  • Patent number: 12111900
    Abstract: A system for face authentication is provided, which can operate separately for individual providers of face authentication service in a stable and efficient manner. The system includes: face authentication machines; an administrator terminal; a face management server for storing face image data of registered users; and face matching servers, each configured to generate face feature amount data of a person to be verified from image data acquired from a camera of one of the face authentication machines. The system performs a matching operation by comparing the face feature amount data of the person with the face image data of the registered users. Further, prior to face authentication, data of associations between the face authentication machines and the face matching servers, which is entered by an administrator, is transmitted from the administrator terminal to the face management server.
