September 13, 2008. Estimated Expiration Date is calculated based on simple USPTO term provisions. It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.Patent References 3581282 3639905 Identity verification method and apparatus Automatic pattern processing system System for checking the authenticity of identification papers Fingerprint-based access control and identification apparatus Installation for changing the position of an upper fastening or deflection point of a safety belt Process and apparatus for positive identification of customers Finger identification Fingerprint sensing device for deriving an electric signal InventorsAssigneeApplicationNo. 244586 filed on 09/13/1988US Classes:382/124, Using a fingerprint235/380, Credit or identification card systems235/382, Permitting access340/5.83, Image (Fingerprint, Face)356/71DOCUMENT PATTERN ANALYSIS OR VERIFICATIONExaminersPrimary: Boudreau, Leo H.Assistant: Mancuso, Joseph Attorney, Agent or FirmForeign Patent References
International ClassG06K 009/00Foreign Application Priority Data1986-05-06 EPAbstractThe arrangement uses a portable data carrier in the form of a plastic card, which has several magnetic tracks for containing data. The stored data can consist of the degree of correlation between a fingerprint of the authorized individual and a stored and selected reference signal image and the code number of this reference signal image. Further, use of a so-called characteristic number is possible. A fingerprint detection terminal with a sensor contains a memory in which the selected reference signal image is stored. The sensor compares the actual fingerprint of an individual to be checked with the corresponding reference signal image identified on the plastic card and stored in the fingerprint detection terminal. The thus determined degree of correlation is, in turn, compared to the degree of correlation stored on the plastic card and, as a function of the result of this comparison, an appropriate decision signal is released. The data are written on the plastic card in such a way, that based on the data alone no unambiguous conclusion concerning the identity of the individual is possible.Other References
