Application: Information processing system, information processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, authenticating method, and non-transitory recording medium (Patent ID: US20240202302A1)
The patent filed by Ricoh Co Ltd. describes an information processing system that collates authentication target face information with registered face information to authenticate a person based on face recognition and password entry. When multiple pieces of user identification information are found, the system requests entry of a partial password and authenticates the person based on the entered password information and multiple pieces of password registration information associated with the user identification information. The system also includes features such as determining successful authentication based on a predetermined threshold of face recognition coincidence, comparing password characters for entry, storing authentication failure groups, and enabling alternative authentication methods if face recognition alone is not successful.
The system further allows for temporary authentication as a guest user, deferring password entry until specific user operations occur, and displaying user identification information when requesting password entry. Additionally, the patent covers an information processing apparatus and image forming apparatus that utilize the authentication system for login processing and providing image-related functions. The method described in the patent involves collating face information, requesting partial password entry, and authenticating based on password information and registration data. The patent also includes instructions stored on a non-transitory recording medium for executing the authenticating method using processors.
