The connection method is not limited to the wired method, and may be a wireless method. 
     The management server  10  is an information processing device that manages various examination procedures at the time of an enter/departure of the user U. The management server  10  is installed in a facility such as an airport DA, an airport company managing an airport AA, an airline, or the like. The management server  10  is not limited to a single server, but may be configured as a server group including a plurality of servers. For example, a server responsible for some functions of the management server  10  may be installed in the first country, and another server responsible for other functions of the management server  10  may be installed in the second country. 
     As illustrated in  FIG.  1   , the management server  10  includes a user information database (DB)  11 , a first baggage inspection information DB  12 , and a second baggage inspection information DB  13 . However, the database of the management server  10  is not limited to these databases. The details of each database will be described later. 
     The check-in terminal  20  is installed in a check-in lobby (Hereinafter, it is referred to as a “touch point P 1 ”.) in the airport DA in the first country (user departing country). The check-in terminal  20  is a self-service terminal for performing a check-in procedure (boarding procedure) by the user U operating the check-in terminal  20 . When the user U completes the check-in procedure at the touch point P 1 , the user U moves to the deposition site of the baggage or the security inspection site. 
     The automatic baggage deposition device  30  is installed in an adjacent area of a baggage counter (manned counter) in the airport DA or in a vicinity area of the check-in terminal  20 . Hereinafter, the procedure area in which the automatic baggage deposition device  30  is installed is referred to as a “touch point P 2 ”. The automatic baggage deposition device  30  is a self-service terminal for performing a procedure for depositing baggage that is not carried or cannot be carried in a cabin by the user U operating the automatic baggage deposition device  30 . Upon completing the baggage deposition procedure, the user U moves to the security inspection site. In the case of the user U having no baggage to be deposited, the procedure at the touch point P 2  is omitted. 
     In the following description, the term “baggage” is used to mean both a carry-on baggage (first baggage) carried by the user U into a cabin of an airplane and a trustee baggage (second baggage) deposited by the airplane company from the user U at the touch point P 2 , unless otherwise specified. 
     The security inspection device  40  is installed in the security inspection site in the airport DA. The operation terminal  42  is installed in the manned counter of the security inspection site. The staff S uses the operation terminal  42  to perform the security inspection procedure of the user U. It is to be noted that the term “security inspection site” in the present example embodiment is used to mean not only an inspection area (Hereinafter, it is referred to as a “touch point P 3 ”.) through which the user U passes in order to undergo a body inspection and a baggage inspection but also an inspection area on the backyard side which performs a security inspection for the deposited baggage unless otherwise specified. The term “security inspection device” is used in the meaning of including all of various devices (a passage control device  402 , a baggage conveyance device  403 , a camera  404 , a baggage inspection device  405 , a body inspection device  406 , and the like, which will be described later) used for security inspection in the security inspection site.

     Hereinafter, in the present example embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the above-described articles (A) to (D) are referred to as “prohibited articles”, “first restricted articles”, “second restricted articles” and “target articles”, respectively, and are appropriately distinguished. The above-described articles (A) to (C) are collectively referred to as “prohibited/restricted articles”. When the prohibited/restricted article is detected in the security inspection of the first country, the prohibited/restricted article is processed before the travel according to the type of the article. For example, prohibited/restricted articles are subject to changes to carry, discards, submerges, or penalty. 
     On the other hand, in the first country, the target article is permitted to be carried into the airplane as trustee baggage or carry-on baggage. However, the method of handling the article differs depending on the type of the article and the regulation and law in the second country. For example, when the baggage of the user U includes animals, plants, and foods, a procedure in the quarantine site may be required in the second country. In the case where a predetermined amount of money or more is contained in the baggage of the user U, a procedure in a custom inspection site may be required in the second country. 
     Note that in the security inspection of the first country, the articles (B) or (C) described above and carried by the airplane in an appropriate manner may also correspond to the object articles in the second country.

When the user U passes through the touch points P 1  to P 4 , the user U moves to a restriction area of the boarding gate (touch point P 5 ). Among the users U that have passed through the security inspection site, the user who purchased the article in the tax-free shop is obliged to perform procedures such as presentation of the passport in the custom inspection site A 1 . 
       FIG.  8    is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a security inspection site. A passage control device  402  is provided at an entrance and an exit of the security inspection site (touch point P 3 ). The passage control device  402  determines whether or not the user U is allowed to pass. The passage control device  402  preferably includes, for example, a biometric information acquiring device, a medium reading device, and a gate. 
     The passage control device  402  transmits the face image captured by the biometric information acquiring device to the management server  10 , and requests an authentication process as to whether or not the user U is a person who registers the face image. When the user U is authenticated as a registrant of the face image in the management server  10 , the passage control device  402  opens the gate and permits the user U to enter the security inspection site. For the user U whose face image is not registered, the passage control device  402  reads the stored information of the IC chip of the passport using the medium reading device, and determines whether or not the user U is allowed to pass the gate. The plurality of users U 1  to U 11  illustrated in  FIG.  8    are people who are permitted to pass to the security inspection site. 
     On the left side in the drawing, a baggage inspection site is provided. The baggage inspection area includes a baggage conveyance device  403 , a baggage inspection device  405 , and a deposition box  410 . 
     The baggage inspection device  405  is a device that inspects, in a non-contact manner, whether or not a prohibited article, a first restricted article, a second restricted article, and a target article (Hereinafter, they are collectively referred to as “target article or the like”.) are included in the baggage of the user U. Examples of the baggage inspection device  405  include an X-ray scanner, a CT scanner, and the like that captures a baggage using X-rays and outputs the captured image to the management server  10 . As the baggage inspection device  405 , a CT scanner capable of capturing a three-dimensional X-ray image is preferably used in order to improve detection accuracy. When the management server  10  receives the captured image from the baggage inspection device  405 , the management server  10  determines whether or not a target article or the like is included in the baggage based on, for example, a predetermined learning model. 
     Five users U 1  to U 5  illustrated in  FIG.  8    are placed on a belt conveyor of the baggage conveyance device  403  in a state in which the baggage is stored in a predetermined conveyance tray T. As a result, the conveyance tray T moves in the direction of the arrow D 1 . The conveyance tray T containing the baggage is inserted into the baggage inspection device  405 . Then, the baggage inspection device  405  and the management server  10  cooperate with each other to perform the baggage inspection on the baggage in the conveyance tray T. 
