It has been gathering great deal of attention to provide personalized services in the home or in the small office. As a necessary technology for it, person recognition by pressure sensors on a chair is described. It exploits the hipprints of users. Such a method makes it possible to automatically login to a computer when the user sits. The recognition rate reached to 99.6% for 5 people and 98.4% for 10 people.
