Abstract

A terminal device is provided that has a position determination unit that, when authentication images that capture biological information are to be obtained, determines the position of the next touch location to be displayed in a guide display for touch locations that represent a read operation for the biological information. The determination is made from: the refresh rate of a display that displays the guide display; the number of authentication images to be acquired; and the distance at which the guide display is updated.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A terminal device comprising:
a position determination unit that, when obtaining authentication images in which biometric information is captured, determines a position of a touch area to be presented next, in a guide display of touch areas indicating a biometric information reading operation, based on a refresh rate of a display providing the guide display, a number of authentication images to be acquired and a distance over which the guide display is to be updated.

2. The terminal device according to claim 1 , comprising:
the display that presents a touch area at the determined position of the touch area to be presented next; wherein
the position determination unit determines the position of the touch area to be presented next in accordance with a guide display response time for the reading operation.

3. The terminal device according to claim 2 , wherein:
the guide display response time for the reading operation is 0.2 seconds or less.

4. The terminal device according to claim 1 , comprising:
an acquisition unit that acquires a reading operation touch position; wherein
when the acquired reading operation touch position exceeds an acceptable range for the position of the touch area to be presented next, the position determination unit determines the position of the touch area to be presented next as a position obtained by adding a predetermined distance, depending on the acquired reading operation touch position, to the determined position of the touch area to be presented next.

5. A display control method comprising:
when obtaining authentication images in which biometric information is captured, determining a position of a touch area to be presented next, in a guide display of touch areas indicating a biometric information reading operation, based on a refresh rate of a display providing the guide display, a number of authentication images to be acquired and a distance over which the guide display is to be updated.

6. The display control program according to claim 5 , comprising:
presenting a touch area at the determined position of the touch area to be presented next; wherein
the position of the touch area to be presented next is determined in accordance with a guide display response time for the reading operation.

7. The display control program according to claim 6 , wherein:
the guide display response time for the reading operation is 0.2 seconds or less.

8. The display control program according to claim 5 , comprising:
acquiring a reading operation touch position; wherein
if the acquired reading operation touch position exceeds an acceptable range for the position of the touch area to be presented next, the position of the touch area to be presented next is determined as a position obtained by adding a predetermined distance, depending on the acquired reading operation touch position, to the determined position of the touch area to be presented next.

9. A terminal device comprising:
a position determination unit that, when obtaining images in which biometric information is captured for authentication, determines a next display position of a guide display indicating touch areas that are moved in a biometric information reading operation, based on a frame rate of a display providing the guide display, a number of authentication images to be acquired and a distance over which the guide display is to be updated.
