Abstract:
A photoelectron fingerprint identifying apparatus is disclosed. The disclosed photoelectron fingerprint identifying apparatus may include a photoelectron sensor having a light receiving surface on which a finger is placed, wherein the photoelectron sensor receives an optical intensity signal associated with an invisible light penetrating the finger before converting the optical intensity signal to a photocurrent signal, an analog/digital converter electrically coupled to the photoelectron sensor for receiving the photocurrent signal, wherein the analog/digital converter converts the photocurrent signal to a digital signal, and an image processing unit electrically coupled to the analog/digital converter for receiving the digital signal before outputting an fingerprint pattern based on the digital signal.

Abstract:
A user interface for seamlessly authenticating a user of an electronic device, the user interface comprising: an object (610) displayed on a touch-sensitive display (600) of the electronic device configured to be manipulated by a user touching and dragging the object (610); a track (612), along which the object can be dragged, wherein a sensor (620) placed underneath the track (612) is configured to authenticate the user as the user drags the object along the track (612).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Aufnahme von Fingerabdrücken (13) auf Basis von Fingerabdruckscannern (5) in zuverlässig hoher Qualität. Die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine neue Möglichkeit zur Aufnahme von Fingerabdrücken (13) in ausreichend hoher Qualität zu finden, bei der verständliche Rückinformationen vom Aufnahmeprozess in Echtzeit erfolgen, sodass der Benutzer ohne aktive Anleitung erforderliche Korrekturen der Fingerauflage vornehmen kann, wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst, indem der Aufnahmeeinheit (1) eine Bildverarbeitungseinheit (2) nachgeordnet und der Aufnahmeeinheit (1) eine zweidimensionale Anzeigeeinheit (4) zugeordnet ist, die in Abhängigkeit von Ergebnissen der in der Bildverarbeitungseinheit (2) analysierten Fingerabdrücke (13) positive Echtzeitdarstellungen der auf der Aufnahmefläche (11) aufgelegten Finger aus einem Bildspeicher (3) mit einer Bibliothek aus einer Vielzahl von animierten Fingerpositionsbildern zur einfachen Benutzerführung zur Anzeige bringt.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a memory; a touch screen; and a controller configured to select a first function for executing the first function corresponding to a first fingerprint input, store the first function to correspond to the first fingerprint input in the memory, receive a fingerprint input via a fingerprint sensor, and execute the first function when the received fingerprint input corresponds to the first fingerprint input.
Abstract:
A biometric authentication apparatus includes a storage unit which stores first shape data representing a shape of biometric information of a registered user's hand with fingers at a first posture, a first index representing the first posture, second shape data representing a shape of biometric information of the hand with the fingers at a second posture, and a second index representing the second posture; a posture specification unit which calculates a third index representing a third posture of fingers of a user's hand captured in biometric image; a biometric information extraction unit which generates third shape data representing a shape of biometric information of the user's hand captured in the biometric image; a correction unit which obtains corrected shape data by correcting the first or the second shape data to cancel a shape difference of the biometric information due to a difference between the third posture and the first or the second posture according to a ratio of a difference between the third index and the first or the second index to a difference between the first and the second indexes; and a matching unit which matches the third shape data and the corrected shape data.
Abstract:
A storage unit (111) stores an image representing biological information of a hand. A hand determination unit (112) determines a type of the hand on the basis of a result of comparison between a first feature amount which is based on the size of a first region corresponding to a first finger, among a plurality of regions corresponding to a plurality of fingers in the image, and a second feature amount which is based on the size of a second region corresponding to a second finger, among the plurality of regions in the image.
Abstract:
The invention disclosed herein describes a man-machine interface device for controlling access to electronic devices. The man-machine interface device comprises an electronic display unit including a transparent finger touch sensor region that is seated above the display apparatus, which is responsible for determining the presence and absence of a finger and for generating fingerprint images when a finger is detected. The man-machine interface device also includes a controller unit that is coupled to the display apparatus, the finger touch sensor region, and at least one electronic device. The method of the invention describes a process for authenticating individuals and verifying their security privileges to access sensitive data, based on a finger-touch selection of an icon presented on the display apparatus of the man-machine interface device.

Abstract:
A mobile phone or portable PC is proposed, which comprises a camera with an optical axis. A transparent cover is arranged movable relative to the camera, in such a way that the camera and the transparent cover can be brought into a first relative position and into a second relative position. In the first relative position, the transparent cover lies on the optical axis and the camera and the transparent cover form together an optical fingerprint sensor, which may be used for optical fingerprint imaging or an optical reader for reading graphical data codes. In the second relative position, the transparent cover lies off the optical axis, so that the camera may be used for taking pictures or recording video. The mobile phone or portable PC may additionally comprise, amongst others, a guiding element that helps user to place his finger at substantially the position for different readings.
