.

“Mr. Otani, this A34 access to CZH2 is different from the previous proposal, but wasn't it approved?”
“No, I approved. Did the specifications have not been fixed? I was going to ask Mr. Nakanishi for that.”
“Now, can I fix it here, but let Kumano do it right away?”
"Year, sorry, can you please?"
“No, it will take less than 10 minutes at this level. Well, because of the character of Kumano, I ’m going to say (laughs), but only the difference information will be sent by email, so please approve. "
Immediately instruct Kumano to make corrections. Sure enough, it's guzzy, but the correction came in 5 minutes.
“Okay, this is OK. I will approve.”

  Approval information is added to the corrected document with the finger pass, and the document is encrypted with the built-in encryption function of the finger pass IC card c1. Since Mr. Otani's registration information is registered as a document attribute, only Mr. Otani can decrypt and read it. Even if e-mail information is eavesdropped on the way, there is no problem because the data will destroy itself without permission even if it is accessed without a finger pass. Is it a technique that can be done because it is an object in which Viewer and Rights Management are integrated?

  Immediately after sending, Otani's approval tally arrived by email. When an approval tally is registered in our document management system, the document that ABC Motors has the authority to change is updated and registered as an official document. Since the original authenticity is authenticated from the ABC car with the time, there is no possibility of errors in the work itself. In the past, I went to the subcontractor to make a head-down by mistaking the specifications and arranging parts.

  Approval information adding means h1 for adding approval information to the revised document on the condition of authentication by vein authentication, and means h2 for encrypting the revised document. The approval information includes a person who has a specific decryption authority. It includes means (not shown) that includes attribute information and destroys data in response to access to the modified document by a person without decryption authority (FIG. 11).

  Then, a person who has the decryption authority decrypts the document by applying attribute information by vein authentication, and a viewer h4 for confirming the document, and approves it after confirmation. Approval tally generation means h5 that generates an approval tally by clicking a button or the like and attaches it to the mail. Here, if there is further correction, the editor is activated to correct it, and the additional corrected document is encrypted and sent back in the same manner as described above. The means h6 for authenticating the original authenticity together with the time uses time information from a time source having traceability issued by the time stamp authority as the time, so that the time is not falsified. (Reference: Time stamp mechanism of Amano Time Business Co., Ltd. http://www.e-timing.ne.jp/tsa/ts/mechanism.html)

  According to Mr. Otani's story, ABC's document management server far exceeds the capabilities of our server. In addition to checking the contents of documents and making corrections to related documents, the contents of specifications such as compliance checks and safety checks are also audited. It was important know-how to know too much, but we wanted to do the spec check as soon as possible. Otherwise, the trouble caused by mistakes in document management will not be removed.

  When one job was over, Mr. American business partner Mr. Has visited. Mr. Is the technical development manager of an American security company. I came to visit us for the experiment of the new mutual authentication system i1 using our finger pass system. As soon as we met, shaking hands. Naturally because it's American, but this time it's a little different. Both of them do not hold their palms, but shake hands after putting their fingers against each other's palms. The newly developed finger vein detection means i2 is attached to the palm. When you bring your finger close, you will hear a “beep” to indicate that it has been detected.

The detection data is transmitted to the server i3 by wireless communication. The server i3 is a personal information management server, and its own vein data is registered. However, the operation of the server i3 is performed by a public third party organization. The vein data of the partner collected by shaking hands is transmitted to the server of the third party organization, where it is matched with the registered vein data of the person, and its authenticity is determined. When the authentication is completed, data indicating that the report has been authenticated is transmitted from the server, and the mutual authentication system i1 that has detected the data will now beep twice. It is a reporting means by sound. Of course, in order to confirm without knowing by the other party, it is possible to display on a wristwatch-like display device or the like instead of a sound report.
If you cannot authenticate, beep three times. Mr. confirmed that it rang twice. K smiles and smiles firmly with me for the first time. The experiment was a huge success. This makes it possible for people who have met for the first time to confirm their identity with this system and prevent fraud due to impersonation.

  If this third party organization further cooperates with a government agency, the credibility will be more reliable. In Japan, it is ideal to work with the Basic Resident Register database managed by each local government. In other words, residents themselves register their fingertip vein data in the basic resident register database of the local government to which they belong. Whenever an authentication request is received, the third party organization accesses the government organization and sends the individual's vein data from the Basic Resident Register database. Since this data is automatically deleted once accessed, it cannot be saved and reused. What to do for Americans. Naturally, it is an American government agency.

