摘要:
An apparatus for detecting fingerprints includes a transparent plate (2), onto which a finger (1) is placed, a light source (31) located under the transparent plate (2) for projecting a light beam towards a portion of the surface of the finger (1) and a light detection unit (501,502) located below the transparent plate for receiving the light reflected by the surface of the finger for detecting the characteristic pattern thereof; the light detection unit (501,502) is sensitive to colour changes of the pattern surface when the finger is pressed onto the transparent plate (2).

A biometric authentication apparatus includes: a storage unit which stores identification information and authentication information of a plurality of registrants; a deletion process unit which registers, when receiving a request to delete the authentication information of any of the plurality of registrants, the identification information of the registrant to a deletion list, and deletes, from the storage unit, the authentication information of the registrant corresponding to the identification information registered on the deletion list at predetermined time; and an authentication process unit which matches the biometric information of the plurality of registrants with biometric information of a user based on the authentication information of each registrant and authentication information extracted from biometric data representing the biometric information of the user to determine whether or not to authenticate the user as any of the plurality of registrants other than the registrants corresponding to the identification information registered on the deletion list.
摘要:
According to the present invention, a method of biometric authentication comprises, storing information corresponding to a plurality of users in association with first reference biometric data and second reference biometric data, the users being divided into first and second groups, the quality of the first reference biometric data of each of the users in the first group being not less than a predetermined level, the quality of the first reference biometric data of each of the users in the second group being less than the predetermined level, obtaining first biometric data of a user by inputting first biometric information of the user, providing first authentication, obtaining second biometric data of a user by inputting second biometric information of the user when the first authentication indicates presumed matching of the first biometric data with the first biometric reference data of one of the users in the second group and providing second authentication. The present invention achieving high-speed and high-compatibility rate biometric authentication, even if the user is incompatible with the high-speed authentication method.

摘要:
A fingerprint authentication device includes a sweep fingerprint sensor that acquires images of a fingerprint on a finger at at least two different sensitivity levels in a single scan, and a counterfeit-finger determining unit that determines whether the finger is counterfeit based on the images acquired by the sweep fingerprint sensor.
摘要:
A terminal (10) used for authentication is equipped with a biometric data storing unit (1) for storing therein various kinds of biometric data associated with the user of the terminal, and a sensor (2) for acquiring biometric data. When transmission of the biometric data necessary for authentication is requested from an authentication device, the user's biometric data is entered through the sensor (2) and, after the user's identity has been authenticated at the terminal (10), the biometric data requested by the authentication device is retrieved, from the biometric data storing unit (1), and transmitted to the authentication device.
摘要:
A rolled fingerprint image capturing system aiming at providing a system capable of capturing an image of a precise rolled fingerprint by a simple operation, comprises an image inputting unit for inputting in time-series the fingerprint image of the finger rolled on an input surface, a characteristic point detecting unit(7) for detecting a characteristic point of the fingerprint image from each set of frame data, a synthetic area determining unit for determining an area to be extracted for synthesis in accordance with a position of the characteristic point, an image extracting unit(10) for extractingimage data in the area from the frame data, and an image synthesizing (11) unit for synthesizing the images by rewriting the image data corresponding to the area of a synthesized frame obtained by synthesizing the data up to the frame data just anterior to the above frame data, into the image data extracted by the image extracting unit (10).
摘要:
An apparatus used in a fingerprint identification for extracting minutia data from a fingerprint picture image data includes an optical sensor unit (11) for optically producing a sequence of fingerprint picture data during one pressing down operation of a fingerpad onto an inspection plate; and a data storing unit (2) for storing the produced fingerprint picture image data in the form of a sequence of fingerprint picture image data obtained during one pressing down operation of the fingerpad onto the inspection plate. The stored fingerprint picture image data is analysed by a minutiae data extracting circuit (32) to determine characteristics of the fingerprint and these are subsequently used for fingerprint identification.
