Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
<Embodiment 1>
1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of an authentication terminal 10 according to embodiment 1. The authentication terminal 10 is an information processing terminal that is installed in a facility such as a store, a gate such as a ticket barrier at a station, a vehicle, a parking lot, or the like, and performs biometric authentication of a subject.

As shown in FIG. 1, the authentication terminal 10 includes an image acquisition unit 11, an authentication control unit 12, a behavioral information acquisition unit 13, a contribution judgment unit 14, and a notification unit 15.

The image acquisition unit 11 is also called image acquisition means. The image acquisition unit 11 acquires a body image generated by photographing the subject's body. The subject's body to be photographed is at least a part of the subject's body, for example, the subject's face, fingers, eyes, ears, or palm. The authentication terminal 10 also performs biometric authentication of the subject based on the body image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11. The image acquisition unit 11 supplies the generated body image to the authentication control unit 12.

The authentication control unit 12 is also called an authentication control means. The authentication control unit 12 controls biometric authentication by matching the subject's pre-registered biometric information for registration with the biometric information for authentication acquired from the body image acquired by the image acquisition unit 11.

The behavioral information acquisition unit 13 is also called a behavioral information acquisition means. When biometric authentication is successful, the behavioral information acquisition unit 13 acquires behavioral information related to the behavior of the subject. Here, the behavioral information is, for example, the product name of a product when biometric authentication is performed when the subject pays for a product to be purchased. In addition, the behavioral information is, for example, the time when the subject passes through a ticket gate at a station when biometric authentication is performed when the subject passes through the ticket gate. In addition, the behavioral information is, for example, a driving judgment result such as whether eco-driving was performed when the authentication terminal 10 is an in-vehicle terminal such as a drive recorder mounted on a vehicle and biometric authentication of the subject is performed by the in-vehicle terminal.

The contribution judgment unit 14 is also called a contribution judgment means. The contribution judgment unit 14 judges whether the subject's behavior contributes to a predetermined goal based on the subject's behavioral information. Here, the predetermined goal may be a goal that the group to which the subject belongs aims for. Below, an example of a predetermined goal will be explained using the SDGs.

The notification unit 15 is also called a notification means. When the subject's actions contribute to the SDGs, the notification unit 15 notifies the subject that the subject's actions have contributed to the SDGs. Specifically, the notification unit 15 notifies the subject by displaying, on a display unit (not shown) of the authentication terminal 10 or the like, that the subject's actions have contributed to the SDGs.

2 is a flowchart showing the authentication method according to the first embodiment. First, the image acquisition unit 11 acquires a body image of the subject (step S10). Next, the authentication control unit 12 controls biometric authentication by matching the biometric information for registration registered in advance of the subject with the biometric information for authentication acquired from the body image acquired in step S10 (step S11). If the biometric authentication is not successful (No in step S12), this process is terminated. On the other hand, if the biometric authentication is successful (Yes in step S12), the behavioral information acquisition unit 13 acquires the behavioral information of the subject (step S13). Next, the contribution determination unit 14 determines whether the behavior of the subject has contributed to the SDGs based on the behavioral information (step S14). If the behavior of the subject has contributed to the SDGs (Yes in step S14), the notification unit 15 notifies the subject that the behavior of the subject has contributed to the SDGs (step S15), and this process is terminated. On the other hand, if the subject's actions do not contribute to the SDGs (No in step S14), this process ends.

According to the authentication terminal 10 of the first embodiment described above, when a subject performs an action that contributes to the SDGs, the subject is notified that the subject's action contributed to the SDGs substantially in real time. Therefore, when the subject performs an action, the subject can recognize that his or her action contributed to the SDGs substantially in real time, and can know what actions contribute to the SDGs. This can promote people's understanding of the SDGs.

The authentication terminal 10 includes a processor, a memory, and a storage device, which are not shown in the figure. The storage device stores a computer program that implements the processing of the authentication method according to this embodiment. The processor then loads the computer program from the storage device into the memory and executes the computer program. As a result, the processor realizes the functions of the image acquisition unit 11, the authentication control unit 12, the behavioral information acquisition unit 13, the contribution determination unit 14, and the notification unit 15.