  The work of the day is over and tomorrow is her birthday. Access the gourmet site with your finger pass and click the reservation button to automatically complete the reservation. By the way, I also bought presents at a site that had been on the look. After completing credit approval with the finger pass, preparations for tomorrow are complete (Figure 13). Until now, it was annoying to enter your address, name, phone number, etc., but this system is really just one click on the reservation button. This is another technique that can be done with a finger pass. Individual identification means j1 by vein authentication, means j2 for pre-registering bibliographic information about the individual, means j3 for transmitting pre-registered format item information based on vein authentication information, reservation and credit settlement, etc. This is an application system comprising means j4 for transmitting a decision.

  Now that we have finished a job, let's go to a sports club. The admission check for sports clubs is also a finger pass (Figure 14)). The finger pass data (verification vein pattern) is registered in an IC card issued by a sports gym. Here, when the IC card is used for check-in at the time of admission, the IC card reader at the reception receives the finger pass data and sends it to the temporary memory of the designated locker. So, go to the locker room and hold your finger over the finger path reader to open the locker. When leaving the sports club, if the checkout procedure using the IC card is performed at the reception, the memory of the corresponding locker is erased.

  Here, a plurality of lockers k1 locked by a key with a vein authentication device, a transmission means k3 for transmitting vein authentication data of a user to a designated locker vein authentication device k2 at the time of check-in, A member locker management system including data erasure means k4 for erasing vein authentication data stored in the locker vein authentication device is realized.

  Training lightly for about an hour by a sports club. It is very convenient because all the weight and training amount are checked with the finger pass, and all of the missing training instructions and load information are automatically set. Well, I'm thirsty so let's have a drink at my favorite bar. The beer after training is very delicious.

  The exercise management in the sports club was mentioned a little in FIG. 5, but here it will be explained again with reference to FIG. The member management server k5 of the sports club is provided with a member database k6, which is used for member ID, member address, name, age, gender, height, weight, blood pressure, body fat percentage, and other health management. Necessary bibliographic items are registered. The database k6 is further linked with a server k7 of a medical institution or a medical examination institution, and medical information of the member, for example, a blood test result is registered. Furthermore, the member management server k5 is provided with a meal database k8, in which various ingredients, meal menus, their nutrients, and calories are registered. At the same time, meal menu generation means k9 is provided for determining a recommended meal menu according to the individuality and health status of the member with reference to each database.

  When the member accesses the server k5 with the mobile phone k10, a recommended breakfast menu, lunch menu, and dinner menu are presented. When a meal is taken according to the recommended menu, a message to that effect is transmitted. Otherwise, the eaten ingredient is selected from the ingredient selection menu and transmitted. Now you can manage your health.

  Since these data are registered together with the member ID along with the date, it is possible to manage what kind of meals and exercises have been performed throughout the year, and to observe fluctuations in body weight and blood pressure, and other data. The server of the sports club recommends what kind of exercise should be performed and how much according to the fluctuation.

  Waking up this morning is very bad. My head is pounding. Last night, I had drunk too much beer and drunk wine. Worse, I forgot the bag with a set of training wear and mobile phones in the bar. But I don't have to worry because my phone can't be used without a finger pass. When you pass your finger at home, all incoming calls are forwarded to your home, so there is nothing wrong. Moreover, if you pass your finger to a spare cell phone at home, all the phone numbers registered here will be transferred. Nothing, because the phone is also Thin Client, the data itself is just on the carrier's server.

  However, I have a memory of how I got home from the bar. When I roll into the house, I remember a little that the security was lifted with my finger pass. Maybe I took a taxi, passed my finger and went home. Recently, the route is displayed on the car navigation system in front of the house with a finger pass, so you can safely go home with Beron Beron. Speaking of what, what happened to the taxi fare? I paid, with a finger pass.

  In this way, on the server side connected to the Internet, personal data is registered, and it is a mobile phone that also serves as a mobile terminal device that can access the server under the condition of vein authentication. It is possible to access a Thin Client type mobile phone characterized by referring to personal data specified by vein authentication from a server, or specific account data, and payment is made from the account data on the condition of vein authentication. In addition to a payment system that performs debiting, various services that have been provided so far can be provided after specifying an individual on the condition of vein authentication.

