PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To appropriately control illuminance of visible light when performing biometric authentication using visible light and invisible light.SOLUTION: An information processing apparatus 2 comprises: an authentication unit 30 for performing biometric authentication on the basis of a photographed image of an authentication object irradiated with invisible light and a photographed image of the authentication object irradiated with visible light a determination unit 27 for determining whether the authentication object covers an irradiation area of visible light on the basis of the photographed image of the authentication object irradiated with invisible light and an irradiation controller 28 for controlling illuminance of visible light to a first value when it is determined that the authentication object covers the irradiation region of visible light, and controlling the illuminance of visible light to a second value lower than the first value when it is determined that the authentication object does not cover the irradiation region of visible light.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8【課題】可視光と不可視光とを用いて生体認証を行う際の可視光の照度を適正に制御することを目的とする。【解決手段】情報処理装置2は、不可視光が照射された認証対象の撮影画像と可視光が照射された認証対象の撮影画像とに基づいて、生体認証を行う認証部30と、不可視光が照射された認証対象の撮影画像に基づいて、認証対象が可視光の照射領域を覆っているかを判定する判定部27と、認証対象が可視光の照射領域を覆っていると判定された場合、可視光の照度を第1の値に制御し、認証対象が可視光の照射領域を覆っていないと判定された場合、可視光の照度を第1の値より低い第2の値に制御する照射制御部28と、を含む。【選択図】図8
