Abstract
The present invention discloses a thin transparent panel that can be built-in or attached to a touchscreen to detect the user's identity once the user touches the screen. It can be utilized with a mobile phone, tablet device, and computer touchscreen. The panel can also be attached to a computer keyboard, mouse, or touchpad to enable quick recognition of the user's identity once the user uses the keyboard, mouse, or touchpad. Generally, the present invention detects the measurements of the hand skeleton and compares these measurements with a database to recognize or confirm the user's identity.
Claims20
A touchscreen that recognizes the identity of a user touching the touchscreen by two fingers of a hand wherein the touchscreen is comprised of;
- a touch panel that detects the distance between the positions of touch of the two fingers;
- a sensing unit that detects the three-dimensional directions and the ratio between the forces exerted by the two fingers on the touch panel;
- a database that associates each unique combination of a distance, and three-dimensional directions and ratio between forces with a unique identity;
- and
- a microprocessor that receives the data of the distance from the touch panel, and the data of the three-dimensional directions and the ratio from the sensing unit to search and retrieve the user's identity form the database.
A method for recognizing the identity of a user touching a surface with at least two fingers of a hand wherein the method comprising;
- detecting the distances and angles between the positions of touch between the at least two fingers and the surface;
- detecting the three-dimensional directions and the ratio between the forces exerted by the at least two fingers on the surface;
- checking a database, that associates each unique combination of a distance, angles, three-dimensional directions, and ratio with a unique identifier, to retrieve the user's identity.
A method for recognizing the identity of a hand skeleton by detecting the distribution pattern of the hand force through at least two fingers of the hand touching a surface, and checking the distribution pattern with a database that associates the distribution pattern with an identifier representing the hand skeleton.
