  • Household appliance with fingerprint sensor
    Patent number: 8854179
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a household appliance (10) such as an oven, a refrigerator, or a washing machine. The household appliance comprises a transparent casing element (12) and a fingerprint sensor (20) mounted to the inside of an exterior surface of said casing element (12). The sensor comprises a light source (21; 21?; 21?; 21??) emitting light for which said casing element (12) is transparent, a detector (23; 23?; 23??) for detecting reflected light emitted from said light source (21; 21?; 21?; 21??) and a light guiding means (22; 22?; 22?; 22??; 22b??) for guiding emitted light from said light source (21; 21?; 21?; 21??) towards the casing element (12) and guiding light reflected at the exterior surface of the casing element (12) to the detector (23; 23?; 23??). Thereby detection of a fingerprint image through said casing element (12) is rendered possible.
