Abstract:
1. A biometrics system, which verifies characteristic data of a body part registered in a storage unit against characteristic data of the body part obtained through image capture to perform individual authentication, comprising: an image capture device which captures images of a hand of a user to be authenticated in a contact-free manner; the storage unit which stores characteristic data and outline shape data of the hand obtained in image capture of the image capture device at the registration; a control device which extracts the characteristic data and outline shape data of the hand from the captured image of the image capture device, reads, at the time of the individual biometric authentication, the outline shape data and the characteristic data of the hand from the storage unit corresponding to inputted identification number of the user and verifies the extracts the characteristic data against the characteristic data which are read from the storage unit to perform the individual authentication; and a display device having a display screen, which, at the time of individual authentication, displays both the outline shape of said hand which is read from the storage unit and the outline shape of the hand at the time of verification, obtained from the image capture device in parallel, adjacent and non-overlapping positions on the display screen.