Alternatively, the image acquisition unit 11, the authentication control unit 12, the behavioral information acquisition unit 13, the contribution determination unit 14, and the notification unit 15 may each be realized by dedicated hardware. In addition, some or all of the components of each device may be realized by general-purpose or dedicated circuits, processors, etc., or combinations of these. These may be configured by a single chip, or may be configured by multiple chips connected via a bus. Some or all of the components of each device may be realized by a combination of the above-mentioned circuits, etc., and programs. In addition, a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), an FPGA (field-programmable gate array), etc. can be used as a processor.

<Embodiment 2>
Next, an authentication system 100 according to a second embodiment will be described. Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing the overall configuration of the authentication system 100 according to the second embodiment. The authentication system 100 is a computer system that performs biometric authentication of users U-1 to U-3 who are subjects. In the following, facial authentication will be taken as an example of biometric authentication, but is not limited thereto.

The authentication system 100 includes authentication terminals 200-1 to 200-3 and a management device 300. The authentication system 100 may also include organizational servers 400-1 to 400-3, which are servers of an organization, such as a company, that uses the authentication system 100. The authentication terminals 200-1 to 200-3 and the management device 300 are capable of communicating with each other via a network N. The organizational servers 400-1 to 400-3 may be capable of communicating with at least the management device 300 via the network N. The network N is a wired or wireless communication line.

In the following description, when there is no need to distinguish between authentication terminals 200-1 to 200-3, each of the authentication terminals 200-1, 200-2, and 200-3 will be referred to simply as authentication terminal 200. Note that, although the number of authentication terminals 200 in this figure is three, it may be two or less, or four or more.
Similarly, in the following, when there is no need to distinguish between the organization servers 400-1 to 400-3, each of the organization servers 400-1 to 400-3 may be referred to simply as organization server 400. Note that, although the number of organization servers 400 is three in this figure, it may be two or less, or four or more.
Similarly, in the following, when there is no need to distinguish between users U-1, U-2, and U-3, each of the users U-1, U-2, and U-3 may be referred to simply as user U. Note that, although the number of users U is three in this figure, it may be two or less, or four or more.

Figure 4 is a block diagram showing an example of an authentication terminal 200. As shown in Figure 4, the authentication terminal 200 includes a camera 210, a storage unit 220, a memory 230, a communication unit 240, an output unit 250, and a control unit 260.

The camera 210 takes a photograph in accordance with the control of the control unit 260. The camera 210 takes a photograph of the face of the user U in accordance with the control of the control unit 260.

The storage unit 220 is a storage device in which a program 221 for implementing each function of the authentication terminal 200 is stored. The memory 230 is a volatile storage device such as a RAM, and is a storage area for temporarily storing information when the control unit 260 is operating. The communication unit 240 is a communication interface with the network N.

The output unit 250 outputs the information processing result of the control unit 260. For example, the output unit 250 has a display unit 251 and an audio output unit 252. The display unit 251 is a display device that displays the information processing result of the control unit 260. In addition, the authentication terminal 200 may be provided with an input unit (not shown) that accepts input, and the display unit 251 and the input unit may be configured integrally, such as a touch panel. The audio output unit 252 includes a speaker (not shown) and outputs the information processing result of the control unit 260 by audio.

The control unit 260 is a processor, or control device, that controls each component of the authentication terminal 200. The control unit 260 loads the program 221 from the storage unit 220 into the memory 230 and executes the program 221. In this way, the control unit 260 realizes the functions of an image acquisition unit 261, a behavioral information acquisition unit 262, and an output control unit 263.

The image acquisition unit 261 is also called an image acquisition means. The image acquisition unit 261 controls the camera 210 to capture the face of the user U and generate a face image for registration and a face image for authentication that include at least the face area of the user U. Then, the image acquisition unit 261 acquires the face image for registration and the face image for authentication from the camera 210.
The image acquisition unit 261 supplies the face image for registration and the face image for authentication to the communication unit 240 , and causes the communication unit 240 to transmit the face image for registration and the face image for authentication to the management device 300 .

