Abstract
Upon recording fingerprints, a continuous fingerprint data recorder records, continuously, data about fingers of a person wishing to register. A recording status monitor monitors difficulties in data recognition which are contingent on the physical state of fingertips of the person in question. An automatic checking mode/level determinant determines a checking mode (AND or OR check) and a checking level suitable for each person in accordance with the state of his or her fingertips. The mode and level thus determined are recorded in a fingerprint database. Upon checking fingerprints, a personalized checking mode retriever and a personalized checking level retriever retrieve the checking mode and checking level of the person in question. A multiple fingerprint data checker and tester checks the recorded fingerprint data against input fingerprint data and determines the result of the checking.
