Patent number: 9112858Abstract: A method of capturing biometric data is provided that includes activating a security application in a device. The security application is activated by an operator of the device and is configured to cause the device to display an outline image. Moreover, the method includes displaying the outline image in a stationary position on a display of the device, positioning desired biometric data proximate the device such that the desired biometric data appears as a biometric image on the device display, and monitoring the outline and biometric images shown on the device display. Furthermore, the method includes positioning the device and the desired biometric data to better align the outline and biometric images when the outline and biometric images do not align and capturing the desired biometric data from an individual after approximately aligning the outline image with the biometric image.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: DAON HOLDINGS LIMITEDInventors: Tevfik Burak Sahin, Michael Peirce, Nicolas Jacques Jean Sezille, Conor Robert White

Publication number: 20140270403Abstract: A method of host-directed illumination for verifying the validity of biometric data of a user is provided that includes capturing biometric data from a user with an authentication device during authentication and directing illumination of the biometric data from a host authentication system during the capturing operation. Moreover, the method includes comparing illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data against illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation, and determining that the user is a live user when the illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data match the illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2014Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Daon Holdings LimitedInventors: Richard Jay LANGLEY, Michael PEIRCE, Nicolas Jacques Jean SEZILLE

Patent number: 8634599Abstract: A method of authentication is provided that includes capturing palm biometric data from an individual, transmitting the biometric data to an authentication system, and generating an authentication biometric template from the captured biometric data with the authentication system. Moreover, the method includes conducting a plurality of verification matching transactions between the authentication biometric template and enrollment biometric templates stored in the authentication system, and between the authentication biometric template and imposter biometric templates stored in the authentication system. Furthermore, the method includes updating a genuine matching score distribution with at least one genuine matching score, updating an imposter matching score distribution with at least one imposter matching score, and calculating a maximum genuine matching score and a minimum imposter matching score.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Daon Holdings LimitedInventors: Tevfik Burak Sahin, Michael Peirce, Nicolas Jacques Jean Sezille