The behavioral information acquisition unit 262 is also called a behavioral information acquisition means. When the biometric authentication is successful, the behavioral information acquisition unit 262 acquires behavioral information related to the behavior of the user U. Specifically, when the authentication result transmitted from the management device 300 is "success", the behavioral information acquisition unit 262 acquires behavioral information related to the behavior of the user U. Here, the behavioral information is, for example, when face authentication is performed when the user U pays for a product to be purchased, the product name of the product and the organization ID, which is the identification information of the organization such as a company that provides the product (hereinafter referred to as "organization identification information"). In addition, the behavioral information is, for example, when face authentication is performed when the user U passes through a ticket gate at a station, the time when the user U passed through the ticket gate and the organization ID of the organization such as a railway company that has the ticket gate. In addition, the behavioral information is, for example, when the authentication terminal 200 is an in-vehicle terminal such as a drive recorder mounted on a vehicle and the in-vehicle terminal performs face authentication of the user U, the driving judgment result such as whether eco-driving was performed and the organization ID of the vehicle management/monitoring system, etc. Then, the behavioral information acquisition unit 262 associates the user ID as subject identification information with the acquired behavioral information and supplies the resultant information to the communication unit 240 , and causes the communication unit 240 to transmit the user ID and the behavioral information to the management device 300 .

The output control unit 263 is also called a second notification unit. The output control unit 263 controls the output unit 250, causes the output unit 250 to output the information processing result, and notifies the user U of the information processing result. For example, the output control unit 263 causes the output unit 250 to output the face authentication result, and notifies the user U of the face authentication result.
In addition, the output control unit 263 controls the output unit 250 to output that the user U's actions have contributed to the SDGs, thereby notifying the user U that he or she has contributed to the SDGs.

Figure 5 is a block diagram showing an example of a management device 300. As shown in Figure 5, the management device 300 includes a storage unit 310, a memory 320, a communication unit 330, and a control unit 340.

The storage unit 310 is a storage device in which a program 311 for implementing each function of the management device 300 is stored. The memory 320 is a volatile storage device such as a RAM, and is a storage area for temporarily storing information when the control unit 340 is operating. The communication unit 330 is a communication interface with the network N.

The memory unit 310 stores in advance registration information 312 including at least the registration facial information of user U. Therefore, the memory unit 310 is also called a registration information storage means. An example of the registration information 312 is shown in FIG. 6. As shown in FIG. 6, the registration information 312 is information in which a user ID 312A as subject identification information is associated with registration facial information 312B. The registration information 312 may also include payment information such as a card number required for payment, and management information such as the date and time of capture of the registration facial image.

The storage unit 310 stores the point-granting conditions 313. FIG. 7 shows an example of the point-granting conditions 313. As shown in FIG. 7, the point-granting conditions 313 are information in which the action information 313A, the target item number 313B, and the points 313C are associated with each other. The action information 313A is information on the action to which points are granted, and is information on the action that contributes to the SDGs. For example, the action information 313A includes the product name of the eco-product and the organization ID of the company or the like that provides the eco-product. Alternatively, the action information 313A includes the time of staggered work hours and the organization ID of the railway company or the like. Alternatively, the action information 313A includes the driving judgment result of eco-driving or the like and the organization ID of the vehicle management/monitoring system or the like. The action information 313A may be information provided by the organization server 400. For example, the behavior information 313A may be information provided by an organization server 400 of a retail company, an organization server 400 of a MaaS (Mobility-as-a-Service) related company, a vehicle management and monitoring system, or the like. The target item number 313B is the number of each of the 17 goals included in the SDGs. The target item number 313B may also be information provided by the organization server 400 in association with the behavior information 313A. The points 313C are the number of points to be awarded.
7, the points 313C to be awarded differ depending on the goal item number 313B. As a result, for example, the points 313C corresponding to the goal item number 313B of a goal to which few users U contribute among the goals included in the SDGs can be increased. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of users U who contribute to goals to which few users U contribute among the goals included in the SDGs.

The memory unit 310 stores earned point information 314. FIG. 8 shows an example of earned point information 314. As shown in FIG. 8, earned point information 314 is information in which a user ID 314A as target identification information is associated with earned points 314B. Earned points 314B is the number of points earned by user U identified by user ID 314A.

The storage unit 310 stores the score assignment condition 315. FIG. 9 shows an example of the score assignment condition 315. As shown in FIG. 9, the score assignment condition 315 is information in which the acquired points 315A and the credit score 315B are associated with each other. Here, the credit score is a numerical value for an organization such as a company to judge the creditworthiness of the user U, and is information provided to the organization from the management device 300. The organization can provide advertisements or services to the user U by referring to the credit score. In the score assignment condition 315 shown in FIG. 9, the credit score 315B to be assigned is determined according to the level of the acquired points 315A. FIG. 10 shows another example of the score assignment condition 315. As shown in FIG. 10, the score assignment condition 315 is information in which an organization ID 315C as organization identification information, a target item number 315D, and a credit score 315E are associated with each other. The target item number 315D is the number of each of the 17 goals included in the SDGs. In the score assignment condition 315 shown in Fig. 10, the credit score 315E to be assigned is determined according to the target item number 315D. In addition, in the score assignment condition 315 shown in Fig. 10, the score assignment condition is sorted for each organization that uses the credit score. This makes it possible to increase the credit score 315E corresponding to the target item number 315D that the organization is focusing on, for example.
10 does not have to be classified for each organization that uses the credit score. Specifically, the score assignment condition 315 may be information in which the target item number 315D and the credit score 315 are associated with each other. In this case, by using the score assignment condition 315, it becomes possible to assign a credit score according to the target item.

