9 Claims

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory configured to store instructions; and

at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:

perform a first matching process of matching biometrics information on a person, detected from a first image captured in a plurality of first areas that are more distant from a restricted area than a second area that, along a path from the plurality of first areas to the restricted area, is between the plurality of first areas and the restricted area, against a registered biometrics information group including biometrics information on a plurality of registrants;

identify a first biometrics information group, including biometrics information on the person from the registered biometrics information group, based on a matching result of the first matching process;

perform a second matching process of matching biometrics information on a person detected from a second image captured in the second area, against biometrics information included in the first biometrics information group;

perform a third matching process of matching authentication information in a medium for authentication presented from the person detected from the second image against registered authentication information on the plurality of registrants in a case where the person detected from the second image is not authenticated in the second matching process;

store the first biometrics information group;

delete biometrics information on the person detected from a first image, from the first biometrics information group, in response to the third matching process using the medium being successful;

determine whether or not the person detected from the second image is authorized for passage from the second area to the restricted area based on the matching result in the third matching process;

acquire balance information on the person detected from the first image; and

determine whether or not the person detected from the second image is authorized for the passage to the restricted area based on the matching result in the third matching process and on the balance information;

determine whether or not a balance indicated by the balance information is greater than or equal to a billing amount; and

delete the biometrics information on the person from the first biometrics information group in a case where the balance is less than the billing amount.
