SHARED FACE AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM AND SHARED FACE AUTHENTICATION PROGRAM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce equipment costs and management costs by sharing registration information and authentication processing.SOLUTION: There are provided a terminal group (CRM terminal group 4) including a plurality of terminals that acquires face images, a storage unit (8) in which a plurality of registered face images are registered, an authentication unit group (FA sensor group 10) including a plurality of authentication units that performs authentication processing to determine which registered face image agrees with the face image in accordance with individual authentication requests from the terminals, and a relay unit (FA gateway 12) that relays the terminal group and the authentication unit group to distribute the plurality of authentication requests caused by simultaneously using the plurality of terminals, and that sorts the requests to the plurality of authentication units.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】登録情報および認証処理をシェアして設備コストや管理コストを低減する。【解決手段】顔画像を取得する複数の端末を含む端末群（ＣＲＭ端末群４）と、複数の登録顔画像が登録された記憶部（８）と、前記端末から認証要求に係る前記顔画像がいずれの前記登録顔画像に一致するかの認証処理をする複数の認証部を含む認証部群（ＦＡセンサー群１０）と、前記端末群と前記認証部群とを中継し、複数の前記端末の同時使用による複数の前記認証要求を分散化して複数の前記認証部に振り分ける中継部（ＦＡゲートウェイ１２）とを備えている。【選択図】図１
