    Abstract: The invention relates to a fingerprint sensing device comprising a sensing chip comprising an array of capacitive sensing elements. The sensing device comprises a coating material arranged in a layer on top of the array of sensing elements and comprising a plurality of cavities filled with a dielectric material. The dielectric material comprises reduced graphene oxide. Locations of the cavities correspond to locations of the sensing elements such that a cross-section area of a cavity covers at least a portion of an area of a corresponding sensing element. A dielectric constant of the dielectric material is higher than a dielectric constant of the coating material. The invention also relates to a sensing device where the dielectric coating layer containing reduced graphene oxide comprises trenches corresponding to areas between the sensing pixels filled with a fill material, where the dielectric coating layer has a higher dielectric constant than the fill material.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating an individual fingerprint template by using a remote dataset, comprising the steps of capturing a fingerprint representation by a fingerprint reader on a device, extracting significant data from the captured fingerprint representation, thereby creating an individual fingerprint template for the captured fingerprint representation, transmitting the individual fingerprint template from the device to a remote dataset comprising a plurality of fingerprint templates, determining an impostor score distribution for the individual fingerprint template, determining a security threshold for the individual fingerprint template, and transmitting the determined security threshold to the device. The advantage of the invention is that an individual security threshold can be set for a user, which will improve the FAR distribution of a device.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fingerprint sensing device comprising an array of sensing elements; readout circuitry connected to the array of sensing elements; and finger detecting circuitry for detecting if a finger candidate is touching the sensing surface of the fingerprint sensing device. The fingerprint sensing device is controllable between an active state and an inactive state. When the fingerprint sensing device is in the inactive state, the finger detecting circuitry is configured to provide a finger lost signal for indicating when the finger candidate no longer touches the sensing surface of the fingerprint sensing device.
