Definitions

  • the present invention belongs to the technical field of biometrics. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fingerprint reader device whose ergonomic design facilitates the capture of biometric data for the identification of people.

  • the device described in US8569875 comprises a fingerprint sensor that operates by injecting a small electrical current into the fingers.
  • the sensor is surrounded by a bezel or conductive frame ("bezel"), which constitutes a flat contact surface for the user's finger which, when the user places or moves the finger on the sensor capture area , is able to make physical and electrical contact with the finger to allow the operation of the sensor on its fingerprint.
  • bezel conductive frame
  • the freedom of movement in the placement of the finger on the sensor can lead to the user placing it in a way (for example, with the pointed finger) in which the area is not being contacted anymore optimal finger in which the greatest number of minutiae for capture is found (ie, fingertip).
  • the capture technology of the biometric sensors requires a conductive electrical contact point in an area outside the sensor capture area, which typically resolves with the conductive structure arranged all around the sensor. This solution implies that the fingers of the individuals when interacting with the sensor must always be very flat and have sufficient size to make contact with the frame.
  • the objective technical problem that arises here is to provide a device for reading removable biometric data from fingerprints that gives a correct reading for all finger sizes and prevents incorrect placement of the same in the process of capturing the fingerprints. footprints.
  • the present invention serves to solve the aforementioned problem, solving the drawbacks presented by the solutions mentioned in the prior art, providing an ergonomic device for reading fingerprints that has a conductive part or structure that, while in the existing devices, the fingerprint sensor surrounds perimeter, in the reader that is proposed here it is arranged at one end of the device, just by the area through which the user takes it as a clamp and, thus, unequivocally the conductive structure touches a part of the hand that, together with the placement of the fingers in the reading area of the sensor, results in the guarantee of the indispensable contact for a correct functioning of the reader.
  • One aspect of the invention relates to a fingerprint reader device, which comprises the following means:
  • An ergonomic housing that has a grip end for a user to grab the reading device with his hand in the form of a clamp.
  • This housing comprises the capture area of the biometric sensor used for reading fingerprints, associated with a conductive contact structure.

  • a conductive contact structure as indicated above, which operates in association with the biometric sensor, but is not configured as a frame surrounding the sensor, but is arranged at the grip end at a distance from the capture area of the sensor such that at least one of the fingers that reach the capture area of the sensor also contacts this contact structure.
  • the present invention has an ergonomic housing that improves the optimal positioning of the fingertips on the capture area of the biometric sensor by maximizing the number of minutiae and making the relative position between sensor surface and fingerprints in the capture more repeatable and , therefore, reducing intra-class variations between catches of the same individual.