     A total of seven lanes of the error lane L 1 , the normal lanes L 2  to L 6 , and the unclear lane L 7  are branched and provided on the downstream side in the conveying direction of the baggage conveyance device  403 . The error lane L 1  is a re-inspection lane for conveying the baggage in which prohibited/restricted articles that cannot be conveyed into the airplane are detected. A staff S 2  is arranged in the error lane L 1 . The normal lanes L 2  to L 6  are lanes for conveying the baggage in which no prohibited/restricted articles are detected, and deposition boxes  410  are provided at the destination of the normal lanes L 2  to L 6 . The baggage is automatically stored from the back side of the deposition box  410 . The unclear lane L 7  is a lane for conveying the conveyance tray T whose owner is unclear. 
     On the other hand, on the right side in the figure, a body inspection area is provided. The body inspection area is provided with two inspection booths. Each inspection booth is provided with a body inspection device  406 , an operation terminal  42 , and a camera  404 .  FIG.  8    illustrates the user U 7  and the user U 9  undergoing the body inspection with the body inspection device  406 . 
     The body inspection device  406  is a device for inspecting, in a non-contact manner, whether or not the user U has a target article or the like. Examples of the body inspection device  406  include a metal detector, a millimeter wave scanner, and a terahertz wave scanner. The number of types of the body inspection device  406  used in the body inspection is not limited to one. The metal detector is a device for inspecting whether or not the user U is wearing a metal which may become a hazardous object. In an airport facility, a gate type is widely used as a metal detector. 
     The millimeter wave scanner is, for example, a device that irradiates a millimeter wave to the body of the user U, measures energy of a reflected wave from the body of the user U, and images the body of the user U. The millimeter wave is, for example, an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength of 1 millimeter or more and 10 millimeters or less and a frequency band of about 30 GHz to 300 GHz. 
     Similarly, the terahertz wave scanner is a device for imaging the body of the user U using the terahertz wave. The terahertz wave is, for example, an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength of 100 micrometers or more and 1 millimeter or less and a frequency band of about 300 GHz to 3 THz. There are two types of millimeter wave scanners and terahertz wave scanners. Two types are a passive type for measuring electromagnetic waves naturally emitted from an object and an active type for measuring reflected waves when the object is irradiated with electromagnetic waves. 
     A plurality of signage terminals  409  are provided in an area near the exit of the body inspection area. The signage terminal  409  is a display terminal for presenting various kinds of guide information received from the management server  10  to the user U. 
     For example, the user U 10  is a person who has completed the body inspection and stands in front of the signage terminal  409 . Upon capturing the face image of the user U 10 , the signage terminal  409  transmits the captured face image to the management server  10 . The signage terminal  409  preferably displays the deposition location of the luggage or the status of the baggage inspection in accordance with the authentication result of the management server  10 . 
     The deposition box  410  deposits the baggage of the user U conveyed by the baggage conveyance device  403 . When a face image of each user U is captured, the deposition box  410  transmits the captured face image to the management server  10 . When the authentication in the management server  10  succeeds, the deposition box  410  releases the electronic lock. For example, the user U 11  indicates that authentication succeeds and the user U 11  has taken out user&#39;s baggage from the deposition box  410 . 
       FIG.  9    is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of an inspection area of the trustee baggage. In the inspection area, a baggage conveyance device  403 , a camera  404 , and a baggage inspection device  405  are provided. In  FIG.  9   , a plurality of trustee baggage B is placed on the belt conveyor of the baggage conveyance device  403 . The trustee baggage B moves in the direction of the arrow D 2 . 
     The camera  404  reads the barcode printed on the surface of the tag TG attached to the trustee baggage B before the trustee baggage B arrives at the baggage inspection device  405 , and outputs the read information to the management server  10 . In the barcode, for example, identification information of the trustee baggage B, a flight name (flight number) of the airplane to which the user U is expected to board, and the like are recorded. Instead of the tag TG on which the barcode is printed, an RFID tag may be used. In this case, a tag reading device may be provided instead of the camera  404 . 
     Thereafter, the trustee baggage B is inserted into the baggage inspection device  405  in accordance with the driving of the belt conveyor. Then, for the trustee baggage B, the baggage inspection is performed by cooperation of the baggage inspection device  405  and the management server  10 . When the prohibited/restricted article is detected by the baggage inspection device  405 , the staff S re-inspects the trustee baggage B. On the other hand, when the prohibited/restricted article (especially the articles (A) and (B) described above) is not detected by the baggage inspection, the trustee baggage B is automatically conveyed to a deposition location associated with the flight name of the airplane. 
       FIG.  10    is a layout diagram illustrating an example of an entrance area of an airport AA in the second country. As illustrated in  FIG.  10   , an entry examination area (touch point P 6 ), a baggage receiving site A 2 , a quarantine site A 3 , and a custom inspection site (touch point P 7 ) are arranged in the entrance area. When the user U completes the entry examination procedure in the entry examination site, the user U receives the trustee baggage in the baggage receiving site A 2  and moves to the custom inspection site. When the user U completes the procedure in the custom inspection site, the user U can enter the second country. However, when the user U carries an article such as an animal, a plant, or a food in the second country, it is necessary to separately perform a procedure in the quarantine site A 3  before the procedure in the custom inspection site. 
     Next, the operation of the information processing system  1  according to the present example embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. 
     &lt;Association of User and Baggage&gt; 
       FIG.  11    is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing of the information processing system  1 . This process is performed to associate the user U, which is the owner of the baggage, with the baggage when the user U undergoes the inspection of the carry-on baggage in the security inspection site. 
     First, the management server  10  acquires an image captured by the camera  404  (step S 101 ). Next, when the management server  10  determines that the user U, which is the subject of the security inspection, is detected in the captured image acquired (YES in step S 102 ), the process proceeds to step S 103 . 
     On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the user U has not been detected in the captured image acquired (NO in step S 102 ), the process returns to the step S 101 . 
     Next, when the management server  10  determines that a predetermined barcode attached to the surface of the conveyance tray has been detected from the captured image (YES in step S 103 ), the process proceeds to step S 104 . 
     On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the predetermined barcode attached to the surface of the conveyance tray is not detected from the captured image (NO in step S 103 ), the process returns to the step S 101 . That is, the processes of steps S 101  to S 103  are repeated until a captured image in which the barcode of the user U (the subject) and the barcode of the conveyance tray are displayed together is acquired. 
       FIG.  12    is a diagram illustrating an example of an image captured at the start of the security inspection. Here, a captured image IMG 01  captured when the user U deposits the baggage B in the conveyance tray T is illustrated. A barcode C indicating a tray ID is printed on the surface of the conveyance tray T. In this way, the face image (biometric information) of the user U and the identification information of the conveyance tray T are simultaneously acquired from one captured image IMG 01 , and link information for associating the user U and the conveyance tray T (that is, the baggage B) is created. When the user U deposits the baggage B separately in the plurality of conveyance trays T, a plurality of pieces of link information are created. 
