  • Patent number: 9589186
    Abstract: An iris recognition apparatus for recognizing iris in an eyeball is provided. In particular, an iris recognition apparatus including a reflection unit that reflects and transmits an image of an eyeball is provided. The reflection unit reflects and transmits an image of an eyeball. A first image collection unit collects a reflected image. A control unit extracts an iris pattern based on the collected image.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9454698
    Abstract: A terminal for minimizing a gazing phenomenon in an iris recognition terminal is disclosed. The iris recognition terminal may minimize the gazing phenomenon by including an eyeball reflection unit. Also, it is also possible to minimize the gazing phenomenon by displaying a positioner on a display unit. A person who wears glasses may experience specular light on the iris recognition terminal but the terminal of the present disclosure avoids the specular light. The terminal determines the location of the specular light and guides an avoidance location to a user based on the determination, so quick and accurate iris recognition is possible.

  • Patent number: 9213895
    Abstract: Embodiments provide an iris scanning apparatus for identifying a subject, employing a wide-angle image collector, and a method thereof. A wide angle camera is employed in the iris scanning apparatus to allow a user to easily locate a small eye region of a subject without having to check back and forth between an image display and the subject's face. The apparatus and method are also capable of measuring the distance to the subject's eye and displaying the distance information on the image display, and informing the user as to whether the eye of the subject is within operating range of the iris scanning apparatus. Also, iris scanning is automatically performed without the user's input when an eye is positioned within operating range, and is not performed if an image captured by the iris scanning apparatus does not contain an eye region, in order to prevent erroneous operation.
