摘要： An input unit receives the input a fingerprint image of a user. A classification unit classifies the fingerprint image inputted by the input unit into any of a plurality of groups defined on the basis of individual differences of the fingerprint. Based on the classification result of fingerprint width, namely, the type of a group determined by the classification unit, a switching control unit selects either a normal fingerprint width feature extraction processing unit or a narrow fingerprint width feature extraction processing unit provided in a feature extraction unit. A feature extraction unit processes the fingerprint image, using processing methods defined respectively for the plurality of groups. A verification data preparation unit prepares fingerprint verification data. A fingerprint identification unit checks the fingerprint verification data prepared by an identification data preparation unit against fingerprint identification data enrolled in a biological information storage unit.

摘要： In an authentication input apparatus, an input unit is a surface for inputting data of an input device such as a pressure sensitive sensor. The input device may also be an optical sensor such as a CCD. The input unit receives from a user input of a fingerprint, a signature or the like. In inputting the signature, the input unit functions as a tablet for inputting signatures utilizing a stylus equipment or the like. In inputting the fingerprint or the signature the user specifies the type of authentication information to be inputted by pressing a fingerprint selection button or a signature selection button. Fingerprint data are obtained by the input device when the user puts the finger on the input unit after pressing the fingerprint selection button. Signature data are obtained by the input device when the user signs on the input unit 10 after pressing the signature selection button.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention improve the safety against a fall of a disk drive device. In one embodiment, when an HDD has recognized detection result data of a fall sensor to indicate a fall, the HDD unloads a head slider from above a disk to a stand-by position. The HDD checks whether or not the detection result data of the fall sensor indicates a fall on the occasion of a seek start. If the data indicates a fall, the controller unloads an actuator. The HDD issues a seek fake error on the occasion of a seek completion. On the occasion of a re-seek start in the error recovery process, the HDD conducts a fall check referring to the detection result data.

摘要： In order to acquire a suitable fingerprint image by correcting an elongated fingerprint image, a line sensor acquires fingerprint image as a plurality of line-shaped images. A computation unit computes a similarity value by use of an evaluation function for evaluating the degree of similarity between the line-shaped images. The similarity value represents the degree of similarity between a first line-shaped image and a second line-shaped image which serve as a similarity evaluation target and are included in the plurality of the line-shaped image. A compression unit compresses the first line-shaped image and the second line-shaped image when the similarity value is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value to generate a new line-shaped image. A generation unit generates the entire fingerprint image by combining the new line-shaped image with the other line-shaped images.

摘要： A data holding unit holds data sets each composed of a fingerprint image and recording setting data associated with the fingerprint image. A fingerprint image acquisition unit acquires a fingerprint image newly from a user. A similarity value calculation unit compares the fingerprint image newly acquired from the user and the fingerprint image held in the data holding unit, and indicates a degree of similarity therebetween as a similarity value by using a similarity evaluation function for indicating a degree of similarity between a plurality of types of fingerprint images. A load data selection unit reads recording setting data corresponding to a fingerprint image having a similarity value reaching or exceeding a predetermined value if the fingerprint image is held in the data holding unit, and reads certain data prepared in advance if not.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention realize a power-save mode which prevents reduction in performance of a data storage device. The HDD as an embodiment of the present invention, upon receiving a request for switching to a power-save mode (PMREQ) from the host, judges whether the serial interface should be switched to the power-save mode based on the execution status of the command. When the HDD has determined not to switch the serial interface to the power-save mode, the HDD transmits a negative response (PMNACK) to the host and keep the serial interface in the active mode. By denying switching to a power-save mode when data transfer is executed within a short period of time, etc., it is possible to prevent reduction in performance of the data storage device.

摘要： Embodiments of the present invention provide a media drive that is intended for reduction in power consumption required for serial communications to/from a host, and a power saving method thereof. In one embodiment, a HDD includes: a cache; a host interface for transferring, to a host, transfer data read out from the cache; a host interface manager that controls the execution of commands so as to generate a transfer unnecessary period during which a command and transfer data need not be exchanged with the host; and a MPU that brings a serial communication part of the host interface into a power save mode during the transfer unnecessary period. The host interface manager determines the optimum data transfer timing of transferring data from the cache to the host on the basis of a transfer rate at which data is transferred to the host, and a read rate at which data is read out from a disk into the cache.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention improve power management in a data storage device which executes serial data communication with a host. In one embodiment, a HDD executes a reset process from a sleep mode (clock inactive) as being triggered by a control signal that is not based on a clock from the host. Even during a period in which the system clock is suspended, the HDD is able to receive the control signal from the host. In responding to the control signal and by activating a circuit required for serial data transmission, the HDD is enabled to receive a software reset command from the host via a serial data transmission circuit. With such an arrangement, the HDD can receive the software reset command from the host, and in responding to the reception of the command, the HDD can be reset to the normal active mode.

摘要： In a novel method for controlling a disk apparatus having an interface, command storage, and data storage, one or more commands are received from an external apparatus via the interface, and the one or more commands are held in the command storage. A command to be next executed is selected from among the one or more commands and dispatched for execution. It is determined whether an error relating to accessing the data storage has arisen during execution of the selected command. If so, the selected command is restored to the command storage. A subsequent command to be next executed may then be selected. In one described embodiment, an estimated seek time for the selected command is determined, and it is judged that an error has arisen if actual seek time of the selected command exceeds the estimated seek time.
