<p>The current document is directed to an ear-scan-based biometrics subsystem that is incorporated into any of a wide variety of processor-controlled devices, including mobile phones. The biometrics subsystem collects touch-point locations, device-orientation-representative angles, and, in certain implementations, additional data during each ear scan and uses the collected information to derive additional data that is stored with the collected data to generate a stored data representation of the ear scan. A first ear scan can be compared to a second ear scan to generate a matching score from weighted scores obtained from the touch-point locations and derived data, device-orientation-representative angles, and additional data within the stored data representations of the first and second ear scans. Ear-scan matching provides a basis for authentication of users and for compiling ear-scan profiles for users.</p> |
