Abstract:
A person authentication system includes: an authentication server storing biometric data for matching related to an anonymous ID of a user; a biometric sensor acquiring biometric data of the user; and a terminal acquiring an anonymous ID stored in an electronic storage medium and transmitting the anonymous ID to the authentication server together with the biometric data acquired by the biometric sensor, wherein the authentication server transmits data needed for an access to personal data stored in the electronic storage medium to the terminal when there is a correspondence to a predetermined extent between the biometric data acquired by the biometric sensor and biometric data for matching related to the anonymous ID.
Abstract:
A plurality of processes executed on an operating system of a computer are monitored, the correspondence relations between each process and pieces of information processed by each process are registered in a process management table. Then, the relations between the pieces of information are extracted by analyzing what processes have been executed between the pieces of information of each process by referring to the result of the monitoring of the processes and to the process management table. The extracted relations between the pieces of information are registered into an attribute information table created for each piece of information of each process. A plural pieces of related information are displayed in a related information list based on the attribute information table of certain information being processed and pieces of related information selected in the list are accessed.
Abstract:
A mobile electronic apparatus in which various functions can be easily added without impairing the mobility and without making any change in the hardware.