  Today is her birthday, so it's not good in this situation, so I went to the sports club again and started my morning training. If you run on a running machine for an hour, the remaining alcohol will be lost and you will be fully recovered. Take a shower and go to work. By the way, what is a good birthday gift? Would you like a luxury watch you wanted? But that doesn't surprise me. Let ’s get started.

  So, I decided to use the newly developed finger pass authentication box m1. The finger pass authentication box m1 is a little jewelry box-like (FIG. 16). A finger pass authentication sensor m2 is attached to the box lid m3. Simply hold your fingertip over it to open the key. The first is to put a luxury watch in the box and give her the box with the key closed. She does not open the lid when the lever is operated. So, say “which” and casually unlock the key with your finger path. Then raise the lid. She has a surprised face. It is a guarantee that a man will go up. You can use this box at a magic show. You are a magician.

  By the way, the finger pass IC card is safe to lose. This is because finger pass data can be deleted remotely. That is, a remote header is added to the finger pass data, and when the data matching the head data is sent, the IC card side has remote means for erasing the finger pass data. If an erase command is registered, such as when the IC card is lost, if the finger pass data is used illegally, the erase command erases or invalidates the finger pass data that matches the header. To do. Not only is the finger path required when important data flows, but it is also possible to stop everything with the finger path.

  This finger pass authentication using veins is not only for one person, but also for multiple persons. For example, an event such as the opening of a ceremony hall can be started only when there is a vow of two people at a wedding and there is authentication of two finger passes. The apparatus for accomplishing this includes a first finger vein authentication unit n1 and a second finger vein authentication unit n2, and different persons respectively have a first finger vein authentication unit n1 and a second finger vein authentication unit. This is an event activation device n by vein authentication, comprising event start means n3 that starts an event on condition that vein authentication has been completed separately from means n2 (FIG. 17).

  Speaking of weddings, there is a ring exchange ritual, but it is also possible to use a ring as the shape of the authentication device. A light source that emits near-infrared light toward the finger is built inside the ring. An optical sensor that images the vein pattern illuminated by the light source is also built in the ring. Also, a memory for registering the vein pattern for comparison is built in the ring, and authentication is possible in the ring by comparing with the data. Necessary circuits are integrated into an IC and operate in a non-contact manner, like a passive RFID card. Authentication with a ring can be performed as long as a person is alive. However, if it is not attached to the person, it is meaningless. The same thing can be done with a built-in authentication device in a wristwatch or its bracelet.

  This is a vein authentication device in which a ring-shaped member that can be attached to a living body includes a light source that emits light toward the living body and a photosensor that images a vein pattern in the living body illuminated by the light source. . Although not shown, it is basically the same as that of FIG.

  The finger pass is safe for shopping. If a finger pass system and a credit card are used together, damage caused by skiing can be prevented. This is because credit card payments cannot be made without the person's finger pass authentication. This includes a data reader that reads credit card information and a vein authentication device, and executes payment settlement using the credit card information read by the data reader on the condition that vein authentication is completed by the vein authentication device. It is a credit card system.

  In the recent retail industry, point services are popular, but it is also possible to build a point service system with a finger pass. When shopping with a finger pass, the identity can be confirmed, and as a substitute for the point card, points can be added with the finger pass. For this purpose, a customer database is created, and customers are associated with points. When the authentication is completed with the finger pass, it is possible to identify the customer, and points are added in correspondence with the customer (FIG. 18).

  The point height can be distributed to a mobile phone by e-mail magazine or the like. That is, it comprises a cash register p1, a vein authentication device p2, a point calculation means p3 for calculating points according to the amount inputted in the cash register p1, and a customer database p4. The point management item for managing points is provided, and addition / subtraction of points to / from the customer database is performed under the condition of authentication by the vein authentication device p2. Further, it is possible to provide a reply means p5 that returns the point height in response to access from the mobile phone.

  Speaking of shopping, it is possible to leave an action history of when and where to stop by authentication with a finger pass. This history can be left in the memory of the store authentication device, but the history may be left only in its own memory. This protects your privacy and can also be used to prove your alibi when something happens.

  This is a portable vein authentication device that transmits an authentication result to an authentication result reading device installed in a store or the like, and receives ID information of a store or the like from the authentication result reading device and stores it. An action history recording type authentication device characterized by comprising a memory.