The memory unit 310 stores earned score information 316. FIG. 11 shows an example of earned score information 316. As shown in FIG. 11, earned score information 316 is information in which an organization ID 316A as organization identification information, a user ID 316B as target identification information, and an earned credit score 316C are associated with each other. The earned credit score 316C is a credit score earned by a user U identified by the user ID 316B. In the earned score information 316 shown in FIG. 11, the credit scores earned by each user U are sorted for each organization that uses the credit score.

The control unit 340 is a processor, or control device, that controls each component of the management device 300. The control unit 340 loads the program 311 from the storage unit 310 into the memory 320 and executes the program 311. In this way, the control unit 340 realizes the functions of the registration unit 341, the authentication unit 342, the contribution judgment unit 343, the point assignment unit 344, the score assignment unit 345, and the notification unit 346.

When the registration unit 341 receives a face image for registration from the authentication terminal 200, it acquires face information for registration 312B from the face image for registration, associates the face information for registration 312B with the user ID 312A, and stores the face information for registration 312 in the storage unit 310 as the registration information 312. As an example, the face information may be a set of feature points extracted from the face image. Specifically, the registration unit 341 detects a face area included in the face image for registration, extracts feature points from the detected face area, and sets the extracted feature point information as face information for registration 312B. The registration unit 341 also generates a user ID 312A. The user ID 312A may be input to the authentication terminal 200 as the target person identification information by the user U operating an input unit (not shown) of the authentication terminal 200. Then, the user ID 312A may be transmitted to the management device 300 together with the face image for registration by the communication unit 240. In addition, when payment information such as a card number required for payment and management information such as the date and time of taking a facial image for registration are transmitted from the authentication terminal 200, the registration unit 341 may associate the user ID 312A, the facial information for registration 312B, and the management information, and store them in the memory unit 310 as registration information 312.

The authentication unit 342 is also called an authentication means. The authentication unit 342 acquires face information for authentication from the face image for authentication transmitted from the authentication terminal 200, and performs face authentication (biometric authentication) by comparing the face information for registration 312B with the face information for authentication. The method of acquiring face information for authentication from the face image for authentication is the same as the method of acquiring face information for registration 312B from the face image for registration in the registration unit 341, so the description thereof will be omitted. In addition, when the face information matches, the authentication unit 342 acquires the user ID 312A associated with the matching face information in the registration information 312. Then, the authentication unit 342 supplies the presence or absence of the match of the face information and the user ID 312A to the contribution determination unit 343 and the notification unit 346. The presence or absence of the match of the face information corresponds to the success or failure of authentication. Note that the face information matches (match exists) when the degree of match is equal to or greater than a predetermined value.

The contribution judgment unit 343 is also called a contribution judgment means. The contribution judgment unit 343 judges whether the user U's behavior contributes to the SDGs based on the behavior information transmitted from the authentication terminal 200. Specifically, the contribution judgment unit 343 judges that the user U's behavior contributes to the SDGs when the behavior information transmitted from the authentication terminal 200 matches any of the behavior information 313A of the point granting condition 313. In addition, the contribution judgment unit 343 acquires the target item number 313B and points 313C corresponding to the behavior information 313A that matches the behavior information transmitted from the authentication terminal 200. Then, the contribution judgment unit 343 supplies the behavior information 313A, the extracted target item number 313B, points 313C, and user ID 312A to the point granting unit 344. In addition, the contribution judgment unit 343 supplies the judgment result and the user ID 312A to the notification unit 346. The contribution determination unit 343 may supply the extracted target item number 313B and points 313C to the notification unit 346 in addition to the determination result and the user ID 312A.

