Abstract

A program in the present invention causes a computer to perform: performing a first process for performing a predetermined process related to an aircraft boarding procedure and acquiring boarding reservation information on a user; when the process is completed, performing a second process for matching biometric information acquired from the user with passport biometric information included in passport information acquired from a passport of the user and, when a result of the matching of the biometric information with the passport biometric information is that the matching is successful, associating the passport information, the biometric information, and the boarding reservation information with each other; and performing a switching process for switching whether to perform the first process or the second process.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A non-transitory computer-readable program that causes a computer to perform:
based on a predetermined process related to an aircraft boarding procedure of a user having been completed in a first application, starting a second application;
controlling, in the second application, an authentication between biometric information and passport biometric information, the biometric information is acquired, in the second application, from the user, the passport biometric information is acquired, in the second application, from passport information of a passport of the user, and the passport information is acquired, in the second application, from the passport;
based on the authentication being completed in the second application, acquiring, in the first application, boarding reservation information based on the passport information acquired in the second application; and
issuing a token ID to be invalidated when the user boards an aircraft in association with the passport information acquired in the second application, the biometric information acquired in the second application, and the boarding reservation information acquired in the first application.

2. The program according to claim 1 , wherein the program further causes the computer to switch a screen on a display device from a first screen controlled by the first application to a second screen controlled by the second application.

3. The program according to claim 2 , wherein the program further causes the computer to control the display device to display the second screen during a reading of the passport.

4. The program according to claim 2 , wherein the program further causes the computer to control the display device to display the first screen before the reading of the passport.

5. The program according to claim 1 , wherein controlling the authentication comprises, within a predetermined time limit, acquiring the biometric information, acquiring the passport biometric information, and performing the authentication.

6. The program according to claim 1 , wherein the program further causes the computer to:
transmit the passport information, the biometric information, and the boarding reservation information to a server apparatus; and
control issuance of an identifier that associates the passport information, the biometric information, and the boarding reservation information with each other.

7. The program according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring, in the first application, the boarding reservation information comprises a process of reading an airline ticket medium possessed by the user.

8. The program according to claim 1 , wherein acquiring, in the first process, the boarding reservation information comprises acquiring, based on the passport information, the boarding reservation information from a computer system managed by an airline company.

9. The program according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric information is any of a face image, an iris image, and a fingerprint image.

10. The program according to claim 1 , wherein the program further causes the computer to perform:
switching, based on the predetermined process having been completed in the first application, from the first application to the second application; and
switching, based on the authentication being completed in the second application, from the second application to the first application.

11. An information processing apparatus comprising:
a memory configured to store instructions; and
a processor configured to execute the instructions to:
based on a predetermined process related to an aircraft boarding procedure of a user having been completed in a first application, starting a second application;
controlling, in the second application, an authentication between biometric information and passport biometric information, the biometric information is acquired, in the second application, from the user, the passport biometric information is acquired, in the second application, from passport information of a passport of the user, and the passport information is acquired, in the second application, from the passport;
based on the authentication being completed in the second application, acquiring, in the first application, boarding reservation information based on the passport information acquired in the second application; and
issuing a token ID to be invalidated when the user board an aircraft in association with the passport information acquired in the second application, the biometric information acquired in the second application, and the boarding reservation information acquired in the first application.

12. An information processing method comprising:
based on a predetermined process related to an aircraft boarding procedure of a user having been completed in a first application, starting a second application;
controlling, in the second application, an authentication between biometric information and passport biometric information, the biometric information is acquired, in the second application, from the user, the passport biometric information is acquired, in the second application, from a passport information of a passport of the user, and the passport information is acquired, in the second application, from the passport;
based on the authentication being completed in the second application, acquiring, in the first application, boarding reservation information based on the passport information acquired in the second application; and
issuing a token ID to be invalidated when the user board an aircraft in association with the passport information acquired in the second application, the biometric information acquired in the second application, and the boarding reservation information acquired in the first application.
