BIOMETRIC IMAGING DEVICE, BIOMETRIC IMAGING METHOD AND PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18336558 titled 'BIOMETRIC IMAGING DEVICE, BIOMETRIC IMAGING METHOD AND PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: A biometric imaging device is described that includes a placement unit, an imaging unit, and a determining unit. The placement unit supports a biological object, while the imaging unit captures images of the biological object. The determining unit analyzes the images to determine whether or not the biological object is placed on the placement unit. This determination is based on whether or not a feature of the biological object has changed at the point of contact between the placement unit and the biological object.

Patent/Innovation Explanation:

  • Biometric imaging device with placement, imaging, and determining units.
  • Placement unit supports a biological object.
  • Imaging unit captures images of the biological object.
  • Determining unit analyzes images to determine if the biological object is placed on the placement unit.
  • Determination is based on changes in a feature of the biological object at the point of contact with the placement unit.

Potential Applications:

  • Biometric identification systems.
  • Medical diagnostics and monitoring.
  • Security systems.
  • Access control systems.
  • Forensic analysis.

Problems Solved:

  • Ensures accurate placement of biological objects on the imaging device.
  • Reduces the risk of false readings or errors in biometric identification.
  • Provides a reliable method for determining if a biological object is present on the placement unit.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy and reliability in biometric identification.
  • Enhanced security and access control.
  • Efficient and effective medical diagnostics.
  • Streamlined forensic analysis.


Original Abstract Submitted

A biometric imaging device is provided with: placement unit that supports a biological object, imaging unit that takes images of the biological object, and determining unit that determines whether or not the biological object is placed on the placement unit, based on whether or not a feature of the biological object has changed at a place where the placement unit and the biological object are in contact, in the image(s).
