USER IDENTIFICATION METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to a method for biometrically identifying users. Said method comprises the following steps: (1) Detecting a biometric data record of the user and the relevant spatial position of the biometric data in relation to a reference position. (2) Storing the biometric data record and the position data pertaining thereto. (3) Reading out the biometric data record and the position data pertaining thereto and to a user identification process which precedes the current user identification process. (4) Comparing the currently detected biometric data and position data pertaining thereto to the preceding read-out biometric data and position data pertaining thereto and refusing identification when the biometric data matches to a predetermined extent and when the position of the matching biometric data corresponds within a fixed range of tolerance. In a preferred embodiment, the biometric data is fingerprint data.
