1. The method of curling hair comprising the steps of:
a. heating a hair clip, the clip comprising a pair of biasable opposing jaws having an open position and a closed position, each jaw having double concave inside surfaces forming a bowl shape therebetween and creating a confined space between the jaws when in the closed position;
b. forming an assemblage of hair comprising figure eight curls;
c. placing the heated hair clip directly over the assemblage of hair;
d. allowing the heated clip to remain on the assemblage of hair in the closed position for a sufficient time that the assemblage of hair retains a curled shape when the clip is removed; and
e. after step (d), removing the clip from the assemblage of hair.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. An authentication apparatus, comprising:
a memory that stores authentication information representing a check target; and
a processor that executes a program including:
first authenticating the check target at an entrance of the check target to a first area;
tracking the check target in the first area;
second authenticating the check target at an entrance of the check target to a second area after being authenticated by the first authenticating; and
detecting a check target present in a detection area and expected to be authenticated by the second authenticating,
wherein the second authenticating retrieves, from the memory, registration information of the check target detected by the detecting and authenticates the check target authenticated by the first authenticating using the registration information,
wherein the detecting detects, in accordance with tracking information from the tracking, that the check target has gotten close to or in physical contact with another check target, and
wherein the second authenticating retrieves, from the memory, registration information of the other check target that the check target has gotten close to or in physical contact with, together with the registration information of the detected check target, and authenticates the check target using the retrieved registration information.
2. The authentication apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a storage unit storing target information representing the check target authenticated at the entrance of the check target to the first area, and
wherein the second authenticating authenticates the check target at the entrance of the check target to the second area using the target information stored on the storage unit.
3. The authentication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the authentication information comprises biometric information representing the check target.
4. The authentication apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the tracking monitors whether the authenticated check target gets close to or in physical contact with the other check target based on position information andor time information of the check target being tracked.
5. An authentication method executed by an authentication apparatus, comprising:
registering, on a registration unit, authentication information representing a check target;
performing a first authentication on the check target at an entrance of the check target to a first area;
tracking the check target in the first area;
detecting a check target present in a detection area and expected to be authenticated in a second authentication, the second authentication to be performed on the check target authenticated in the first authentication at an entrance to a second area; and
performing the second authentication using registration information of the detected check target, the registration information being retrieved from the registration unit,
wherein the detecting includes detecting in accordance with tracking information obtained in the tracking that the check target has gotten close to or in physical contact with another check target, and
wherein the second authentication includes retrieving, from the registration unit, registration information of the other check target that the check target has gotten close to or in physical contact with, together with the registration information of the detected check target.
6. The authentication method according to claim 5, the method further comprising storing target information representing the check target authenticated at the entrance of the check target to the first area, and
wherein the second authentication includes authenticating the check target at the entrance of the check target to the second area using the stored target information.
7. The authentication method according to claim 5, wherein the authentication information comprises biometric information representing the check target.
8. The authentication method according to claim 5, wherein the tracking comprises monitoring whether the authenticated check target gets close to or in physical contact with the other check target based on position information andor time information of the check target being tracked.
9. A computer-readable storage medium having stored a program, the program causing an authentication apparatus to perform a method of the authentication apparatus, the method comprising:
registering, on a registration unit, authentication information representing a check target;
performing a first authentication on the check target at an entrance of the check target to a first area;
tracking the check target in the first area;
detecting a check target present in a detection area and expected to be authenticated in a second authentication, the second authentication to be performed on the check target authenticated in the first authentication at an entrance to a second area; and
performing the second authentication using registration information of the detected check target, the registration information being retrieved from the registration unit,
wherein the detecting includes detecting in accordance with tracking information obtained in the tracking that the check target has gotten close to or in physical contact with another check target, and
wherein the second authentication includes retrieving, from the registration unit, registration information of the other check target that the check target has gotten close to or in physical contact with, together with the registration information of the detected check target.
10. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9, the method further comprising storing target information representing the check target authenticated at the entrance of the check target to the first area, and
wherein the second authentication includes authenticating the check target at the entrance of the check target to the second area using the stored target information.
11. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the authentication information comprises biometric information representing the check target.
12. The computer-readable storage medium according to claim 9, wherein the tracking comprises monitoring whether the authenticated check target gets close to or in physical contact with the other check target based on position information andor time information of the check target being tracked.