The point giving unit 344 is also called a point giving means. If the user U's behavior contributes to the SDGs, the point giving unit 344 gives points to the user U. Specifically, the point giving unit 344 searches the acquired point information 314 for a user ID 314A that matches the user ID 312A supplied from the contribution judgment unit 343. Then, the point giving unit 344 adds the points 313C supplied from the contribution judgment unit 343 to the acquired points 314B corresponding to the user ID 314A searched in the acquired point information 314. Then, the point giving unit 344 supplies the user ID 314A, the acquired points 314B after the addition, the behavior information 313A supplied from the contribution judgment unit 343, and the target item number 313B to the score giving unit 345.

The score assigning unit 345 is also called a credit score assigning means. The score assigning unit 345 assigns a credit score to the user U according to the level of the acquired points 314B or the target item number 313B supplied from the point assigning unit 344.

Specifically, the score assigning unit 345 searches for the acquired points 315A including the acquired points 314B supplied from the point assigning unit 344 from the score assigning conditions 315 shown in FIG. 9. The score assigning unit 345 also extracts the credit score 315B corresponding to the searched acquired points 315A from the score assigning conditions 315 shown in FIG. 9. The score assigning unit 345 also searches for the organization ID 316A that matches the organization ID included in the behavior information 313A supplied from the point assigning unit 344 from the acquired score information 316. The score assigning unit 345 also searches for the user ID 316B that matches the user ID 314A supplied from the point assigning unit 344 from the acquired score information 316. The score assigning unit 345 then stores the credit score 315B extracted from the score assigning conditions 315 shown in FIG. 9 in the acquired credit score 316C corresponding to the organization ID 316A and user ID 316B searched in the acquired score information 316.
In addition, the score assignment unit 345 may supply the user ID 316B, the stored acquired credit score 316C, the behavioral information 313A and the target item number 313B to the communication unit 330, and cause the user ID 316B, the acquired credit score 316C, the behavioral information 313A and the target item number 313B to be transmitted to the organization server 400.

Alternatively, the score assigning unit 345 searches for an organization ID 315C that matches the organization ID included in the behavior information 313A supplied from the point assigning unit 344 from the score assigning conditions 315 in FIG. 10. The score assigning unit 345 also searches for a target item number 315D that matches the target item number 313B supplied from the point assigning unit 344 from the score assigning conditions 315 in FIG. 10. The score assigning unit 345 also extracts a credit score 315E corresponding to the searched organization ID 315C and the target item number 315D from the score assigning conditions 315 shown in FIG. 10. The score assigning unit 345 also searches for an organization ID 316A that matches the organization ID included in the behavior information 313A supplied from the point assigning unit 344 from the acquired score information 316. The score assigning unit 345 also searches for a user ID 316B that matches the user ID 314A supplied from the point assigning unit 344 from the acquired score information 316. Then, the score assigning unit 345 adds the credit score 315E extracted from the score assigning conditions 315 shown in FIG. 10 to the earned credit score 316C corresponding to the organization ID 316A and user ID 316B searched in the earned score information 316.
In addition, the score assignment unit 345 may supply the user ID 316B, the acquired credit score 316C after the addition, the behavioral information 313A, and the target item number 313B to the communication unit 330, and cause the user ID 316B, the acquired credit score 316C, the behavioral information 313A, and the target item number 313B to be transmitted to the organization server 400.

The notification unit 346 is also called a first notification unit. When the face authentication result indicates that there is a match in face information, that is, when the face authentication is successful, the notification unit 346 notifies the authentication terminal 200 of the face authentication result and the user ID 312A. The face authentication result may include the user ID 312A.
Furthermore, the notification unit 346 may transmit an error notification indicating that face authentication has failed to the authentication terminal 200. Note that the notification unit 346 may include the user ID 312A in the error notification, but is not limited to this.
Furthermore, the notification unit 346 notifies the authentication terminal 200 of the judgment result by the contribution judgment unit 343. When the notification unit 346 is supplied with the target item number 313B and points 313C in addition to the judgment result from the contribution judgment unit 343, the notification unit 346 may notify the authentication terminal 200 of the target item number 313B and points 313C together with the judgment result.
Furthermore, the notification unit 346 may notify the user U of the judgment result by the contribution judgment unit 343, the target item number 313B, the points 313C, and the like, via a web server accessible from a smartphone or PC owned by the user U. Furthermore, the notification unit 346 may notify the user U of the acquired point history for each target item number 313B via the web server. This is possible by the storage unit 310 storing acquired point history information in which the user ID, the target item number, and the acquired point history are associated with each other, and the notification unit 346 referring to the acquired point history information based on the user ID of the user U.
In addition, the notification unit 346 may refer to the earned point history information based on the user ID of the user U, and notify the user U via the web server of a message encouraging the user U to take action toward a target item with low earned points.