     Next, the management server  10  decodes the barcode detected in the step S 103  to acquire a tray ID for identifying the conveyance tray (step S 104 ). 
     Next, the management server  10  acquires the face image of the user U from the captured image (step S 105 ) When a plurality of people are included in the same captured image, it is preferable to determine the position relation between people based on the distance between eyes or the like, and to acquire the face image of the person located in front. 
     Next, the management server  10  performs face matching that matches the face image acquired in the step S 105  with the registered face image stored in the user information DB  11  at one-to-N(N is equal to or more than two) (step S 106 ). 
     Next, when the management server  10  determines that the user U is a person who registers a face image (YES in step S 107 ), the process proceeds to step S 108 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the user U is not a person who registers the face image (NO in step S 107 ), the process proceeds to step S 109 . 
     In step S 108 , the management server  10  identifies the user ID of the user U based on the biometric information. Specifically, a user ID associated with a registered face image whose matching result with the face image is matching is identified among the registered face images stored in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 109 , the management server  10  acquires the passport information of the user U. Next, the management server  10  refers to the user information DB  11  based on the passport number included in the passport information to identify the user ID (step S 110 ). The passport information of the user U can be acquired, for example, by reading the passport information with a medium reading device (not illustrated) when the user U stores the baggage in the conveyance tray or when receiving the conveyance tray from the staff S. 
     Then, the management server  10  registers the user ID, the tray ID, the face image, and the inspection image in the first baggage inspection information DB  12  in association with each other (step S 111 ), and ends the process. 
     &lt;Inspection of Carry-on Baggage&gt; 
       FIG.  13    is a flowchart illustrating an example of an inspection process performed by the information processing system  1  on carry-on baggage. This process is performed, for example, when the carry-on baggage is conveyed to the position of the baggage inspection device  405  by driving the baggage conveyance device  403 . In the description of  FIG.  13   , it is assumed that the “prohibited/restricted article” excludes a first restricted article which is allowed to be carried into an airplane as carry-on baggage. 
     First, when the management server  10  determines that the conveyance tray moving into the baggage inspection device  405  is detected from the captured image received from the camera  404  installed in the vicinity of the baggage inspection device  405  (YES in step S 201 ), the process proceeds to step S 202 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the conveyance tray has not been detected (NO in step S 201 ), the standby state is maintained. 
     Next, the management server  10  identifies the tray ID of the conveyance tray by image analysis of the captured image acquired from the camera  404  (step S 202 ). 
     Next, the management server  10  refers to the first baggage inspection information DB  12  using the tray ID as a key to identify the user ID (step S 203 ). 
     Next, the management server  10  performs a baggage inspection process in cooperation with the baggage inspection device  405  (step S 204 ). Specifically, the management server  10  performs an image analysis process of a captured image (for example, a three-dimensional X-ray image) captured by the baggage inspection device  405 . 
     Next, the management server  10  determines whether or not the prohibited/restricted articles are included in the baggage by the image analysis process (step S 205 ). Here, when the management server  10  determines that the baggage includes prohibited/restricted articles (YES in step S 205 ), the process proceeds to step S 206 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the prohibited/restricted articles are not included in the baggage (NO in step S 205 ), the process proceeds to step S 209 . 
     In step S 206 , the management server  10  generates article information of prohibited/restricted articles. The article information of the prohibited/restricted articles includes information on classification, quantity, size, and the like of the article. 
     Next, the management server  10  outputs the detection result of the prohibited/restricted article to the operation terminal  42  (step S 207 ). Next, the management server  10  sets the deposition destination of the baggage in which the prohibited/restricted article is detected as the error lane (step S 208 ). Then, the process proceeds to step S 211 . 
     In step S 209 , the management server  10  outputs the non-detection result of the prohibited/restricted article to the operation terminal  42 . Next, the management server  10  determines a deposition box  410  to be a deposition destination of the baggage (step S 210 ). Then, the process proceeds to step S 211 . 
     In step S 211 , the management server  10  determines whether or not a target article is included in the baggage. Here, when the management server  10  determines that a target article is included in the baggage (YES in step S 211 ), the process proceeds to step S 212 . On the other hand, when it is determined that the object is not included in the baggage (step S 211 , NO), the process proceeds to step S 213 . 
     In step S 212 , the management server  10  generates article information of the target article. The article information of the article includes information on classification, quantity, size, and the like of the article. 
     In step S 213 , the management server  10  outputs drive control information to the baggage conveyance device  403  so that the baggage is conveyed to the destination (deposition destination) determined in the step S 208  or the step S 210 . 
     Then, the management server  10  updates the first baggage inspection information DB  12  based on the user ID of the user U and the inspection result of the baggage inspection (step S 214 ), and ends the process. 
     &lt;Inspection of Trustee Baggage&gt; 
       FIG.  14    is a flowchart illustrating an example of the inspection process for the trustee baggage of the information processing system  1 . This process is performed, for example, when the trustee baggage is conveyed to the position of the baggage inspection device  405  by the drive of the baggage conveyance device  403 . In the description of  FIG.  14   , it is assumed that the “prohibited/restricted article” excludes a second restricted article which is allowed to be carried into the airplane as trustee baggage. 
     First, when the management server  10  determines that the tag attached to the trustee baggage is detected from the captured image received from the camera  404  installed in the vicinity of the baggage inspection device  405  (YES in step S 301 ), the process proceeds to step S 302 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the tag has not been detected (NO in step S 301 ), the standby state is maintained. 
     Next, the management server  10  reads the information of the tag included in the captured image, thereby identifying the trustee baggage ID and the deposition destination (step S 302 ). 
     Next, the management server  10  refers to the user information DB  11  using the trustee baggage ID as a key, and identifies the user ID of the user U who is the owner of the trustee baggage (step S 303 ). 
     Next, the management server  10  performs a baggage inspection process in cooperation with the baggage inspection device  405  (step S 304 ). Specifically, the management server  10  performs an image analysis process of a captured image (for example, a three-dimensional X-ray image) captured by the baggage inspection device  405 . 
     Next, the management server  10  determines whether or not the prohibited/restricted articles are included in the trustee baggage by the image analysis process (step S 305 ). Here, when the management server  10  determines that the trustee baggage includes the prohibited/restricted article (YES in step S 305 ), the process proceeds to step S 306 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the prohibited/restricted article is not included in the trustee baggage (NO in step S 305 ), the process proceeds to step S 309 . 
