FINGERPRINT INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, FINGERPRINT INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18287679 titled 'FINGERPRINT INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, FINGERPRINT INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY STORAGE MEDIUM

The present invention involves a fingerprint information processing apparatus that acquires partial fingerprint information and attribute information of a person, then generates information indicating the likelihood that the partial fingerprint information is from the same person.

  • Acquisition unit gathers partial fingerprint information and attribute information of individuals.
  • Information generation unit creates data showing the probability that the partial fingerprint information belongs to the same person.
  • The technology aims to match partial fingerprint data to identify individuals accurately.

Potential Applications:

  • Law enforcement agencies for criminal investigations.
  • Border control for security purposes.
  • Access control systems for secure entry.

Problems Solved:

  • Enhances accuracy in identifying individuals based on partial fingerprint information.
  • Improves efficiency in processing fingerprint data.

Benefits:

  • Increased accuracy in identifying individuals.
  • Enhanced security measures.
  • Streamlined processes for fingerprint analysis.

Commercial Applications:

  • Security companies for access control systems.
  • Government agencies for law enforcement purposes.
  • Biometric technology companies for product development.

Prior Art: No information available on prior art related to this specific technology.

Frequently Updated Research: No relevant frequently updated research available at this time.

Questions about Fingerprint Information Processing Apparatus: 1. How does this technology improve upon existing fingerprint identification methods? 2. What are the potential limitations of using partial fingerprint information for identification purposes?


Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention provides a fingerprint information processing apparatus () including an acquisition unit () that acquires a plurality of pieces of partial fingerprint information, and attribute information of a person from whom each of a plurality of pieces of the partial fingerprint information is derived, and an information generation unit () that generates first information indicating a likelihood that a plurality of pieces of the partial fingerprint information are derived from a same person, by using the partial fingerprint information and the attribute information.
