An authentication device includes a deciding unit that, based on distribution information of the feature points included in a pattern present in some part of the body of the user, decides on the position of that part of the body to be used in authentication of the user. The authentication device further includes a guiding unit that, based on the decided position, guides the concerned part of the body to the decided position for the purpose of authentication of the user. The authentication device further includes an authenticating unit that performs authentication of the user based on feature information of the pattern as obtained due to the guiding.

Authentication device and recognition method

Provided is an imaging apparatus that includes an irradiation unit that irradiates a subject with light, an imaging unit that images the subject a plurality of times, a control unit that controls the imaging unit and the irradiation unit, and a combination unit that combines a plurality of imaged images obtained by the imaging unit. The imaging unit has a plurality of imaging elements disposed in a matrix when viewed from the side of the subject. The irradiation unit has a plurality of light emitting elements provided so as to correspond to the plurality of imaging elements. The control unit controls the irradiation unit to turn on the plurality of light emitting elements different for each imaging among the plurality of light emitting elements, and controls the imaging unit to drive the plurality of imaging elements corresponding to the plurality of light emitting elements that are not turned on.

Imaging apparatus and imaging method

There is provided an information processing terminal including an acquisition unit that acquires biometric information for biometric authentication and identification information of a device to which a service is supplied, and a transmission unit that transmits the identification information in accordance with success of the biometric authentication.

Information processing terminal, information processing device, information processing method, and information processing system

An information processor including a sensor unit that recognizes an operating tool that comes into contact with a display unit, and a control unit that shows a guidance display for guiding an operation of the operating tool on the display unit.

Information processor, information processing method, program, and wearable device

The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a client system, and a control method of the client system that can reduce labor of authentication by a user without reducing a security level of a settlement process. The user wears a wearable device that performs fingerprint authentication and that periodically transmits position information to a bank server. In addition, the user operates a client apparatus including a smartphone, a PC, or the like to execute a settlement process. The client apparatus transmits position information of the client apparatus to a bank server in the settlement process. The bank server reduces a risk score if the wearable device and the client apparatus are at the same position based on the position information of the wearable device and the position information of the client apparatus. The present disclosure can be applied to a settlement processing system.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, client system, and control method of client system

An information processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present technology includes an input unit and a control unit. The input unit inputs a first image that is captured by a first imaging apparatus that sets a first imaging space as an imaging target, and a second image that is captured by a second imaging apparatus that sets a second imaging space different from the first imaging space as an imaging target and switched to/from the first image and displayed. The control unit outputs, when the first and second images are switched to each other, a switching moving image reflecting positional relevance between the first and second imaging spaces.

Controlling display based on an object position in an imaging space

An information processing apparatus includes a communication unit for communicating with another information processing apparatus and a determination unit for determining whether or not to authenticate the other information processing apparatus on the basis of an operation pattern reported to a user and an analysis result of the user's operation corresponding to the operation pattern.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and information processing system

There is provided an information processing apparatus including an obtaining unit configured to obtain a plurality of segments compiled from at least one media source, wherein each segment of the plurality of segments contains at least one image frame within which a specific target object is found to be captured, and a providing unit configured to provide image frames of the obtained plurality of segments for display along a timeline and in conjunction with a tracking status indicator that indicates a presence of the specific target object within the plurality of segments in relation to time.

Information processing apparatus, information processing method, program, and information processing system for achieving a surveillance camera system

An image processing apparatus includes: a display device; a storage unit configured to store a plurality of image data having information corresponding to a search key; a search key specifying unit configured to specify a search key used for image search; a search unit configured to search and extract image data having information relating to the search key specified by the search key specifying unit from the storage unit; and a display control unit configured to control the image corresponding to image data extracted by the search unit to be displayed on the position corresponding to the degree of association as to the search key on the display screen of the display device.

Image processing apparatus, image display method, and image display program

An information processing apparatus includes an input unit, an attention object detection unit, and a calculation unit. The input unit is configured to input a plurality of temporally continuous images taken by an image pickup apparatus. The attention object detection unit is configured to detect an attention object as an attention target from a first image which is an image taken at a first time point out of the plurality of images input. The calculation unit is configured to compare the first image with one or more second images which are one or more images taken at a time point previous to the first time point, to calculate, as a second time point, a time point when the attention object appears in the continuous plurality of images.

An image search device includes: a shooting unit configured to photographically shoot a subject; a display unit; a control unit configured to display a search key for image search on the display unit according to a shooting situation at the time of a shooting mode whereby the subject can photographically be shot by the shooting unit; a specifying unit which is used for specifying the search key displayed on the display unit; and a searching unit configured to search, in the event of the search key being specified via the specifying unit, an image based on the search key thus specified; with the control unit displaying, in the event of the image being searched by the searching unit, this search result on the display unit.

Image search device, image search method, and image search program

An electronic apparatus includes a display unit, a sensor, and a controller. The display unit includes a screen. The sensor is configured to detect a user operation with respect to the screen and output a signal corresponding to the user operation. The controller is configured to cause a data icon and an access authority editing icon for editing an access authority of data related to the data icon to be displayed on the screen, judge a user operation with respect to the access authority editing icon based on the signal from the sensor, and change a state of the access authority of the data related to the data icon according to the user operation.

Electronic apparatus, program, and control method for displaying access authority for data files