     In step S 306 , the management server  10  generates article information of prohibited/restricted articles. The article information of the prohibited/restricted article includes information on classification, quantity, size, and the like of the article. 
     Next, the management server  10  outputs the detection result of the prohibited/restricted article to the operation terminal  42  (step S 307 ). Next, the management server  10  changes the conveyance destination of the deposited baggage (step S 308 ). Specifically, the management server  10  changes the conveyance destination of the trustee baggage from the initial conveyance destination recorded in the tag to the re-inspection site. Then, the process proceeds to step S 310 . In step S 309 , the management server  10  outputs the non-detection result of the prohibited/restricted article to the operation terminal  42 . Then, the process proceeds to step S 310 . 
     In step S 310 , the management server  10  determines whether or not a target article is included in the trustee baggage. Here, when the management server  10  determines that a target article is included in the trustee baggage (YES in step S 310 ), the process proceeds to step S 311 . On the other hand, when it is determined that the target article is not included in the baggage (NO in step S 310 ), the process proceeds to step S 312 . 
     In step S 311 , the management server  10  outputs drive control information to the baggage conveyance device  403 , and conveys the trustee baggage to the conveyance destination identified in the step S 302  or the conveyance destination changed in the step S 308 . 
     Then, the management server  10  updates the second baggage inspection information DB  13  based on the trustee baggage ID, the user ID of the user U, and the inspection result of the baggage inspection (step S 313 ) and ends the process. 
     It is preferable to detect the number of the prohibited/restricted articles and the number of the target articles in the process of  FIG.  13    and  FIG.  14    in consideration of the case where there is an article having a restriction in the carry-on quantity in the second country. Further, when common articles are included in the carry-on baggage and the trustee baggage of the same person, it is preferable that the quantity of the articles is summed up and stored in the database in association with the user ID. The database storing the information may be any one of the user information DB  11 , the first baggage inspection information DB  12 , and the second baggage inspection information DB  13 , or may be another database. 
     &lt;Entry Examination Procedure (1)&gt; 
       FIG.  15    is a sequence chart illustrating an example of process at the time of an entry examination procedure of the information processing system  1 . This process is performed when the user U arriving in the second country undergoes the entry examination procedure by the manned counter in which the staff S exists. 
     First, the operation terminal  72  acquires identification information of the user U based on an operation of the staff S (step S 401 ). Here, the identification information of the user U is a face image (biometric information) of the user U or a passport number read from a medium such as a passport. The biometric information stored in the IC chip of the passport can also be used as the identification information of the user U. 
     Next, the operation terminal  72  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 402 ). The request data includes identification information of the user U and a request to transmit the user information and the article information. When a face image (biometric information) is acquired as identification information of the user U, the face image data is included. 
     When receiving the request data from the operation terminal  72 , the management server  10  determines whether or not the identification information of the user U included in the request data is a face image (step S 403 ). When the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is a face image (YES in step S 403 ), the process proceeds to step S 404 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is the passport number (NO in step S 403 ), the process proceeds to step S 405 . 
     In step S 404 , the management server  10  performs face matching of the user U. That is, the management server  10  performs one-to-N matching between the target face image received from the operation terminal  72  and a plurality of registered face images registered in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 405 , the management server  10  refers to the user information DB  11 , and acquires the user information and the article information. Next, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the user information and the article information to the operation terminal  72  (step S 406 ). 
     In step S 407 , the operation terminal  72  performs an entry examination procedure based on the response data received from the management server  10  and the operation of the staff S. Next, the operation terminal  72  determines whether or not the entry of the user U is permitted (step S 408 ). 
     Here, when the operation terminal  72  determines that the entry of the user U is permitted (YES in step S 408 ), the process proceeds to step S 409 . On the other hand, when the operation terminal  72  determines that the entry of the user U is not permitted (NO in step S 408 ), the operation terminal  72  notifies the error information (step S 410 ). 
     In step S 409 , the operation terminal  72  determines whether or not there is an article requiring another procedure in the baggage of the user U based on the article information included in the response data. Specifically, the operation terminal  72  performs determination process by comparing the list of articles that are prohibited or restricted by the laws and regulations of the second country with the article information provided from the management server  10 . 
     Here, when the operation terminal  72  determines that there is an article requiring another procedure (YES in step S 409 ), the operation instruction information is displayed (step S 411 ), and the process proceeds to step S 412 . 
       FIG.  16    is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the operation terminal  72 . Here, the screen includes the following message of an operation instruction for the staff S. “In the AAA country, articles that are prohibited or restricted from being carried into the BBB country are detected from the user&#39;s baggage. Please confirm the baggage and guide the procedure necessary for the user.” The screen includes user information of the user U, and article information. The operation instruction screen may further display a face image of the user U or a face image of a passport. 
     On the other hand, when the operation terminal  72  determines that there are no articles requiring other procedures (NO in step S 409 ), the process proceeds to step S 412 . 
     In step S 412 , the operation terminal  72  transmits the request data to the management server  10 . The request data includes a user ID, a result of an entry examination procedure, and a database update request. 
     Next, when receiving the request data from the operation terminal  72 , the management server  10  updates the user information DB  11  (step S 413 ). Specifically, the management server  10  updates the status of the user information DB  11  to “entry examination procedure completion” using the user ID as a key. 
     Then, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the process result to the operation terminal  72  (step S 414 ), and ends the process. 
     &lt;Entry Examination Procedure (2)&gt; 
       FIG.  17    is a sequence chart illustrating an example of a process performed by the information processing system  1  at the time of entry examination. This process is performed when the user U arriving in the second country undergoes an entry examination procedure in the automatic gate device  70 . 
     First, the automatic gate device  70  acquires identification information of the user U (step S 501 ). Here, the identification information of the user U is a face image (biometric information) of the user U or a passport number read from a medium such as a passport. The biometric information recorded in the IC card of the passport can also be used as the identification information of the user U. 
     Next, the automatic gate device  70  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 502 ). The request data includes identification information of the user U and a request to transmit the user information and the article information. When a face image (biometric information) is acquired as identification information of the user U, the face image data is included. 
     When receiving the request data from the automatic gate device  70 , the management server  10  determines whether or not the identification information of the user U included in the request data is a face image (step S 503 ). 
     When the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is a face image (YES in step S 503 ), the process proceeds to step S 504 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is the passport number (NO in step S 503 ), the process proceeds to step S 505 . 
