Fingerprint Identification for Enhanced User Interface and for Secure Internet Services

摘要

This paper discusses an application of finger- print identification technology to enhanced human-machine inter- action, and also to information systems, specifically to a mobile authentication terminal for secure networked services and to dig- ital appliances. A "Fingerprint User Interface (FpUI),"exploits information regarding not only who put a finger on its sensor but which specific finger it was. With this user-friendly interface, a user can assign commands, data objects, status, or personalized settings to individual fingers.
