8 . The terminal according to claim 5 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to: acquire the boarding pass information by transmitting the passport information to the DCS (Departure Control System) server of the airline company operating the aircraft on which the user is scheduled to board; and transmit a system registration request including the biometric information, the passport information, the boarding pass information, and the consent information, to the control server connected to the authentication server.
9 . The terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions not to acquire the consent of the user to provide the information to the external party for proceeding with the boarding procedures using the biometric information in a case where a country in which the user is located is different from a country in which the airport that the user is planning to use is located.
10 . A system, comprising: a terminal possessed by a user; and an authentication server that authenticates a person to be authenticated, and wherein the terminal comprises: at least one memory storing a set of instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to: store information for proceeding with boarding procedures at an airport using biometric authentication; acquire consent of a user to provide the information for proceeding with the boarding procedures using biometric authentication to an external party; and perform control to register the information to proceed with the boarding procedures using biometric authentication, for which consent to provide to the external party has been acquired, on authentication server.
11 . The system according to claim 10 , wherein the authentication server generates a token for the user to proceed with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication, by using the information acquired from the terminal, and stores the generated token in a token management database.
12 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the authentication server deletes the token of the user after a predetermined amount of time has elapsed since departure of an aircraft that the user boarded.
13 . The system according claim 10 , wherein the biometric information is a face image or a feature valued generated from the face image.
14 . A control method of a terminal, the control method comprising: storing information for proceeding with boarding procedures at an airport using biometric authentication; acquiring consent of a user to provide the information for proceeding with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication to an external party; and performing control to register the information to proceed with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication, for which consent to provide to the external party has been acquired for providing, on an authentication server.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a terminal, a system, a control method of a terminal, and a storage medium. BACKGROUND ART There is a technology that applies biometric authentication to a procedure related to boarding of a passenger who boards an aircraft, and so on. For example, Patent Literature 1 describes that it is possible to provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a recording medium that can promote usage of biometric authentication in a procedure related to boarding of a passenger. The information processing apparatus of Patent Literature 1 includes an acquisition unit and an output unit. The acquisition unit acquires first history information indicating that a procedure related to the boarding of the passenger in an airport has been performed using biometric authentication as well as second history information indicating that the procedure has been performed by reading a medium, respectively. The output unit outputs a status of the use of biometric authentication in the above procedure based on the first history information and the second history information. CITATION LIST Patent Literature [PTL 1] International Publication WO 2021/029047 SUMMARY OF INVENTION Technical Problem As disclosed in Patent Literature 1, boarding procedures at an airport are carried out using biometric authentication. In such biometric authentication, a server stores information required to authenticate a person to be authenticated. However, such a centralized management system of personal information by the server imposes a significant information management burden on a business operator (for example, an airport company and an airline company) who operates the server. It is a main object of the present invention to provide a terminal, a system, a control method of a terminal, and a storage medium that contribute to reducing burden on business operators, or the like providing a service using biometric authentication. Solution to Problem According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a terminal, including: a storage means that stores information for proceeding with boarding procedures at an airport using biometric authentication; a consent acquisition control means that acquires consent of a user to provide the information for proceeding with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication to an external party; and a registration control means that performs control to register the information for proceeding with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication, for which consent to provide to the external party has been acquired, on an authentication server. According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system, including: a terminal possessed by a user; and an authentication server that authenticates a person to be authenticated, and wherein the terminal comprises: a storage means that stores information for proceeding with boarding procedures at an airport using biometric authentication; a consent acquisition control means that acquires consent of a user to provide the information for proceeding with the boarding procedures using biometric authentication to an external party; and a registration control means that performs control to register the information to proceed with the boarding procedures using biometric authentication, for which consent to provide to the external party has been acquired, on authentication server. According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a control method of a terminal, the control method including: storing information for proceeding with boarding procedures at an airport using biometric authentication; acquiring consent of a user to provide the information for proceeding with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication to an external party; and performing control to register the information to proceed with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication, for which consent to provide to the external party has been acquired for providing, on an authentication server. According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium storing a program causing a computer mounted on a terminal to perform processing for: storing information for proceeding with boarding procedures at an airport using biometric authentication; acquiring consent of a user to provide the information for proceeding with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication to an external party; and performing control to register the information to proceed with the boarding procedures using the biometric authentication, for which consent to provide to the external party has been acquired, on an authentication server.
