*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18021492 Titled 'AUTHENTICATION APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM'

==Simplified Explanation==

This abstract describes an authentication apparatus that uses face recognition technology to determine if a target entity matches any registered entities. The apparatus computes an authentication score based on the face information of the registered entities and the target image. If no registered entity has a score above a certain threshold, the apparatus detects a symbol from the target image, which is displayed on a face attachment. The apparatus then determines if there is a registered entity that matches the target entity based on the symbol and the authentication score.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An authentication apparatus () acquires a target image () including a face area () of a target entity (). The authentication apparatus () computes, for one or more registered entities, an authentication score indicating a level of a probability that the target entity () matches the registered entity by using face information () of the registered entity and the face area (). The authentication apparatus () detects a symbol () from the target image () when there is no registered entity whose authentication score is greater than a first threshold. The symbol () is displayed on an attachment () worn on the face. When determining whether there is a registered entity matching the symbol () among the registered entities satisfying a predetermined condition based on the authentication score, the authentication apparatus () determines that there is a registered entity that matches the target entity ().