Figure 12 is a block diagram showing an example of an organization server 400. As shown in Figure 12, the organization server 400 includes a storage unit 410, a memory 420, a communication unit 430, and a control unit 440.

The storage unit 410 is a storage device in which a program 411 for implementing each function of the organization server 400 is stored. The memory 420 is a volatile storage device such as a RAM, and is a storage area for temporarily storing information when the control unit 440 is operating. The communication unit 430 is a communication interface with the network N.

The organization server 400 may transmit information that becomes the behavior information 313A of the point granting condition 313 to the management device 300. In addition, the organization server 400 may transmit information that becomes the target item number 313B to the management device 300 in association with the information that becomes the behavior information 313A.
Furthermore, the organization server 400 may associate the user ID 316B, the acquired credit score 316C, the behavioral information 313A, and the target item number 313B transmitted from the management device 300 and store them in the storage unit 410. This enables the organization to provide appropriate advertisements, services, and products to the user U based on the credit score, etc.

Figure 13 is a flowchart showing a method for registering registration information in the authentication method according to the second embodiment. First, the image acquisition unit 261 of the authentication terminal 200 causes the camera 210 to take a picture of the face of the user U to acquire a facial image for registration (step S101). Next, the communication unit 240 transmits the facial image for registration to the management device 300 and requests user registration (step S102). Next, the registration unit 341 of the management device 300 performs user registration (step S103). Specifically, the registration unit 341 of the management device 300 generates facial information for registration 312B from the facial image for registration, further generates a user ID 312A, and stores the facial information and the user ID 312A in association with each other as registration information 312 in the storage unit 310. Next, the communication unit 330 transmits the user ID 312A to the authentication terminal 200, notifies the completion of user registration (step S104), and ends this process.

Figure 14 is a flowchart showing a method of notifying the SDGs contribution in the authentication method according to the second embodiment. First, the image acquisition unit 261 of the authentication terminal 200 causes the camera 210 to take a picture of the face of the user U to acquire a face image for authentication (step S201). Next, the communication unit 240 transmits the face image for authentication to the management device 300 and requests authentication (step S202). Next, the authentication unit 342 of the management device 300 performs face authentication (step S203). Specifically, the authentication unit 342 generates face information for authentication from the face image for authentication, compares the face information for authentication with the face information for registration 312B of the registration information 312, and determines that the face authentication has been successful if the degree of coincidence of the face information is equal to or greater than a predetermined value. Next, the notification unit 346 notifies the authentication terminal 200 of the authentication result indicating whether or not the face authentication has been successful and the user ID 312A (step S204). Next, the output control unit 263 of the authentication terminal 200 notifies the user U of the result of the face authentication by displaying or outputting the result of the face authentication on the output unit 250 (step S205). If the authentication result indicates that the face authentication was successful, the behavior information acquisition unit 262 acquires behavior information related to the behavior of the user U (step S206). For example, if the face authentication is performed when the user U pays for a product to be purchased, the product name of the product and the organization ID of the organization that provides the product are acquired as behavior information. Next, the communication unit 240 transmits the user ID 312A and the behavior information to the management device 300 (step S207). Next, the contribution determination unit 343 of the management device 300 determines whether the behavior of the user U contributes to the SDGs based on the behavior information transmitted from the authentication terminal 200 (step S208). Specifically, the contribution judgment unit 343 judges that the user U's behavior contributes to the SDGs when the behavior information transmitted from the authentication terminal 200 matches any of the behavior information 313A of the point granting conditions 313. In addition, the contribution judgment unit 343 acquires the target item number 313B and the points 313C corresponding to the behavior information 313A that matches the behavior information transmitted from the authentication terminal 200. Next, the notification unit 346 notifies the authentication terminal 200 of the judgment result indicating whether the user U's behavior has contributed to the SDGs (step S209). Note that the notification unit 346 may notify the authentication terminal 200 of the target item number 313B and the points 313C in addition to the judgment result. Next, the output control unit 263 of the authentication terminal 200 causes the output unit 250 to display or output the judgment result by voice, and notifies the user U of whether or not the user U has contributed to the SDGs (step S210), and ends this process. In addition, the output control unit 263 may cause the output unit 250 to output the target item number 313B and the points 313C in step S210.

