A processor with a personal verification function has a mouse used by a
hand to operate a terminal (personal computer or personal computer main
body) and being able to output a photographic blood vessel image obtained
by photographing a blood vessel image of the palm of the hand, and a
verifying unit carrying out personal verification at a desired time on
the basis of the photographic blood vessel image outputted from the mouse
and a registration blood vessel image. The mouse has a radiating unit
radiating near-infrared light toward the palm of the hand, and a
photographing unit photographing the photographic blood vessel image with
reflected light from the palm of the hand. The processor with a personal
verification function and an operating device make possible personal
authentication and personal identification at any time, and are operable
within a saved-space without placing a burden on the user.
