  • Patent number: 11961329
    Abstract: The disclosure is inputting a first image obtained by capturing an object of authentication moving in a specific direction; inputting a second image at least for one eye obtained by capturing a right eye or a left eye of the object; determining whether the second image is of the left eye or the right eye of the object, based on information including the first image, and outputting a determination result associated with the second image as left/right information; comparing characteristic information relevant to the left/right information, the characteristic information being acquired from a memory that stores the characteristic information of a right eye and a left eye pertaining to object to be authenticated, with characteristic information associated with the left/right information, and calculating a verification score; and authenticating the object captured in the first image and the second image, based on the verification score, and outputting an authentication result.

  • Patent number: 10092048
    Abstract: The present invention embodies a garment which can smoothen motions of its wearer by a new technique, which is totally different from that of exerting a tightening force on a muscle, according to findings that the range of motion of a joint can be widened if a structure for extending and gathering respective parts of a skin gathering and leaving when the joint works in relation to bending/extension or abduction/adduction of the wearer is added to the garment and that the range of motion of the joint can be widened if a structure for moving the skin along a direction of motion of a muscle when the joint works in relation to turning of the wearer is added to the garment, on the basis of a close relationship between a motion of the skin when the joint works and an extending direction of a tension line.
