摘要

A data-processing device (2) picks up image data of a hand captured by a camera (4), detects data for the hand's geometry and compares it with data for the geometry of the hand of the specific person read in or stored previously in a database. A lay-on surface comprises an LCD display screen (8) controlled by the data-processing device to light up its background as it captures data for a hand laid on it.
