Abstract
A system includes an authentication terminal and a server apparatus. The authentication terminal is an apparatus that can operate in different modes of operation corresponding to each of different procedure methods. The server apparatus includes a detection unit, a determination unit, and a mode control unit. The detection unit detects a waiting person waiting at a waiting area, where procedures are performed at the authentication terminal, using image data captured at the waiting area. The determination unit determines a type of the waiting person regarding the procedures to be proceeded with at the authentication terminal. The mode control unit instructs the authentication terminal to change the mode of operation, when the type of the waiting person is not consistent with a mode of operation of the authentication terminal.
