1. A face authentication machine that makes a processing request for face authentication of a user in a facility to a face authentication server, which performs the face authentication, when an event based on an action of the user in the facility is generated, and notifies the user of an authentication result, the face authentication machine comprising:
a camera that acquires live images of a predetermined capturing area in the facility, the live images including a face image of the user;
a display that displays a progress of the face authentication of the face image of the user, the face image being included in the live images acquired by the camera; and
a processor that controls the camera and the display, wherein
the processor sequentially displays at least three notification screens indicating the progress of the face authentication on the display, when the user is detected from the live images,
wherein a first notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor when the user is detected until the face image of the user is acquired, displays an image of the predetermined capturing area in the facility,
a second notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor after the face image of the user is acquired, displays first indicia which indicate that the face authentication is in progress, and
a third notification screen of the three notification screens, which is displayed on the display by the processor when the authentication result is received, displays second indicia which indicate the authentication result.
