ABSTRACT:
A fingerprint detector that uses a skin resistance sensing array for producing a sample trajectory signal when a fingertip is moved across the sensing array surface. The sample trajectory signal represents the electrical conductance changes in the resistance of ridges and valleys of the fingertip. The fingerprint detector also includes a sampling circuit coupled to a processor. In addition, a technique is disclosed for detecting and verifying a fingerprint by moving a fingertip relative to the skin resistance sensing array. The sample trajectory signal produced is translated into a digital signal by the sampling circuit. The processor receives the digital sample trajectory signal for comparison with a known reference trajectory signal. The processor produces a verification signal if a threshold probability that the same fingertip generated both signals is exceeded. The reference trajectory signal is stored in a memory integrated into the device, or is provided from an external storage device through a data interface.
