APPENDIX BFingerprint Recognition SystemYour system features a fingerprint recognition system designed forcomputer security. It provides a high level of user convenience and givesyou a set of powerful tools for securing your computer and protectingyour private data. The system can:• display fingerprint images derived from the sensor IC• enroll new users• extract fingerprint templates from raw images, and store them in alocal database• match live-scan fingerprints against the local database
B-2 Fingerprint Recognition SystemFinger PlacementWhen placing a finger to be enrolled or identified, slide the cover toexpose the sensor matrix surface, then use a light, but firm and steadypressure.Avoid moving your finger during the scan, and be sure that you aremaking contact with the “sensor matrix” and with the surrounding drivering (the light-colored surface surrounding the matrix). The system worksbest when it has a “core” image (the center of your fingerprint, which isapproximately opposite the line of the cuticle of your fingernail).Drive ringSensormatrix
Fingerprint Recognition System B-3Using the Fingerprint Recognition SystemUtilityNOTE: To take advantage of the fingerprint recognition system, the driver and utilitysupplied with your computer must be installed (see chapter 6 for details).Double-click on the icon located on your Windows’ system tray. Themain menu appears.The following program options are available:• Enroll – allows the sensor IC to acquire fingerprint images, process itinto the essential template data, and then insert it into the databasetogether with an associated User ID and other optional information.• Identify – is used to compare the finger presented to the sensoragainst all of the other fingerprints currently entered in the database(known as one-to-many search).• Validate ID – is used to perform a one-to-one verification toascertain if the person whose finger is placed on the sensor is in factthe same as the person enrolled under a particular User ID.• Data Capture – a viewing facility that is used to display (or capture)a continuous series of real-time images of a fingerprint.• Database – is used to review, delete, and otherwise manage thecontents of the database.NOTE: For an online Help information on using the application, click on “Help” locatedon the menu bar, then “Aware User’s Guide.”A Readme.txt file is also located on your driver CD for late-breaking news, knownbugs, work-arounds, and other additions, deletions, or discrepancies in the applicationprogram.
