A system is mounted on a vehicle and includes a sensor configured to perform a detection process that detects a fingerprint of a finger touching the sensor in order to perform a fingerprint authentication process, and a controller. The controller is configured to: (i) control a power supply of the vehicle to be ON when a predetermined authentication process through a predetermined communication with another device other than the sensor is successful, the predetermined authentication process being different from the fingerprint authentication process, and (ii) suppress the detection process that detects the fingerprint in response to the power supply of the vehicle being ON and the predetermined authentication process being successful.

Fingerprint authentication device

An authentication device to be mounted on a vehicle includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute first authentication based on biometric information acquired from a user and biometric information preregistered in the vehicle. The processor is configured to execute second authentication based on identification information acquired from a mobile device of the user and identification information preregistered in the vehicle. The processor is configured to permit start of the vehicle when at least one of the first authentication and the second authentication is successful. The processor is configured to set an authentication function of the first authentication from ON to OFF when at least one of the first authentication and the second authentication is successful.

Authentication device, method, non-transitory storage medium, and vehicle

A biometric information authentication device includes a control unit to, during biometric authentication by comparing biometric information of a user read by a biometric information sensor to preliminarily registered biometric information of a registered person, issue a notification to encourage the user to register different biometric information when a predetermined condition for determining that a biometric authentication after a current biometric authentication is highly likely to fail is met.

Biometric information authentication device

A biometric information authentication device includes a control unit, wherein, when a first biometric authentication is successfully completed based on biometric information acquired from an operator and registered biometric information preliminarily registered by a registered person and an operation for registering new registered biological information is subsequently performed, the control unit permits registration upon a successful second biometric authentication based on biometric information acquired again and the registered biometric information preliminarily registered by the registered person.

A biometric information authenticating device includes a biometric information sensor to detect contact of an operating finger with a reading surface and to read biometric information of the operating finger, an illumination unit including at least one light source, and a control unit to indicate completion of reading of the biometric information by an illumination pattern including a combination of turning on and off of the at least one light source.

Biometric information authenticating device, and biometric information authenticating system

A first communication device forms a first wireless communication area at least outside a prescribed area. A second communication device forms a second wireless communication area at least inside the prescribed area. A control device performs an operation control of a first device to be controlled, based on first authentication processing for authenticating a first mobile device located in the first wireless communication area. The control device performs an operation control of a second device to be controlled that is different from the first device to be controlled, based on second authentication processing for authenticating the first mobile device located in the second wireless communication area. The control device performs an operation control of the first communication device to perform communication with a second mobile device that is different from the first mobile device after the operation control of the first device to be controlled is performed.

Authentication system, control device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium

An authentication device includes a last session information storage portion that stores data of a first registered person successfully authenticated in the last session, an input unit to which information of a second registered person successfully authenticated by another authentication device is input, an information acquisition unit that acquires identification information of a user via an information sensor, a registered person information storage portion that stores registered person information in which a plurality of registered persons including the first and second registered persons are associated with their registration identification information, an authentication order information storage portion that stores information about an authentication order of the registered persons, and an authentication unit that authenticates the user by comparing the identification information acquired from the information acquisition unit with the registration identification information stored in the registered person information storage portion according to the stored authentication order.

Authentication device, authentication method, and authentication system

A biometric authentication device includes a biometric information sensor to read biometric information of a user, a biometric information storage unit to pre-register biometric information of a registered person as registered biometric information for verification, a determination unit to determine whether or not a captured image captured by the biometric information sensor is suitable for biometric authentication, and to perform biometric authentication by comparing the captured image to the registered biometric information registered in the biometric information storage unit when the determination unit determines that the captured image is suitable for the biometric authentication, and a notification unit to issue a notification indicating that the captured image is unsuitable for the biometric authentication. When the determination unit determines that the captured image is unsuitable for the biometric authentication, the determination unit does not perform the biometric authentication by the authentication unit and causes the notification unit to issue the notification.

Biometric authentication device

A biometric information sensor device includes a control unit that issues a notification for failure to read biometric information of a detection target when reading of the biometric information fails after a contact of the detection target with a reading surface is detected.

Biometric information sensor device

A vehicular authentication device that includes: a first processor; and a second processor. The first processor is configured to: perform a first permission to permit release of a steering lock of a vehicle in a case in which a verification of key information of the vehicle has been performed successfully, and in a case in which the steering lock has been released by the first permission, perform a second permission to permit deactivation of an immobilizer of the vehicle based on a successful verification of biometric information by the second processor.

Vehicular authentication device and vehicular authentication method

A fingerprint authentication device is mounted in a vehicle and includes a fingerprint sensor configured to perform a fingerprint detection process that detects a fingerprint of a finger brought into contact with the fingerprint sensor, a fingerprint authentication unit configured to perform a fingerprint authentication process based on the fingerprint detected through the fingerprint detection process, and a controller configured to control permission and non-permission of execution of the fingerprint detection process, and the controller is configured not to permit the execution of the fingerprint detection process when a speed of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.
