Abstract:
1. A biometric information processing apparatus comprising: a biometric information acquiring unit which acquires biometric input data representing a user's biometric information; and a processing unit, wherein the processing unit implements: a feature quantity extracting function which extracts a feature quantity characterizing a feature of the biometric information from the biometric input information represented by the biometric input data; a classifying function which classifies, based on the feature quantity, the biometric input information represented by the biometric input data into at least one of a plurality of classes categorized according to common features of biometric information, and which computes a confidence level for each class into which the biometric input information has been classified; a classification result judging function which judges whether or not a maximum value of the confidence level is larger than a threshold value predefined for the class corresponding to the maximum value among the plurality of classes; and a guidance function which, if the maximum value is not larger than the threshold value, prompts the user to have the user's biometric information reacquired by the biometric information acquiring unit.
