Abstract: A fingerprint registration and verification device and system for a public amusement ride to prevent unauthorized persons from starting and operating the ride. The device can, with the addition of the required number of power relays, can be used on rides having any operating voltage. The device consists of a control panel, main board with memory which stores the enrolled fingerprints and the optional PIN number, and a finger switch contact. The fingerprint sensor scans and reads an input fingerprint, and sets and deletes a registered fingerprint. The control panel can also be used to input the optional PIN number. The main board stores the registered fingerprints and PIN number and compares the input fingerprint, or PIN number, with the registered fingerprints, or PIN number as applicable to send a signal to the finger switch contact and ride on button.
