  • Publication number: 20140118519
    Abstract: A method for capturing biometric data is provided that includes capturing a user biometric characteristic positioned freely in space in a video with a mobile device while moving the user biometric characteristic in response to at least one instruction. The video includes frames that each includes a user biometric characteristic image. Moreover, the method includes obtaining frames from the video and determining obtained video frames that include an optimally positioned user biometric characteristic image. The optimally positioned user biometric characteristic image is user biometric data usable for generating accurate authentication transaction results to authenticate the user. The method also includes storing the optimally positioned user biometric characteristic image included in a determined video frame in the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 8634599
    Abstract: A method of authentication is provided that includes capturing palm biometric data from an individual, transmitting the biometric data to an authentication system, and generating an authentication biometric template from the captured biometric data with the authentication system. Moreover, the method includes conducting a plurality of verification matching transactions between the authentication biometric template and enrollment biometric templates stored in the authentication system, and between the authentication biometric template and imposter biometric templates stored in the authentication system. Furthermore, the method includes updating a genuine matching score distribution with at least one genuine matching score, updating an imposter matching score distribution with at least one imposter matching score, and calculating a maximum genuine matching score and a minimum imposter matching score.

  • Publication number: 20130347086
    Abstract: 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.
