Abstract
According to one embodiment, an approval system includes an information processing apparatus and a biometric authentication device. The information processing apparatus includes a first interface and a first processor. The first processor is configured to: receive a sensor signal; when a state satisfying a predetermined condition related to data indicated by the sensor signal occurs, transmit an approval request signal to the biometric authentication device; and perform the countermeasure processing when an approval response signal is received from the biometric authentication device. The biometric authentication device includes a second interface, a storage unit, a biometric sensor, a second processor. The second processor is configured to: cause the biometric sensor to acquire the biometric information when the approval request signal is received; and transmit the approval response signal when the biometric information acquired by the biometric sensor and the biometric information stored in the storage unit are identified with each other.
