Abstract:
A prism member of an authentication apparatus includes a living body contact surface configured to be in contact with the living body, and an imaging surface opposed to the living body contact surface and formed at a position generally parallel therewith. The prism member includes a reflection surface in contact with the living body contact surface and the imaging surface, to totally reflect light reflected from the former surface toward the latter surface. The reflection surface is at angle such that (i) light through the living body contact surface into the prism member does not reach to the reflection surface, and (ii) light from an inside of the prism member is totally reflected at the living body contact surface in an optical path running from the imaging surface and reaching the living body contact surface by way of the reflection surface. A first imaging unit captures a living-body reflected light.

Claim (Index 1):
An authentication apparatus including a prism member, a first imaging unit, and a visible light source configured to radiate a visible light to a living body,\n wherein said prism member comprises: a living body contact surface configured to be in contact with the living body; an imaging surface configured to be opposed to said living body contact surface and to be formed at a position generally parallel therewith; and a reflection surface configured to be in contact with said living body contact surface and said imaging surface, and to totally reflect light reflected from said living body contact surface toward said imaging surface, wherein said reflection surface is disposed at such an angle that (i) light through said living body contact surface into said prism member does not reach to said reflection surface, and (ii) light from an inside of said prism member is totally reflected at said living body contact surface in an optical path running from said imaging surface and reaching said living body contact surface by way of said reflection surface, and said first imaging unit captures a living-body reflected light that is light radiated from said visible light source reflected by the living body in contact with said living body contact surface, and a reflection surface reflected light that is said living-body reflected light reflected by said reflection surface.
