Abstract
A method includes aligning a transmitter and receiver to transmit signals through a body part of a person and transmitting, by the transmitter and through the body part, analog signals of known transmission signal strengths. The method also includes receiving, by the receiver, the analog signals after the analog signals have passed through the body part, and identifying the received signal strengths of the analog signals at the receiver. The method calculates attenuation values between the transmission signal strengths and the received signal strengths to generate an identity signature based on biometry.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- aligning one or more transmitters and one or more receivers to transmit pulse signals through a body part of a person;
- transmitting, by the one or more transmitters and through different sections of the body part, pulse analog signals, of a known transmission signal strength, from different reference points;
- receiving, by the one or more receivers, the pulse analog signals, transmitted from the different reference points, after the analog signals have passed through the body part, wherein the received analog signal from each of the different reference points passes through one of the different sections of the body part;
- identifying a received signal strength of each of the analog signals at the one or more receivers;
- and
- calculating attenuation values, from each of the different reference points corresponding to the different sections of the body part, between the known transmission signal strengths and the received signal strengths to generate an identity signature,
- wherein at least one of the one or more transmitters or one of the one or more receivers is spaced from the body part.
A system, comprising:
- a pulse signal generating device, including one or more transmitters and one or more receivers, configured to:
- transmit pulse analog signals, of known transmission signal strengths, from different reference points through different sections of a body part of a person, and
- receive the analog signals after the analog signals have passed through the different sections of the body part, wherein the received analog signal from each of the different reference points passes through one of the different sections of the body part;
- wherein at least one of the one or more transmitters or one of the one or more receivers is spaced from the body part;
- and
- a computing device configured to:
- identify the transmitted signal strengths of the analog signals from the one or more transmitters,
- identify the received signal strengths of the analog signals at the one or more receivers, and
- calculate attenuation values, from each of the different reference points corresponding to the different sections of the body part, between the transmitted signal strengths and the received signal strengths to generate an identity signature that corresponds to the sum of the matter of the body part of the person.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing instructions executable by one or more processors, the non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more instructions to:
- provide, to one or more transmitters that transmit pulse analog signals through different sections of a body part, a transmission signal strength value to produce measurable attenuation based on biological cellular material that is in a body part of a person;
- receive, from one or more receivers, received signal strength values of the pulse analog signals, from the one or more transmitters, that have passed through the different sections of the body part, wherein the received analog signal from each of the different reference points passes through one of the different sections of the body part;
- and
- calculate attenuation values between the transmission signal strength value and the received signal strength values to generate an identity signature for the person,
- wherein at least one of the one or more transmitters or one of the one or more receivers is spaced from the body part.