     In step S 504 , the management server  10  performs face matching of the user U. That is, the management server  10  performs one-to-N matching between the target face image received from the automatic gate device  70  and a plurality of registered face images registered in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 505 , the management server  10  acquires user information and article information. Next, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the user information and the article information to the automatic gate device  70  (step S 506 ). 
     In step S 507 , the automatic gate device  70  automatically performs an entry examination procedure based on the response data received from the management server  10 . Next, the automatic gate device  70  determines whether the entry of the user U is permitted (step S 508 ). 
     Here, when the automatic gate device  70  determines that the entry of the user U is permitted (YES in step S 508 ), the process proceeds to step S 509 . On the other hand, when the automatic gate device  70  determines that the entry of the user U is not permitted (NO in step S 508 ), the automatic gate device  70  notifies the error information (step S 510 ). 
     In step S 509 , the automatic gate device  70  determines whether or not there is an article requiring another procedure in the baggage of the user based on the article information included in the response data. Here, when the automatic gate device  70  determines that there is an article requiring another procedure (YES in step S 509 ), guide information for the user U is displayed (step S 511 ), and the process proceeds to step S 512 . 
       FIG.  18    is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the automatic gate device  70 . Here, the screen includes the following message to guide a procedure necessary for carrying the article to the user U and the article information. “In the AAA country, articles that are restricted from being carried into the BBB country are detected from your baggage. Please perform the procedure for the following articles in the quarantine site.”. 
     On the other hand, when the automatic gate device  70  determines that there are no articles requiring other procedures (NO in step S 509 ), the process proceeds to step S 512 . 
     In step S 512 , the automatic gate device  70  opens the gate. Next, the automatic gate device  70  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 513 ). The request data includes a user ID, a result of an entry examination procedure, and a database update request. 
     Next, when receiving the request data from the automatic gate device  70 , the management server  10  updates the user information DB  11  (step S 514 ). Specifically, the management server  10  updates the status of the user information DB  11  to “entry examination procedure completion” using the user ID as a key. 
     Then, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the process result to the automatic gate device  70  (step S 515 ), and ends the process. 
     &lt;First Custom Inspection Procedure&gt; 
       FIG.  19    is a sequence chart illustrating an example of a process at the time of custom inspection of the information processing system  1 . This process is performed when the user U who has completed the entry examination procedure undergoes the custom inspection procedure in the manned counter in which the staff S exists. 
     First, the operation terminal  82  acquires identification information of the user U (step S 601 ). Here, the identification information of the user U is a face image (biometric information) of the user U or a passport number read from a medium such as a passport. The biometric information recorded in the IC card of the passport can also be used as the identification information of the user U. 
     Next, the operation terminal  82  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 602 ). The request data includes identification information of the user U and a request to transmit the user information and the article information. When a face image (biometric information) is acquired as identification information of the user U, the face image data is included. 
     When receiving the request data from the operation terminal  82 , the management server  10  determines whether or not the identification information of the user U included in the request data is a face image (step S 603 ). 
     Here, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is a face image (YES in step S 603 ), the process proceeds to step S 604 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is the passport number (NO in step S 603 ), the process proceeds to step S 605 . 
     In step S 604 , the management server  10  performs face matching of the user U. That is, the management server  10  performs one-to-N matching between the target face image received from the operation terminal  82  and a plurality of registered face images registered in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 605 , the management server  10  acquires user information and article information. Next, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the user information and the article information to the operation terminal  82  (step S 606 ). Next, the operation terminal  82  acquires report information of the user U (step S 607 ). 
     In step S 608 , the operation terminal  82  automatically performs a custom inspection procedure based on the response data received from the management server  10 . Next, the operation terminal  82  determines whether or not the entry of the user U is permitted (step S 609 ). Specifically, based on the article information included in the response data, the operation terminal  82  determines whether or not there is an article requiring another procedure in the baggage of the user. 
     Here, when the operation terminal  82  determines that the entry of the user U is permitted (YES in step S 609 ), the process proceeds to step S 610 . On the other hand, when the operation terminal  82  determines that the entry of the user U is not permitted (NO in step S 609 ), the operation terminal  82  displays the operation instruction information (step S 611 ). 
       FIG.  20    is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the operation terminal  82 . Here, the screen includes the following message of an operation instruction for the staff S. “The contents of the article detected from the baggage of the user in the AAA country are different from the contents of the report. Please confirm the baggage and guide the user to the reporting procedure in the custom inspection site.” The screen includes user information of the user U, and article information. The operation instruction screen may further display a face image of the user U or a face image of a passport. 
     In step S 610 , the operation terminal  82  permits the user U to exit from the custom inspection site. Next, the operation terminal  82  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 612 ). The request data includes a user ID, results of a custom inspection procedure, and a database update request. 
     Next, when receiving the request data from the operation terminal  82 , the management server  10  updates the user information DB  11  (step S 613 ). Specifically, the management server  10  updates the status of the user information DB  11  to “completion of the custom inspection procedure” using the user ID as a key. 
     Then, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the process result to the operation terminal  82  (step S 614 ), and ends the process. 
     &lt;Second Custom Inspection Procedure&gt; 
       FIG.  21    is a sequence chart illustrating an example of a process at the time of custom inspection of the information processing system  1 . This process is performed when the user U who has completed the entry examination procedure undergoes the custom inspection procedure in the automatic custom gate device  80 . 
     First, the automatic custom gate device  80  acquires identification information of the user U (step S 701 ). Here, the identification information of the user U is a face image (biometric information) of the user U or a passport number read from a medium such as a passport. The biometric information recorded in the IC card of the passport can also be used as the identification information of the user U. 
     Next, the automatic custom gate device  80  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 702 ). The request data includes identification information of the user U and a request to transmit the user information and the article information. When a face image (biometric information) is acquired as identification information of the user U, the face image data is included. 
     When receiving the request data from the automatic custom gate device  80 , the management server determines whether or not the identification information of the user U included in the request data is a face image (step S 703 ). 
     Here, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is a face image (YES in step S 703 ), the process proceeds to step S 704 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is the passport number (step S 703 , NO), the process proceeds to step S 705 . 
     In step S 704 , the management server  10  performs face matching of the user U. That is, the management server  10  performs one-to-N matching the target face image received from the automatic custom gate device  80  and a plurality of registered face images registered in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 705 , the management server  10  acquires user information and article information. Next, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the user information and the article information to the automatic custom gate device  80  (step S 706 ). 
