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; and
perform a second matching process of matching biometrics information, on the person, detected from a second image captured in the second area, against biometrics information included in the first biometrics information group; wherein
the plurality of first areas include a near area and a far area, the near area being nearer to the second area than the far area, and
a first threshold value used in the first matching process in the near area is set according to the distance between the near area and the second area; and
a second threshold value used in the first matching process in the far area is set according to the distance between the far area and the second area,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to implement the instructions to 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 second matching process;
acquire balance information on the person detected from the first image;
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 second 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 first person from the first biometrics information group in a case where the balance is less than the billing amount.