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a method of assigning points and scores in the authentication method according to the second embodiment. First, the point assigning unit 344 assigns points to the user U when the user U's behavior contributes to the SDGs (step S301). Specifically, the point assigning unit 344 adds the points 313C acquired by the contribution determination unit 343 to the acquired points 314B corresponding to the user U's user ID 314A in the acquired point information 314. Next, the score assigning unit 345 assigns a credit score to the user U according to the level of the acquired points 314B of the user U or the target item number 313B of the SDGs to which the user U contributed (step S302), and ends this process. In addition, the score assigning unit 345 may cause the communication unit 330 to transmit the user ID 316B, the acquired credit score 316C, the behavior information 313A, and the target item number 313B to the organization server 400.

According to the authentication system 100 of the second embodiment described above, when the user U performs an action that contributes to the SDGs, the user U is notified that the user U's action has contributed to the SDGs in substantially real time. Therefore, when the user U performs an action, the user U can recognize that his or her action has contributed to the SDGs in substantially real time, and can know what actions contribute to the SDGs. This can promote people's understanding of the SDGs.

In addition, while each of the 17 goals included in the SDGs is currently managed by a different government ministry or organization, this authentication system 100 makes it possible to manage all 17 goals included in the SDGs in a centralized manner.

For example, suppose that the authentication terminal 200-1 shown in FIG. 3 is an information processing terminal installed in a store, the store deals in products of a company that manages the organizational server 400-1, and the user U-1 purchases an eco-friendly product at the store. In this case, the authentication terminal 200-1 acquires a facial image of the user U-1, and the management device 300 performs facial authentication based on the facial image. In addition, the authentication terminal 200-1 acquires the product name of the eco-friendly product as the behavioral information of the user U-1, and if the product name of the eco-friendly product matches the product name in the behavioral information 313A of the point allocation condition 313, the management device 300 determines that the behavior of the user U-1 contributes to the SDGs. Then, the authentication terminal 200-1 notifies the user U-1 that the behavior of the user U-1 has contributed to the SDGs. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the display unit 251 of the output unit 250 of the authentication terminal 200-1 displays a message 251A saying, "Thank you for your eco-friendly activities. Contributing to SDGs 13." 16, a message 251B may be displayed to notify the user U-1 of the points acquired by the current action of the user U-1. Also, the audio output unit 252 of the output unit 250 may output a message such as "Thank you for your eco-friendly activities. You have contributed to SDGs 13."

Also, assume that the authentication terminal 200-2 shown in FIG. 3 is an information processing terminal installed at a station ticket gate, the railway company that owns the ticket gate manages the organizational server 400-2, and face authentication is performed when user U-2 passes through the ticket gate at a time corresponding to staggered work hours. In this case, the authentication terminal 200-2 acquires the time when the user passes through the ticket gate as behavioral information of user U-2, and if the time matches the time of behavioral information 313A of the point allocation condition 313, the management device 300 determines that the behavior of user U-2 contributes to the SDGs. Then, the authentication terminal 200-2 notifies user U-2 that the behavior of user U-2 has contributed to the SDGs. For example, the output unit 250 of the authentication terminal 200-2 displays or outputs a voice message saying, "Thank you for your cooperation in creating a livable city. Contributing to SDGs 11."

Also, assume that the authentication terminal 200-3 shown in FIG. 3 is a drive recorder mounted on a car sharing vehicle, the organization server 400-3 is a server of a vehicle management and monitoring system that manages the vehicle, and the user U-3 performs eco-driving in the vehicle. The authentication terminal 200-3 acquires a facial image of the user U-3, and the management device 300 performs face authentication based on the facial image. Also, if the authentication terminal 200-3 acquires a driving judgment result indicating that eco-driving was performed as behavior information of the user U-3, and the driving judgment result matches the driving judgment result of the behavior information 313A of the point allocation condition 313, the management device 300 determines that the behavior of the user U-3 contributes to the SDGs. Then, the authentication terminal 200-3 notifies the user U-3 that the behavior of the user U-3 has contributed to the SDGs. For example, the output unit 250 of the authentication terminal 200-3 displays or outputs a voice message saying, "Contribute to the eradication of traffic accidents by eco-driving. Contribute to SDGs 3."

In this way, the authentication system 100 makes it possible to collectively manage the activities of user U that contribute to each of the multiple goals included in the SDGs.