     Next, when the automatic custom gate device  80  acquires the report information input from the user U (step S 707 ), the automatic custom gate device  80  automatically performs the custom inspection procedure based on the response data received from the management server  10  (step S 708 ). Next, the automatic custom gate device  80  determines whether or not the country of the user U is permitted (step S 709 ). Specifically, the automatic custom gate device  80  determines whether or not there is an article requiring another procedure in the baggage of the user based on the article information included in the response data. 
     Here, when the automatic custom gate device  80  determines that the entry of the user U is permitted (YES in step S 709 ), the process proceeds to step S 710 . On the other hand, when the automatic custom gate device  80  determines that the entry of the user U is not permitted (NO in step S 709 ), the automatic custom gate device  80  displays guide information (step S 711 ). 
       FIG.  22    is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the automatic custom gate device  80 . Here, the screen includes the following message to guide a procedure necessary for carrying the article to the user U and the article information. “In the AAA country, articles requiring reporting procedures are detected from your baggage. Please perform the procedure in the manned counter since the articles are not included in the contents of the report.” 
     In step S 711 , the automatic custom gate device  80  may not only display the guide information as illustrated in  FIG.  22   , but also perform the following process. 
     (A) Without opening the gate, it is instructed to move to the entrance side of the automatic custom gate device  80 .
 
(B) After instructing the user U to correct the contents of the report, the user U instructs the user U to return to the manned counter (face-to-face examination).
 
(C) An alert is notified to the operation terminal  82  carried by the staff S of the custom inspection site. On the display screen of the alert, the position of the gate, the number of the gate, the face image of the target user U, and the like are displayed together with the information included in the screen of  FIG.  22   .
 
     In step S 710 , the automatic custom gate device  80  opens the gate. Next, the automatic custom gate device  80  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 712 ). The request data includes a user ID, results of a custom inspection procedure, and a database update request. 
     Next, when receiving the request data from the automatic custom gate device  80 , the management server  10  updates the user information DB  11  (step S 713 ). Specifically, the management server  10  updates the status of the user information DB  11  to “completion of the custom inspection procedure” using the user ID as a key. 
     Then, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the process result to the automatic custom gate device  80  (step S 714 ), and ends the process. 
     As described above, the information processing system  1  (management server  10 ) of the present example embodiment acquires the article information indicating the article included in the baggage of the passenger in the security inspection of the first country, and provides the article information to the device used in the procedure for the entry into the second country of the passenger. Thereby, in the second country, it is possible to efficiently execute the procedure for the entry person (user U). 
     The article information provided by the management server  10  to the devices in the second country includes information on articles which are permitted to be carried into the transportation equipment used by the passage for the travel and which are restricted to be carried into the second country. As a result, in the procedure of the second country, it is possible to easily determine whether or not the entry person (user U) is attempting to carry a predetermined article into the country. 
     The article information includes information on the quantity of each article. Thus, in the second country, it is possible to efficiently perform a procedure for an article having a restriction on the carry-on quantity. 
     In the present example embodiment, the management server  10  is configured to acquire the article information detected by the baggage inspection for each of the carry-on baggage and the trustee baggage, and to provide the article information to the device in the second country. This makes it possible to reliably determine whether the user U has a target article in the second country. 
     The management server  10  can provide the article information to both the devices (the operation terminal  72  and the operation terminal  82 ) operated by the staff S in the procedure for the country and the devices (the automatic gate device  70  and the automatic custom gate device  80 ) that automatically perform the procedure. Thereby, the management server  10  can efficiently perform the procedure regardless of whether the user U selects the procedure method of the interaction-format with the staff S or the self-format. 
     According to the present example embodiment, it is possible to grasp in advance the number of users U who should perform the reporting procedure in the custom inspection site of the second country. It is preferable that the number of corresponding users (occupants) U can be grasped for each flight or for each time. For example, among 200 passengers of the NH01 flight arriving at the airport AA at 14 o&#39;clock, if 30 passengers need to perform a reporting procedure in a custom inspection site, information of the corresponding passenger can be grasped in advance (for example, before an airplane arrives at the airport AA). Similarly, if 100 passengers among 1000 passengers arriving at the airport AA in the time zone from 14 o&#39;clock to 15 o&#39;clock need to perform a reporting procedure in the custom inspection site, the information can be grasped in advance. In this way, since the person who needs to perform the reporting procedure in the custom inspection site can be grasped in advance, the placement of the custom personnel can be optimized. 
     Further, according to the present example embodiment, in a case where a person who needs to perform a reporting procedure in a custom inspection site attempts to pass through the custom inspection site without reporting, it is possible to detect the person and restrict the passage of the person. For example, in the case where three people among the 30 people requiring a reporting procedure in the custom inspection site attempt to pass through the custom inspection site without reporting, it is possible to restrict the passage of the three persons. 
     Second Example Embodiment 
     The information processing system  2  (management server  10 ) of the present example embodiment is different from that of the first example embodiment in that the information processing system  2  (management server  10 ) further includes a function of providing information about a target article to a user U before the travel in the examination procedure in the first country. In the present example embodiment, the description of the same portions as those described in the first example embodiment may be omitted or simplified. 
       FIG.  23    is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a general configuration of the information processing system  2  according to the present example embodiment. As illustrated in  FIG.  23   , the management server  10  of the present example embodiment further includes a regulation information DB  14 . 
       FIG.  24    is a diagram illustrating an example of information stored in the regulation information DB  14 . The regulation information DB  14  is a database that stores regulation information on articles whose carrying of articles into the country is prohibited or restricted for each country. 
     The regulation information DB  14  includes, as data items, country name codes unique to each country, classifications (1) to (N) to which articles belong, prohibited/restricted conditions (1) to (N) for carrying articles, and operation categories at the time of carrying. The classifications (1) to (N) of the articles are preferably defined according to regulations applied to the articles in the second country. Specific examples of the prohibited/restricted condition include a quantity, an amount, and a weight. Specific examples of the operation category at the time of carrying are quarantine, custom reporting, immersion/discard, penalty, and the like. These data items are merely examples, and other data items may be further included. 
       FIG.  25    is a functional block diagram of the management server  10  according to the present example embodiment. As illustrated in  FIG.  25   , the management server  10  of the present example embodiment further includes a determination unit  10   h . The determination unit  10   h  determines whether or not a target article at a travel destination is included in the baggage based on the article information about the baggage of the user U and the regulation information at the travel destination stored in the storage unit  10   e  (the regulation information DB  14 ). 
     &lt;Departure Examination Procedure (1)&gt; 
       FIG.  26    is a sequence chart illustrating an example of a process performed by the information processing system  2  at the time of departure examination. This process is performed when the user U who has completed the security inspection procedure undergoes the departure procedure in the manned counter in which the staff S exists. 
