1-15. (canceled)
A method implemented by an apparatus, the method comprising:
- illuminating, by the apparatus, a portion of skin of a user;
- detecting, by the apparatus, light scattered by the illuminated portion of skin and using the detected light to identify locations of biometric features within the illuminated portion of skin;
- and
- configuring, by the apparatus, a light source to selectively illuminate identified locations of biometric features.
An apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry;
- and
- memory circuitry including computer program code;
- the memory circuitry and the computer program code configured to, with the processing circuitry, cause the apparatus at least to perform;
- illuminating a portion of skin of a user;
- detecting light scattered by the illuminated portion of skin and using the detected light to identify locations of biometric features within the illuminated portion of skin;
- and
- configuring a light source to selectively illuminate identified locations of biometric features.
A computer program comprising computer program instructions that, when executed by processing circuitry, enable controlling an apparatus to:
- illuminate a portion of skin of a user;
- detect light scattered by the illuminated portion of skin and using the detected light to identify locations of biometric features within the illuminated portion of skin;
- and
- configure a light source to selectively illuminate identified locations of biometric features.
