  • Patent number: 12182243
    Abstract: Provided is a system for face authentication 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 the camera of a face authentication machine and to perform a matching operation by comparing the face feature amount data of the person with that of registered users. Prior to face authentication, data of associations between face authentication machines and face matching servers entered by an administrator is transmitted from the administrator terminal to the face management server.