     First, the operation terminal  52  acquires identification information of the user U based on an operation of the staff S (step S 801 ). Here, the identification information of the user U is a face image (biometric information) of the user U or a passport number read from a medium such as a passport. The biometric information recorded in the IC card of the passport can also be used as the identification information of the user U. 
     Next, the operation terminal  52  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 802 ). The request data includes identification information of the user U and a request to transmit the user information and the article information. When a face image (biometric information) is acquired as identification information of the user U, the face image data is included.

On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is the passport number (NO in step S 803 ), the process proceeds to step S 805 . 
     In step S 804 , the management server  10  performs face matching of the user U. That is, the management server  10  performs one-to-N matching between the target face image received from the operation terminal  52  and a plurality of registered face images registered in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 805 , the management server  10  acquires user information, article information, and regulation information. At this time, the management server  10  acquires regulation information from the regulation information DB  14  based on the country code of the travel destination. Next, the management server  10  transmits response data including the user information, the article information, and the regulation information to the operation terminal  52  (step S 806 ). 
     In step S 807 , the operation terminal  52  performs a departure examination procedure based on the response data received from the management server  10  and the operation of the staff S. Next, the operation terminal  52  determines whether or not the departure of the user U is permitted (step S 808 ). 
     Here, when the operation terminal  52  determines that the departure of the user U is permitted (YES in step S 808 ), the process proceeds to step S 809 . On the other hand, when the operation terminal  52  determines that the departure of the user U is not permitted (NO in step S 808 ), the operation terminal  52  notifies the error information (step S 810 ). 
     In step S 809 , based on the article information included in the response data, the operation terminal  52  determines whether or not there is an article requiring another procedure at the travel destination (the second country) in the baggage of the user U. Here, when the operation terminal  52  determines that there is an article requiring another procedure at the travel destination (YES in step S 809 ), the operation instruction information is displayed (step S 811 ), and the process proceeds to step S 812 . 
       FIG.  27    is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the operation terminal  52 . Here, the screen includes the following message of an operation instruction for the staff S. “In the security inspection, an article that is prohibited or restricted from being carried into the CCC country of the travel destination is detected from the baggage of the user. Please guide the user that the procedure needs to be performed for the following articles after entering the CCC country.” The screen includes user information of the user U, and article information. The operation instruction screen may further display a face image of the user U or a face image of a passport. 
     On the other hand, when the operation terminal  52  determines that there is no article requiring another procedure at the travel destination (NO in step S 809 ), the process proceeds to step S 812 . 
     In step S 812 , the operation terminal  52  transmits the request data to the management server  10 . The request data includes a user ID, results of departure examination procedures, and a database update request. 
     Next, when receiving the request data from the operation terminal  52 , the management server  10  updates the user information DB  11  (step S 813 ). More specifically, the management server  10  updates the status of the user information DB  11  to “completion of the departure examination procedure” using the user ID as a key. 
     Then, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the process result to the operation terminal  52  (step S 814 ), and ends the process. 
     &lt;Departure Examination Procedure (2)&gt; 
       FIG.  28    is a sequence chart illustrating an example of a process performed by the information processing system  2  at the time of departure examination. This process is performed when the user U who has completed the security inspection procedure undergoes the departure examination procedure by the automatic gate device  50 . 
     First, the automatic gate device  50  acquires identification information of the user U (step S 901 ). Here, the identification information of the user U is a face image (biometric information) of the user U or a passport number read from a medium such as a passport. The biometric information recorded in the IC card of the passport can also be used as the identification information of the user U. 
     Next, the automatic gate device  50  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 902 ). The request data includes identification information of the user U and a request to transmit the user information and the article information. When a face image (biometric information) is acquired as identification information of the user U, the face image data is included. 
     When receiving the request data from the automatic gate device  50 , the management server  10  determines whether or not the identification information of the user U included in the request data is a face image (step S 903 ).

On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is the passport number (NO in step S 903 ), the process proceeds to step S 905 . 
     In step S 904 , the management server  10  performs face matching of the user U. That is, the management server  10  performs one-to-N matching between the target face image received from the automatic gate device  50  and a plurality of registered face images registered in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 905 , the management server  10  acquires user information, article information, and regulation information. At this time, the management server  10  acquires regulation information from the regulation information DB  14  based on the country code of the travel destination. Next, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the user information, the article information, and the regulation information to the automatic gate device  50  (step S 906 ). 
     In step S 907 , the automatic gate device  50  automatically performs a departure examination procedure based on the response data received from the management server  10 . Next, the automatic gate device  50  determines whether or not the departure of the user U is permitted (step S 908 ). 
     Here, when the automatic gate device  50  determines that the departure of the user U is permitted (YES in step S 908 ), the process proceeds to step S 909 . On the other hand, when the automatic gate device  50  determines that the country of the user U is not permitted (NO in step S 908 ), the automatic gate device  50  notifies the error information (step S 910 ). 
     In step S 909 , the automatic gate device  50  determines whether or not there is an article requiring another procedure in the baggage of the user based on the article information included in the response data. Here, when the automatic gate device  50  determines that there is an article requiring another procedure at the travel destination (YES in step S 909 ), guide information for the user U is displayed (step S 911 ), and the process proceeds to step S 912 . 
       FIG.  29    is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on the automatic gate device  50 . Here, the screen includes the following message to guide a procedure necessary for carrying the article to the user U and the article information. “Articles that are prohibited or restricted from being carried into the travel destination (CCC country) have been detected from your baggage.

     On the other hand, when the automatic gate device  50  determines that there are no articles requiring other procedures at the travel destination (NO in step S 909 ), the process proceeds to step S 912 . 
     In step S 912 , the automatic gate device  50  opens the gate. Next, the automatic gate device  50  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 913 ). The request data includes a user ID, results of departure examination procedures, and a database update request. 
     Next, when receiving the request data from the automatic gate device  50 , the management server  10  updates the user information DB  11  (step S 914 ). More specifically, the management server  10  updates the status of the user information DB  11  to “completion of the departure examination procedure” using the user ID as a key. 
     Then, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the process result to the automatic gate device  50  (step S 915 ), and ends the process. 
     As described above, the information processing system  2  (management server  10 ) of the present example embodiment further includes a function of providing information about a target article to the user U before the travel in the examination procedure in the first country. Thereby, the user U can know in advance the procedure performed on the target article in the second country. As a result, the procedure for the entry to the second country can be made more efficient. 
