Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an imaging unit, an authenticating unit, and a controller. The imaging unit acquires a face image of a user. The authenticating unit performs a first authentication process based on the face image and a second authentication process based on information other than the face image. The controller suspends the first authentication process based on the face image while maintaining the imaging unit in an activated state when the authenticating unit performs the second authentication process.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image capturing unit, a registration unit, a display, and an authentication unit. The image capturing unit captures a face image of a user. The registration unit registers the captured face image. The display displays, in a case where a face image is to be captured and registered, a guide image for capturing, in addition to a first image which is the face image of the user, at least any one of an upward-oriented image and a downward-oriented image, the upward-oriented image being an image in which a face of the user is oriented upward relative to the first image, the downward-oriented image being an image in which the face is oriented downward relative to the first image. The authentication unit performs face authentication by comparing a face image obtained by the image capturing unit with a registered face image.
