Abstract: A fingerprint lock system includes a key device and a lock device. The key device includes a communication and power transmitting module, a fingerprint sensing module, and a battery. The fingerprint sensing module senses a fingerprint input and accordingly generates fingerprint data. The communication and power transmitting module outputs the fingerprint data and a supplying power. The lock device includes a communication and power receiving module, a storage module, and a processing module. The communication and power receiving module receives the fingerprint data and the supplying power from the key device to supply the storage module and the processing module with the supplying power. The storage module stores verification data. Each verification data includes minutiae features corresponding to a fingerprint. The processing module verifies if the fingerprint data has the minutiae features corresponding to the fingerprint and, if so, performs an unlock operation.

Abstract: A novel control system for image input device, especially fingerprint image input device, is disclosed. The control system comprises a fingerprint image input device selection module, an instruction conversion module and a fingerprint image size determination module. The fingerprint image input device selection module selects a particular fingerprint image input device from a variety of fingerprint image input devices. The instruction conversion module generates, upon an image capture instruction or a match instruction from a fingerprint verification software, particular image capture instructions to a the selected fingerprint image input device, wherein the instruction pertains to a specification of image as selected by a user or determined with a particular method. The fingerprint image size determination module determines the specification, including the resolution and the size of fingerprint image to be captured.
