Abstract
The imaging apparatus for recognizing an image of the present invention determines for recognition a user by imaging a recognition pattern of a palm or a finger. The imaging apparatus for recognizing an image comprising a palm guide unit for guiding an imaging area of a palm, a finger guide unit for guiding an imaging area of a finger, and an imaging unit for imaging biometric data of the imaging areas of the palm and finger.
Claims12
An imaging apparatus for recognizing an image comprising:
- a palm guide unit for guiding a palm to an imaging area of the palm;
- a finger guide unit for guiding a finger to an imaging area of the finger;
- and
- an imaging unit for imaging biometric data of said imaging area of the palm and the finger;
- wherein said imaging area of a finger is located between said imaging unit and said imaging area of the palm.
A method for recognizing an image comprising:
- (a) imaging an imaging area of palm, said imaging area of palm guided by an palm guide unit;
- (b) matching the imaged palm data against stored palm data in a storing unit;
- (c) imaging an imaging area of finger, said imaging area of finger guided by a finger guide unit and located between an imaging unit and said imaging area of palm;
- (d) matching the imaged finger data against stored finger data in said storing unit;
- and
- (e) authenticating a user based on matched results of step(b) and/or step(d).
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium embodying a program, said program causing an apparatus to perform a method, said method comprising:
- (a) imaging an imaging area of palm, said imaging area of palm guided by a palm guide unit;
- (b) matching the imaged palm data against stored palm data in storing unit;
- (c) imaging an imaging area of finger, said imaging area of finger guided by an finger guide unit and located between an imaging unit and said imaging area of palm;
- (d) matching the imaged finger data against stored finger data in storing unit;
- and
- (e) authenticating a user based on the matched results.
