CONTACTLESS DEVICE FOR CAPTURING A BIOMETRIC PRINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240013567 titled 'CONTACTLESS DEVICE FOR CAPTURING A BIOMETRIC PRINT
Simplified Explanation
The invention is a contactless device for capturing a biometric print. It consists of a user region and an electronic compartment. The user region is designed to receive a hand portion of a user based on an orientation vector. The electronic compartment includes lighting means and an image-acquiring device. The image-acquiring device is oriented along an optical axis, making a first angle with the orientation vector. The lighting means includes a light source oriented along a lighting axis, such that the projection of the lighting axis in the plane defined by the orientation vector and the optical axis makes a second angle with the orientation vector. The first angle is smaller than or equal to eighty degrees, and the second angle is also smaller than or equal to eighty degrees.
- Contactless device for capturing a biometric print
- User region for receiving a hand portion of a user based on an orientation vector
- Electronic compartment with lighting means and an image-acquiring device
- Image-acquiring device oriented along an optical axis, making a first angle with the orientation vector
- Lighting means includes a light source oriented along a lighting axis
- Projection of the lighting axis in the plane defined by the orientation vector and the optical axis makes a second angle with the orientation vector
- First angle and second angle are both smaller than or equal to eighty degrees
Potential applications of this technology:
- Biometric identification and authentication systems
- Access control systems
- Security systems
- Biometric attendance systems
Problems solved by this technology:
- Contactless capture of biometric prints eliminates the need for physical contact, reducing the risk of contamination and improving hygiene.
- The device can accurately capture biometric prints without requiring the user to place their hand in a specific position or orientation.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience by eliminating the need for physical contact
- Enhanced security and accuracy in biometric identification and authentication
