Abstract
A first information-communication device generates first biometric pattern used for comparison based on user biometric information retrieved by a biometric sensor, and sends the generated first biometric pattern to a second biometric information-communication device. The second information-communication device compares the first biometric pattern sent from the first information-communication device with second biometric pattern, which is user biometric pattern stored in memory, and sends the second biometric pattern to the first information-communication device when the compared biometric pattern matches. The first information-communication device then stores the second biometric pattern sent from the second information-communication device.
