System, method and apparatus for sensing biometric information

摘要

An apparatus, method and system are provided for sensing at least one biometric measure of an individual. A low voltage pulsed electrical charge is applied to a transparent electrode plate, which is dimensioned to receive a portion of an individual's dermal surface having molecules associated therewith. The pulsed electrical charge stimulates and excites the molecules and causes molecular compounds to fluoresce. An image of the fluoresced dermal surface is obtained and a biometric function is performed with data derived from the image.

主权项

1. An apparatus for obtaining biometric information from an individual's dermal surface, comprising:
(a) a first device configured to generate an electrical charge, wherein the electrical charge is configured to stimulate molecules in the vicinity of the individual's dermal surface and cause compounds in the stimulated molecules to fluoresce; (b) a second device configured to capture an image of the dermal surface derived from the fluoresced molecular compounds; and (c) a transparent substrate dimensioned to receive the individual's dermal surface, wherein the transparent substrate comprises an electrical conductor disposed in communication with the first device configured to generate an electrical charge.
