Abstract:
1. A method for generating data of an application with a picture on a terminal connected to a server via a network, comprising: a first step of authenticating that a person for whom application data is to be generated is a valid applicant by comparing biometric information read from a resident card provided by the person, wherein biometric information of a resident is recorded on the resident card and is read from the resident card by a card information reading means of the terminal, with biometric information measured from the person with biometric information measuring means; a second step of reading a resident code from the resident card by the card information reading means if the first step ends in authentication success; a third step of sending via the network the read resident code to the server; a fourth step of receiving private information associated with the resident card from the server via the network and storing the private information in a storage unit of the terminal as an application entry; a fifth step of accepting input of information necessary for the application other than the private information from input means of the terminal and storing input information linking to the private information in the storage unit; a sixth step of taking a facial portrait of the applicant by a camera of the terminal to make an image data, and calculating a first expiration date of the image data; a seventh step of requesting from the server via the network, facial portrait authentication information for authenticating that the image data is the facial portrait of the applicant by sending the image data, the first expiration date, and the biometric information to the server; an eighth step of receiving the facial portrait authentication information from the server via the network and embedding the facial portrait authentication information and information indicating the first expiration data in the image data as a visible first authentication mark to generate a facial portrait data of the applicant; a ninth step of reading the application entry from the storage unit and attaching the facial portrait data of the applicant on the read application entry to generate the application data; a tenth step of requesting from the server via the network, application-data-authentication information for authenticating contents of the application data by sending the generated application data; an eleventh step of receiving the required application-data-authentication information from the server via the network and calculating a second expiration date of the application data; and a twelfth step of embedding the received application-data-authentication information and information indicating the second expiration date into a mark image to make a visible second authentication mark and attaching the second visible authentication mark on the application data to make an authenticated-application data.
