摘要:
A method and apparatus are disclosed for detecting (ultrasonically or eletromagnetically) events of the presence and movement of a user within a defined user area, and a user operating zone within the user area, associated with a user device, such as an automatic teller bank machine, and for providing output signals indicative of those events. Transducer transceiver means is utilized with ranging circuit means and distance measuring circuit means. A computer means coupled to the distance measuring circuit means is also utilized to provide the output signals which may be used to control the operation of the user device and effect any corrective measures deemed desirable during its operation.

A transducing device converts to representative electrical signals those force variations which are produced by the act of a person writing a signature. In the device, a signature writing surface is provided, and is part of an arm attached by resilient means to a support member which in turn is secured to a base. A magnetic core is connected to the underside of the signature writing surface and coacts with a plurality of coils mounted on the base to provide a motion transducer which, with associated circuitry, generates an electrical signal which varies in accordance with the varying forces applied to the signature writing surface as a signature is written thereon. Stop rods secured to the base limit the extent of travel in one direction of the signature writing surface.

A method and apparatus are provided for verifying the identity of a person by establishing and storing a standard vector for said person based upon predetermined characteristics derived from a number of handwriting samples, and then comparing said standard with a vector derived from a corresponding sample of handwriting provided by said person at the time the identity of said person is to be verified. Derivation of the vector is accomplished by digitizing an analog waveform representing forces generated by writing, compressing the digitized information, extracting Haar coefficients and directly observable features from the compressed digital information, and deriving a vector from said Haar coefficients and said directly observable features.

An electrical voice print is converted into sampled digital values which are converted into corresponding moment invariants (MI). A comparison of the moment invariant values of a standard phrase uttered by the same person and stored in the storage means against the most recently converted moment invariants determines the degree of correlation. A high degree of correlation is indicative of a voice match.

An electronic copy board system including an electronic copy board. The electronic copy board includes an opaque planar member which provides a support for a transparent sheet upon which image data is written. A guide member houses an elongated light to direct light through a slot in the guide member towards an array of light detectors positioned opposite the elongated light. The transparent sheet is moved between the light guide and the light detectors when the image data on the transparent sheet is to be read. In one embodiment, the transparent sheet is in the form of an endless belt, and in another embodiment, the transparent sheet is in the form of a long strip which is pulled off a supply roll and wound up on a take-up roll during the reading process. The electronic copy board is coupled to a personal computer to facilitate displaying, printing, storing, transmitting, or further processing of the visual data read from the copy board.
