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 is 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 reflect light from the former surface toward the latter surface. A visible light source below the imaging surface radiates visible light to the living body via the imaging and living body contact surfaces. The reflection surface is at an angle such that 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 reaches the living body contact surface via the reflection surface. A first imaging unit captures a living-body reflected light.

Claim (Index 7):
A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program to cause a computer to execute an authentication method using an authentication apparatus, said authentication apparatus comprising a prism member, a first imaging unit, and a visible light source configured to radiate a visible light to a living body,\n said prism member comprising: a living body contact surface configured to be in contact with a 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, said visible light source is disposed below said imaging surface and radiates said visible light to said living body via said imaging surface and said living body contact surface, wherein said reflection surface is disposed at such an angle that 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 reaches said living body contact surface by way of said reflection surface, said program causes said computer to execute: bringing a living body into contact with said living body contact surface of said prism member; radiating a visible light to said living body; capturing a living-body reflected light that is light radiated from said visible light source and transmitted through said imaging surface 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.
