Abstract:
An authentication apparatus comprises a prism member, an imaging unit, and a visible light source configured to radiate visible light to a living body. The prism member has a substantially trapezoidal shape with at least one side face thereof formed in an expanded shape from a living body authentication face against which an authentication portion of the living body is put, toward an imaging face that is parallel to the living body authentication face. The visible light source is disposed below the imaging face and near a side of an expanded side of the imaging face. The imaging unit is disposed below the imaging face.

Claim (Index 4):
An authentication method by an authentication apparatus, the authentication apparatus comprising a first prism member, an imaging unit, and a visible light source that radiates visible light to a living body, wherein:\n said first prism member has a substantially trapezoidal shape with at least one side face thereof formed in an expanded shape from a living body authentication face against which an authentication portion of said living body is put, toward an imaging face that is parallel to said living body authentication face, the authentication method comprising:\n disposing said visible light source below said imaging face and near a side of an expanded side of said imaging face, and \n disposing said imaging unit below said imaging face, \n the authentication apparatus further comprising:\n a second prism member configured, wherein said living body authentication face of said first prism member is an imaging face of the second prism member, and said imaging face of said first prism member is a living body authentication face of said second prism member; \n an infrared light source; and \n a second imaging unit, wherein \n said first prism member and said second prism member are disposed so that a reflection face of said first prism member and a reflection face of said second prism member are opposed to each other, \n said second imaging unit is disposed below said imaging face of said second prism member, and \n a light shading member is provided between said reflection face of said first prism member and said reflection face of said second prism member, \n the authentication method further comprising:\n radiating, with said infrared light source, infrared light to a authentication portion of said living body, and \n capturing reflected light, by said second imaging unit, in which said radiated infrared light is reflected by said authentication portion of said living body.
