US 2020/0026237 A1 · FINGERPRINT AUTHENTICATION DURING HOLOGRAPHIC OBJECT DISPLAY

Abstract

A display apparatus including a display; a holographic projector a fingerprint scanner to read a fingerprint from a user's finger spaced from the fingerprint scanner when placed in proximity to the holographic object; a camera to image the holographic object and the user's finger; a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and a processor that executes the instructions to: responsive to the receipt of images from the camera, perform image analysis to: identify a position of the user's finger with respect to the display surface and the holographic object, identify a position of the holographic object with respect to the display surface and identify the proximity of the user's finger with the holographic object; and responsive to the image analysis to identify the proximity of the user's finger with the holographic object, provide an input to the fingerprint scanner to read the fingerprint of the user's finger.

Dependent claims

A display apparatus for fingerprint authentication during holographic object display comprising:

a display having a display surface;
a holographic projector to display a holographic object above and spaced from the display surface;
a fingerprint scanner to read a fingerprint from a user's finger spaced from the fingerprint scanner when placed in proximity to the holographic object;
a camera to image the holographic object and the user's finger;
a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions;
and
a processor that executes the instructions to:
responsive to the receipt of images from the camera, perform image analysis to:
identify a position of the user's finger with respect to the display surface and the holographic object, identify a position of the holographic object with respect to the display surface and identify the proximity of the user's finger with the holographic object;
and
responsive to the image analysis to identify the proximity of the user's finger with the holographic object, provide an input to the fingerprint scanner to read the fingerprint of the user's finger.

A computer program product for fingerprint authentication during holographic object display, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

displaying by a holographic projector a holographic object above and spaced from a display surface of a display;
reading by a fingerprint scanner a fingerprint from a user's finger spaced from the fingerprint scanner when placed in proximity to the holographic object;
performing by a camera an image analysis identifying:
a position of the user's finger with respect to the display surface and the holographic object, a position of the holographic object with respect to the display surface and the proximity of the user's finger with the holographic object;
responsive to identifying by the camera the proximity of the user's finger with the holographic object, providing an input to the fingerprint scanner to read the fingerprint of the user's finger;
and
reading by the fingerprint scanner the fingerprint of the user's finger in proximity with the holographic object.