In addition, in this authentication system 100, if a user U's activities contribute to the SDGs, points can be awarded to the user U, thereby encouraging people to engage in activities that contribute to the SDGs.

In addition, in this authentication system 100, a user is given points whose level corresponds to the goal item included in the SDGs. Specifically, in the point giving conditions 313 shown in FIG. 7, the points 313C given vary depending on the goal item number 313B. This makes it possible to increase the points 313C corresponding to the goal item number 313B of a goal included in the SDGs to which few users contribute, for example. This makes it possible to increase the number of users who contribute to goals included in the SDGs to which few users contribute.

Furthermore, in this authentication system 100, a credit score is assigned to user U according to the number of earned points 314B or the target item number 313B acquired by user U. Therefore, a company or other organization using this authentication system 100 can use the credit score to provide appropriate advertisements, services, and products to user U based on the credit score, etc.

In the authentication system 100, the score assignment conditions 315 shown in Fig. 10 are sorted for each organization that uses the credit score. This makes it possible to increase the credit score 315E corresponding to the target item number 315D that an organization is focusing on, for example. In other words, the score assignment conditions can be changed for each organization.
For example, in the organization identified by organization ID 315C "A0001" in the score assignment condition 315 shown in Fig. 10, the credit score 315E corresponding to the target item number 315D "3" of the target item of interest of the organization can be set higher than the credit scores 315E corresponding to the other target item numbers 315D. On the other hand, in the organization identified by organization ID 315C "A0002" in the score assignment condition 315 shown in Fig. 10, the credit score 315E corresponding to the target item number 315D "11" of the target item of interest of the organization can be set higher than the credit scores 315E corresponding to the other target item numbers 315D.

In the authentication system 100, the earned credit score 316C acquired by the user U is sorted for each organization ID 316A in the earned score information 316. This makes it possible to assign a credit score to the user U according to different rules for each organization using the authentication system 100.
For example, a case will be described in which a user U identified by a user ID 314A "000002" in the earned point information 314 shown in Fig. 8 has contributed to SDGs 13 and earned 200 points. The earned points 314B of the user U identified by a user ID 314A "000002" in the earned point information 314 shown in Fig. 8 is "6000". Therefore, if an organization identified by an organization ID 316A "A0001" in the earned score information 316 shown in Fig. 11 wishes to award a credit score according to the score awarding conditions 315 shown in Fig. 9, the earned credit score 316C of the user U identified by a user ID 316B "000002" will be "3". On the other hand, if an organization identified by organization ID 316A "B0001" in the earned score information 316 shown in FIG. 11 wishes to award a credit score in accordance with the score awarding conditions 315 shown in FIG. 10, if the earned credit score 316C before awarding is "0", the earned credit score 316C of user U identified by user ID 316B "000002" will be "2".
In this manner, in the present authentication system 100, it becomes possible to assign a credit score to the user U according to different rules for each organization that uses the authentication system 100.

In the above embodiment, the configuration is described as hardware, but the present disclosure is not limited to this. Any processing can be realized by having a processor execute a computer program.

In the above example, the program can be stored and supplied to the computer using various types of non-transitory computer readable media. Non-transitory computer readable media include various types of tangible storage media. Examples of non-transitory computer readable media include magnetic recording media (e.g., flexible disks, magnetic tapes, hard disk drives), magneto-optical recording media (e.g., magneto-optical disks), CD-ROMs (Read Only Memory), CD-Rs, CD-R/Ws, DVDs (Digital Versatile Discs), and semiconductor memories (e.g., mask ROMs, PROMs (Programmable ROMs), EPROMs (Erasable PROMs), flash ROMs, and RAMs (Random Access Memory)). The program may also be supplied to the computer by various types of transitory computer readable media. Examples of transitory computer readable media include electrical signals, optical signals, and electromagnetic waves. The temporary computer-readable medium can supply the program to the computer via a wired communication path such as an electric wire or an optical fiber, or via a wireless communication path.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above. Various changes that can be understood by a person skilled in the art can be made to the configuration and details of the present invention within the scope of the invention. For example, in the above embodiment, authentication of the user U is performed by biometric authentication, but other types of authentication may be used. For example, authentication may be performed by converting the authentication information of the subject into a code symbol such as a QR code (registered trademark) in advance, and an image acquisition unit in the authentication terminal reads the QR code and comparing the authentication information recorded in the QR code with the registration information of the subject that has been registered in advance.