In addition, because the finger pass can identify an individual, a recommendation system can be constructed by referring to the purchase history of the individual. For example, an order history at a restaurant is recorded for each customer. The order history is registered when payment is made with a finger pass. The finger path allows individuals in the real world to be identified, and their preferences can be specified in detail, so products that meet those preferences can be recommended. Manage your purchase history of goods and services related to clothes, books, music, travel, and other hobbies, as well as your tastes at restaurants.
A concierge service is provided that predicts future purchasing activities from these past purchase histories and presents recommended products according to individual preferences.

  FIG. 18 shows a state in which new product arrival information related to recommended products, for example, past purchased products, is transmitted from the purchase history to the mobile phone. FIG. 19 shows a case where a customer purchase history at each store is registered in the regional store server, and a recommended service is provided from the history.

  In particular, services for women are popular. There is data in the history of hair salons and estic salons, and the data is encrypted. It is decrypted with the finger pass when visiting the store, and the service history that the store person has received so far is known. The next time you visit the store, it will be a conversation such as “Customer, how was the other day's XX service?

  This device registers the purchase history of products and services through authentication by the vein authentication device, and recommends the recommended recommended product from the purchase history on the condition that it is accepted by vein authentication when visiting the store again. Foundation system.

  If you use this finger pass system for pets, you can have a pleasant life. Since individual pets can be specified, for example, when greeting dogs, information on the pets is distributed to a mobile phone or the like by vein authentication. Even pet hotels that are not allowed to prevent rabies can be checked in by registering a certificate of 9 types + rabies by registering the certificate (Figure 20).

  Among the action histories, the history of sales actions is important for salesmen. For example, it can be used for place authentication such as Iidabashi, Otemachi, etc., which are sales offices, or for settlement of transportation expenses such as taxis for moving between places. For this purpose, each authentication device is provided with means for fetching the authenticated time, place, and settlement cost as a history in each memory, and is stored in the memory of its own authentication device. Here, the authentication location is not limited to the GPS location information, but may be location information determined from the IP address where the authentication device is located. Since the location can be specified in IP and Ver6, the geographical position of the IP address of the fixed PC is specified. (Fig. 21)

  In addition, it is effective to use the portable finger vein authentication device as a key of an apartment house such as an apartment. In this case, not only can the keys be unlocked by finger pass authentication of the residents of each house, but also the keys of each house can be unlocked by the registered administrator's finger pass. With existing physical keys, if the administrator loses the common key, all the keys must be exchanged. With this finger pass system, there is no loss of the key, so cost loss due to loss. (FIG. 22).

  Election voting is certainly a finger pass (Figure 23). Register vein data in advance at the Legal Affairs Bureau. If you pass your finger at the polling place, you can accept the procedure and authenticate yourself, so you can eliminate spoofing. For this purpose, a vein authentication device to be installed at a polling place and a ballot paper ticketing device that issues a ballot ticket in conjunction with the vein authentication device are provided. Construct a voting system that issues paper tickets. The vein data for authentication needs to be registered in advance, but it is desirable to register with a third-party authentication organization for vein authentication.

  The cash register at the supermarket is also settled with a finger pass. By associating an electronic account with electronic money and a finger pass and making a finger pass, the cash is settled at the cash register. This also eliminates money exchange. If you choose self-checkout, there is no need for a cashier. In the supermarket, the only place where the cash register is crowded. The only way to speed up rotation is to increase the number of cashiers, but self-checkout and finger passes will improve reliability and reliability. For this purpose, it has a cash register for product price settlement, an electronic account that has been prepaid with a predetermined amount of electronic money, and a vein authentication device. A cash register system is provided in which the payment is withdrawn from an electronic account on the condition of vein authentication (FIG. 18).

  Well, today I have to send my car for inspection. However, it is safe to use a finger pass car inspection. That's because every time a worker changes parts, it keeps a history. The replacement part, replacement date, and replacement person are registered with the finger path. As a result, it is recorded in the record of when and who replaced which part, so that it becomes easy to specify the replacement time of the consumable part and the cause of the accident. The maintenance status is displayed on the display of the car navigation system so you can see it immediately. If you read the work process in advance and check it with your finger path to see which work has been completed, you can be sure of the work. It is ideal for maintenance of aircraft, nuclear power plants, railways, commercial vehicles, etc. (Fig. 24).

  This is a repair part replacement check system, and includes a vein authentication device r1 for vein authentication of an operator, part information registration means r2 for registering part information, clock means r3 for keeping time, and a repair history database r4. A repair part characterized by registering worker data specified by authentication, replaced part data, and authentication time in a repair history database on condition that authentication is performed by a vein authentication device at the time of parts replacement Provide replacement check system.

