  • Biometric collection device
    Patent number: 9870499
    Abstract: A biometric collection device that includes a housing and a fingerprint sensor. The biometric collection device provides signals to a user by activating a first signal when the biometric collection device is ready to capture a fingerprint image from the fingerprint sensor, activates a second signal when the biometric collection device begins capturing the fingerprint image, and activates a third signal when the biometric collection device successfully captures the fingerprint image.
