SECURE PUPIL RESPONSE TESTING

摘要

In a system for carrying out pupil response testing, an individual who is to be tested is provided with a portable programmable device, for example, a smartcard carrying data representing personal information, for example, the age and gender of the holder. An interface device comprises means for reading the said data from the programmable device, such as a smartcard reader, and test means including a camera for carrying out pupil response testing. Control means process the results from the pupil response test in dependence on the data read from the programmable device by the interface device. Preferably, the smartcard or other programmable device also carries biometric data identifying the individual to whom the programmable device has been issued and the interface device is operable to read the biometric data from the smartcard and verifying that the holder is the individual to whom the smartcard has been issued. The camera which forms part of the pupil response testing means is used to perform the biometric scan, for example, an iris scan, of the holder for verification purposes.
