  • Patent number: 12192635
    Abstract: An iris scanning device includes a first camera that captures an image of a face of a user and a second camera that captures an image of an eye of the user subsequent to the image of the face being captured. The iris scanning device includes a gimbal having a mirror mounted thereon and a facial feature detector that identifies facial features of the user based upon the image of the face. The iris scanning device further includes control circuitry that adjusts an orientation of the gimbal based upon the facial features, where the image of the eye is captured upon the orientation of the gimbal being adjusted, and where the mirror mounted on the gimbal is oriented to cause the image of the eye to be captured. An iris of the eye of the user may be located in a central region of the image of the eye.

  • Publication number: 20240221342
    Abstract: An iris scanning device that includes a single camera sensor utilized for generating iris scan data is described herein. The iris scanning device includes a selector, a lens, and the camera sensor. The selector is configured to receive a first optical signal representative of a first eye and a second optical signal representative of a second eye. The selector selectively allows a passed optical signal to be optically propagated to the lens and inhibits a blocked optical signal from being optically propagated to the lens during a time period. The passed optical signal is one of the first optical signal or the second optical signal during the time period. The blocked optical signal is a differing one of the first optical signal or the second optical signal during the time period. The lens causes the passed optical signal to be incident on the camera sensor during the time period.
