  • Patent number: 7190814
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an image comparison apparatus and method in which images are acquired using a photograph unit and comparing them with a registration of memorized images. The photograph unit acquires a plurality of images of the photograph object during a period from detection of the photograph object by the object detection sensor until a press of a button. After which, the acquired image is compared with previously memorized registration images and a comparison result indicating whether or not a match exists is outputted.

  • Publication number: 20020144127
    Abstract: The purpose of the invention is to provide an apparatus, system and method for personal identification with an improved capability of generating registration data in which biometrics information of a person to be identified can be acquired and accumulated each time identification is used at an operation such as unlocking of a door only by registering ID information and so on with no biometrics information of the person to be identified registered in advance and in which registered data of the person can be efficiently generated based on the log data thus accumulated.
