Fingerprint-based user-friendly interface and pocket-PID for mobileauthentication

摘要

This paper presents an enhanced user interface, “fingerprintuser interface (FpUI)”, that exploits fingerprint identificationtechnology, and discusses its application to information systems,specifically to a mobile authentication terminal for networked servicesand digital appliances. FpUI utilizes information regarding not only whoput a finger on its sensor but which specific finger it was. A user canassign commands, data objects, status, or personalized settings toindividual fingers for user-friendly direct manipulation. A mobileterminal, “pocket-PID”, with fast, accurate fingerprintidentification capability is proposed which features: an easy-to-useFpUI, high security, and secure and usable non-contact communicationcapability which facilitates implementation of networked services basedon biometric user identification
