AUTHORIZATION OF A FINANCIAL TRANSACTION

摘要

An iris biometric recognition module includes technology for capturing images of an iris of an eye of a person, whether the person is moving or stationary. The iris biometric recognition technology can perform an iris matching procedure for, e.g., authentication or identity purposes, by comparing a digital iris image to a reference iris image and, if at least a portion of the digital and reference iris images match, authenticating a person as authorized to conduct a financial transaction.

主权项

1. A biometric access control device comprising:
a camera having a field of view; an illuminator device comprising one or more illuminators that emit light into the field of view; a client device enabled to authenticate a person to access a financial software and execute a financial transaction; an input device; memory storing program instructions; and a processor communicatively coupled to the illuminator device, the camera, the client device, the input device, and the memory, and further communicatively coupled to a database storing a reference iris image for a user validated to access the financial software, the processor executing the program instructions to:
receive an input signal from the input device;determine that the input signal comprises a permission to scan an iris of a person in proximity to the client device;align the camera with the iris of the person;send a first control signal to the illuminator device, the first control signal activating a synchronous emission of light by the one or more illuminators at a pulse frequency above continuous wave eye safe limits;send a second control signal to the camera, the second control signal activating a capture of a plurality of digital images by the camera, the capture being synchronous with the synchronous emission of light;receive the plurality of digital images from the camera;access the database and retrieve the reference iris image;determine that a first digital image of the plurality of digital images matches the reference iris image;authenticate the person as authorized to execute the financial transaction; andexecute the financial transaction.