     Third Example Embodiment 
     The information processing system  3  (management server  10 ) of the present example embodiment is different from the above-described example embodiment in that the information processing system  3  (management server  10 ) includes a function of notifying a display terminal other than a device used in a procedure for entry or departure whether or not a user U has a target article. 
       FIG.  30    is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a general configuration of the information processing system  3  according to the present example embodiment. As illustrated in  FIG.  30   , a signage terminal  90  is installed in each of the airport DA in the first country and the airport AA in the second country. The plurality of signage terminals  90  are connected to the management server  10  via the network NW. 
     The signage terminal  90  is a display terminal that acquires article information from the management server  10  based on the identification information acquired from the user U, and displays guide information for guiding the user U with the information of the target article in the second country and the procedure necessary for carrying the target article at the time of entering the second country. 
       FIG.  31    is a sequence chart illustrating an example of a process in the information processing system  3 . This process is automatically performed, for example, when the user U stands in front of the signage terminal  90  or when the user U holds a passport over the signage terminal  90 . 
     First, the signage terminal  90  acquires identification information of the user U (step S 1001 ). Here, the identification information of the user U is a face image (biometric information) of the user U or a passport number read from a medium such as a passport. The biometric information recorded in the IC card of the passport can also be used as the identification information of the user U. 
     Next, the signage terminal  90  transmits the request data to the management server  10  (step S 1002 ). The request data includes identification information of the user U and a request for transmission of user information, article information, and regulation information. When a face image (biometric information) is acquired as identification information of the user U, the user information includes data of the face image. 
     When receiving the request data from the signage terminal  90 , the management server  10  determines whether or not the identification information of the user U included in the request data is a face image (step S 1003 ). Here, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is a face image (YES in step S 1003 ), the process proceeds to step S 1004 . On the other hand, when the management server  10  determines that the identification information of the user U is the passport number (NO in step S 1003 ), the process proceeds to step S 1005 . 
     In step S 1004 , the management server  10  performs face matching of the user U. That is, the management server  10  performs one-to-N matching between the target face image received from the signage terminal  90  and a plurality of registered face images registered in the user information DB  11 . 
     In step S 1005 , the management server  10  acquires user information, article information, and regulation information. At this time, the management server  10  acquires regulation information from the regulation information DB  14  based on the country code of the travel destination. Next, the management server  10  transmits the response data including the user information, the article information, and the regulation information to the signage terminal  90  (step S 1006 ). 
     Next, based on the article information and the regulation information included in the response data, the signage terminal  90  determines whether or not there is an article necessary for another procedure in the second country of the travel destination in the baggage of the user U (step S 1007 ). 
     Here, when the signage terminal  90  determines that there is an article requiring another procedure at the travel destination (YES in step S 1007 ), the signage terminal  90  displays guide information (step S 1008 ), and the process ends. 
     On the other hand, when the signage terminal  90  determines that there are no articles requiring other procedures at the travel destination (NO in step S 1007 ) the signage terminal  90  displays a message indicating that there are no articles requiring other procedures (step S 1009 ), and the process ends. 
     As described above, the information processing system  3  (management server  10 ) according to the present example embodiment has a function of notifying whether or not the user U has a target article to the display terminal (signage terminal  90 ) other than the device used in the procedure for the entry or the departure. Thereby, the user U can know in advance the procedure performed on the target article in the second country in various places in the first country and the second country. As a result, the procedure in the second country can be made more efficient.

     Modified Embodiments 
     The present invention is not limited to the example embodiments described above, and can be appropriately modified without departing from the scope of the present invention. For example, an example in which some of the configurations of any of the example embodiments are added to other example embodiments or an example in which some of the configurations of the other example embodiments are substituted is also an example embodiment of the present invention. 
     In the above-described example embodiment, the case has been described in which the user U enters or departs by airplane. However, the present invention is also applicable to the case where the user U enters or departs from a seaport or a border. 
     A plurality of servers may have the functions of the management server  10 . For example, servers may be provided in the first country and the second country to communicate between the servers. The provision of article information from a server in the first country to a server in the second country may not necessarily be at the time of procedures in the second country. Before the airplane departs from the airport DA of the first country and arrives at the airport AA of the second country, the server of the first country may provide the server of the second country with the article information together with the boarding information. 
     Further, the article information of the target article detected in the first country can be used in a situation other than the procedure for the entry. For example, the action of the user U in which the target article is detected may be tracked by a camera disposed at each location of the airport, and the captured image may be stored. Thereby, it is possible to monitor whether or not the user U hands over the target article to another person. 
     In addition, in the case where the prohibited/restricted article is included in the trustee baggage, the current position and area of the user U may be identified based on the passage history of each touch point of the corresponding user U, and the staff S may be notified. The passage history of the touch point is, for example, the execution history of the face authentication process or the execution history of the ticket reading process such as the boarding ticket. Further, when the current position or area of the user U is identified, the user U may be detected using a monitoring camera installed in the vicinity of the user U and a face authentication technology, and the user U may be notified to the staff S located in the vicinity of the user U by including a face photograph. 
     Further, in the above-described example embodiment, the notification destination of the article information is limited to the device disposed in the airport. For example, by associating the contact of the user terminal possessed by the user U with the boarding reservation information of the user U, the user terminal may be notified of the article information.  FIG.  34    is a diagram illustrating an example of a screen displayed on a user terminal according to a modified example embodiment. Here, the screen includes the following message to guide a procedure necessary for carrying the article to the user U and the article information. “Articles that are prohibited or restricted from being carried into the travel destination (CCC country) have been detected from your baggage. When you arrive in the CCC country, take a procedure for the following articles at the custom inspection site.”. 
     The timing of notifying the user terminal of the message as illustrated in  FIG.  34    includes, for example, (A) the timing at which the baggage is inspected at the time of the country, (B) the timing of the departure examination, (C) the timing of the entry examination, and (D) the timing of the custom inspection, but the notification timing is not limited thereto. Further, in addition to the messages described above, the user terminal may be notified of information such as the position information of the airplane and the flight information (the takeoff time and the expected arrival time). 
     Further, in the above-described example embodiment, the case where the article information and the message of the target article are displayed on the screen has been described, but the notification method is not limited to the screen display. For example, the automatic gate device  70  or the like may print out the article information on a predetermined sheet and provide the article information to the user U. 
     Further, in the above-described example embodiment, the configuration has been described in which the target article is detected from both the first baggage that is carried into the cabin by the traveler boarding on the transportation equipment and the second baggage that the traveler has deposited before boarding, but the configuration may be such that at least one of the first baggage and the second baggage is used as a target to generate the article information.
