摘要

Authentication for several users for performing several functions simultaneously in single terminal is performed using chip card or magnetic card, by acquiring information such as user name, password or other biometric information from users. Authentication is only requested when one event out of a predetermined amount of events occurs within a used function. An independent claim is also included for computer or computer controlled device.