  Next, the finger pass dongle used for the finger pass mentioned above will be described with reference to FIG. 25 in addition to FIGS.

<Example 1>
A first embodiment of the dongle will be described with reference to FIGS. This apparatus comprises a small housing 1 having a thickness of 10 mm, a width of 50 mm, and a depth of about 40 mm. One surface of the housing 1 is covered with a translucent plastic plate 2 that transmits near infrared rays.

  As shown in FIG. 2, assuming that the inside of the housing 1 is divided into four, a near-infrared LED 4 that emits near-infrared light is disposed as a detection light irradiating unit at a quarter of the end. Further, the outer surface side of the translucent plastic plate 2 corresponding to the adjacent ¼ portion is set as the finger placement portion 3, and a mark (line) is provided on the outer surface of the translucent plastic plate 2 in order to specify the position. ) Is attached.

  Moreover, the optical sensor 5 is arrange | positioned in the 1/4 part in the housing | casing on the opposite side to near-infrared LED4. Thereby, the near-infrared LED 4 is arrange | positioned diagonally downward with respect to the finger mounting part 3, and it becomes the form by which the optical sensor 5 is arrange | positioned toward the finger | toe on the opposite side. The distance from the finger placement unit 3 is set farther from the optical sensor 5 than the near-infrared LED 4, but this is a problem of the detection distance of the sensor 5.

  A control circuit unit 6 is provided in the housing 1, and as shown in FIG. 25, the control circuit unit 6 stores the electronic certificate corresponding to the device ID information in advance, the storage unit 9 and the vein A control unit 8 that performs pattern reading control is provided. A USB port is provided as an input / output interface 7 for data to the control unit 8. The control unit 8 has a comparison unit (not shown) that allows the electronic certificate to be read when the vein pattern registered in advance and the vein pattern read thereafter are compared and matched.

  The power may be supplied from the PC side from the USB port, or a built-in battery may be provided in the housing.

<Example 2>
Next, a second embodiment of the dongle will be described. Although the structure of this embodiment is similar to that of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the finger placement portion 3 is recessed, and the finger can be inserted into the portion from the side. It is different in point.

  And the near-infrared LDE4 is arrange | positioned inside one housing | casing of the finger mounting part 3, and the optical sensor 5 is provided in the other housing | casing.

  Others are the same as in the first embodiment, but since the finger placement portion 3 is a recess, the thickness of the housing 1 can be made thinner than that in the first embodiment.

<Example 3>
In each of the above embodiments, a non-contact IC tag such as an RFIC tag is built in, and data can be input and output wirelessly.

<Usage form>
First, in manufacturing this device, serial numbers (device ID numbers) are assigned to the individual devices. In response to the serial number, the certification authority issues a temporary electronic certificate, which is recorded in the storage unit 9 in correspondence with the serial number.

  The certification authority and the seller of this apparatus manage the temporary electronic certificates in a database corresponding to the serial numbers.

In the initial setting, the user who purchased the apparatus from the seller transmits user information corresponding to the serial number to the certification authority via the seller in association with the temporary electronic certificate.
Since the certification authority transmits a formal electronic certificate to the apparatus, the apparatus stores the electronic certificate (public key or the like) in the storage unit.

  When storing the electronic certificate in the storage unit 9, the user registers his vein pattern as a password. The registration destination is the storage unit 9 of the present apparatus. In registration, first, when a finger is placed on the finger placement unit 3 and the near-infrared LED 4 emits light, a vein pattern is illuminated, which is detected by the optical sensor 5 and associated with the electronic certificate. Register with. This is executed by driver software installed on the PC side. Therefore, thereafter, the electronic certificate cannot be read unless the vein patterns match.

  Based on the above, when using an electronic certificate, the user connects this apparatus to an information processing terminal such as a PC, places his finger on the finger placement unit 3 and turns on reading. The optical sensor 5 reads the vein pattern of the finger that receives the light and receives it, and compares it with a vein pattern registered in advance. When the result is coincidence, reading of the electronic certificate is permitted, and thereafter various procedures using the electronic certificate are performed through the PC terminal.

  When the vein patterns match, the electronic certificate can be used. However, when using the certificate, it can be transmitted from the authentication device side to the PC side by the transmitting device, or accessed from the PC side and read. May be.
