Potential applications of this technology:
- Security systems
- Access control
- Biometric authentication
Problems solved by this technology:
- Unauthorized access
- Identity theft
- Security breaches
Benefits of this technology:
- Enhanced security
- Accurate identification
- User-friendly authentication process
Original Abstract Submitted
An identifying device includes a light source, an image sensor, a memory that stores biometric data indicating a feature of a body of a user, and a processor. The processor causes the light source to emit pulsed light having a pulse duration of more than or equal to 0.2 ns and less than or equal to 1 μs to illuminate the user with the pulsed light, causes the image sensor to detect at least part of reflected pulsed light that returns from the user and to output a signal corresponding to two-dimensional distribution of an intensity of the at least part of the reflected pulsed light, and verifies the signal against the biometric data to identify the user.
