Method and device for irradiating light for photographing iris

Abstract

A method and device for controlling an irradiating light for photographing an iris is provided. The device includes a light source configured to generate light, an active lens configured to adjust a refractive index of light passing through the active lens, an image capturer configured to capture an image of the iris by using a camera, and a controller configured to control the active lens to change the refractive index of the light passing through the active lens based on distance, motion and ambient light levels.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
