  • Patent number: 8892272
    Abstract: A vehicle thumbprint door-lock and ignition access system is a fingerprint recognition system used in conjunction with automobile locks and automatic door openers. A thumbprint scanner compares a thumbprint with a stored database of thumbprints for a match. When a match is found, the vehicle door unlocks and is automatically opened to the fully opened position where it returns to manual operation. A second scanner, the ignition thumb-pad, then searches for an image match of the entered thumbprint on the ignition thumb-pad for a match and starts the engine if found. The ignition thumb-pad has a master-door-opener-interface with a five button keypad for automatically opening any combination of doors on the car, or all may be opened simultaneously. A key fob with five buttons is able to remotely access the master-door-opener-interface for door opening operation.
