Abstract: There is provided an information processing apparatus and an information processing method capable of improving security against leakage of a registered fingerprint in fingerprint authentication. Collation is performed on the basis of whether or not a feature amount of a partial region of an entire fingerprint imaged by a fingerprint imaging unit and a method of operation on the fingerprint imaging unit match the feature amount of the partial region of the entire fingerprint and the method of operation registered in advance. Application to a fingerprint authentication device is possible.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an information providing apparatus and method, a program, and an information processing terminal capable of easily acquiring information regarding asset management of an individual.

Abstract: Provided are a server device, a terminal device, an information processing program, and an information processing method suitable for use in money lending and borrowing between people. A server device (10a) according to the present disclosure include a generation unit (100) that generates one or more pieces of interest rate information using a rating of a borrower as an individual, the rating being calculated on the basis of attribute information of the borrower, and a provision unit (107) that provides the one or more pieces of interest rate information to at least a second terminal device (30a, 30b) operated by a lender for the borrower out of a first terminal device (20a) operated by the borrower and the second terminal device, and provides interest rate information selected from among the one or more pieces of interest rate information in the second terminal device to a terminal device.

Abstract: A server device, a terminal device, an information processing program, and an information processing method capable of giving the premium back to a purpose appropriate for the user are provided. A server device (10) according to the present disclosure includes a generation section (112) that acquires insurance type information (201) indicating a type of insurance that a user purchases and pertaining information (202) related to the insurance, and generates a candidate list (30) of donation recipients including information regarding one or more donation recipients on the basis of the insurance type information and the pertaining information that have been acquired.

Abstract: An authentication device includes a deciding unit (118) that, based on distribution information of the feature points included in a pattern present in some part of the body of the user, decides on the position of that part of the body to be used in authentication of the user; a guiding unit (120) that, based on the decided position, guides the concerned part of the body to the decided position for the purpose of authentication of the user; and an authenticating unit (122) that performs authentication of the user based on feature information of the pattern as obtained due to the guiding.
