US Patent:

7386152, Jun 10, 2008

Filed:

Jul 8, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/178066

Inventors:

Robert K. Rowe - Corrales NM, US
Robert M. Harbour - Santa Fe NM, US

Assignee:

Lumidigm, Inc. - Albuquerque NM

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382124, 382115, 340 553, 340 583

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided for biometric sensing. An illumination subsystem provides light at discrete wavelengths to a skin site of an individual. A detection subsystem receives light scattered from the skin site. A computational unit is interfaced with the detection system. The computational unit has instructions for deriving a spatially distributed multispectral image from the received light at the discrete wavelengths. The computational unit also has instructions for comparing the derived multispectral image with a database of multispectral images to identify the individual.

International Classification:

G06K 9/00

US Classification:

382115, 340 553, 340 583, 713186

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided that extend the functionality of electro-optical sensors. A device has a multiple light sources, a light detector, and a processor configured to operate the light sources and the light detector to perform distinct functions. At least one of the distinct functions includes a biometric identification function in which light is propagated from the plurality of light sources through presented material. The propagated light is received with the light detector, with the presented material being identified from the received light. Another of the distinct functions includes a nonidentification function performed with the light sources and the light detector.
