Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes an input, a blood-relative list generator, a similar image searcher, and a suspect information generator. The input receives DNA information of a suspect and facial image relating to a plurality of facial images. The blood-relative list generator generates a list of blood relatives who are presumed to be blood relatives of the suspect from a plurality of pieces of DNA information. The similar image searcher calculates degree of similarity between facial images of persons on the blood-relative list and each of the plurality of facial images, and searches for and retrieves a facial image resembling the image of the person on the blood-relative list based on the calculated degree of similarity. The suspect information generation part generates suspect information by associating information relating to the retrieved facial image with information relating to the person on the blood-relative list who resembles the retrieved facial image.
Abstract: Systems for enhanced security using biometric controls are provided. A user may launch an application on a user device and one or more rules or instructions may be executed activating enhanced security functions for the application. As the user interacts with a touch screen display of the device, user input including biometric data may be captured. The biometric data may be compared to pre-stored biometric data of the user. If the biometric data matches the pre-stored data, the system may capture additional user input and biometric data and analyze that data to verify the user. If the biometric data does not match the pre-stored data, functionality and/or accessibility of the application may be modified. The system may continue to capture user input and/or biometric data and if the registered user's data is again recognized, the functionality and/or accessibility may again be modified to provide access to the registered user.

Abstract: A face identification system detects that a user is wearing a facemask, by finding an area on the face image which has no facial recognition facial features, and that area is a continuous area and includes the nose and mouth of the user, being covered by the mask. Responsive to making this detection, the system determines that the user is wearing a facemask and carries out a facemask recognition operation. The facemask recognition operation can include finding some other way to verify the user, or reducing security so that the user can be verified while still wearing the facemask.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a display substrate, a driving method thereof and a display device. The ultrasonic fingerprint sensor includes: a base substrate; a driving structure provided on the base substrate and configured to transmit an ultrasonic signal; a receiving structure provided on the base substrate and configured to receive the ultrasonic signal reflected by a finger, and convert the ultrasonic signal into an electrical signal for determining fingerprint information, the driving structure and the receiving structure are provided in a same plane. Since the driving structure and the receiving structure of the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor of the present disclosure are in a same plane, the driving structure can be closer to the touch body (for example, a finger), which is advantageous for the ultrasonic waves generated by the driving structure to reach the finger to improve the touch accuracy.
