Publication number: 20160300097Abstract: A method of capturing biometric data is provided that includes activating a security application in a device. The security application is activated by an operator of the device and is configured to cause the device to display an outline image. Moreover, the method includes displaying the outline image in a stationary position on a display of the device, positioning desired biometric data proximate the device such that the desired biometric data appears as a biometric image on the device display, and monitoring the outline and biometric images shown on the device display. Furthermore, the method includes positioning the device and the desired biometric data to better align the outline and biometric images when the outline and biometric images do not align and capturing the desired biometric data from an individual after approximately aligning the outline image with the biometric image.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2016Publication date: October 13, 2016Inventors: Tevfik Burak SAHIN, Michael PEIRCE, Nicolas Jacques Jean SEZILLE, Conor Robert WHITE
