METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HISTOLOGICAL AND PHYSIOLOGICAL BIOMETRIC OPERATION AND AUTHENTICATION

摘要

The present invention is directed toward a method and device for biometric authentication using a signal transmitter (20), a signal receiver (22), a memory module, and a processing module. The signal transmitter transmits infrared energy (36) toward a user. The infrared energy is partly absorbed and partly reflected by the user's body. The infra red signal receiver collects partly reflected infrared energy (38). The memory module stores the data, and the processing module processes and compares the reflected infrared energy and stored data for use in biometric authentication.
