摘要
A method performed by a biometric collection device, including: conveying a waiting signal to a user of the biometric collection device in response to the biometric collection device being waiting for at least one finger to be placed on the biometric collection device; capturing a flat fingerprint or a rolled finger print of the finger; and conveying a result signal to the user in response to the biometric collection device succeeding in or failing in capturing the flat fingerprint or the rolled finger print of the finger, wherein the waiting signal differs from the result signal in at least a length of lighting or a color.
說明書
This is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 15/839,442 filed Dec. 12, 2017, which is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 14/824,238 filed Aug. 12, 2015, now U.S. Pat. No. 9,870,499, the contents of all of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to a biometric collection device and, more particularly, to signals used by such a device.
Portions of human skin include uniquely-contoured friction ridges that are used to identify a particular person. For instance, the friction ridges on a finger are often referred to as a fingerprint while those on a hand can be called a palm print. The friction ridges can be captured as an image and later used as a reference for matching a subsequently-gathered fingerprint or palm print. In the past, the image of the friction ridges could be created by inking a person's hand or palm and then carefully pressing the ink against a paper surface.

The invention claimed is:1. A biometric collection device, comprising:a fingerprint scanner including a fingerprint sensor that generates fingerprint images from both a flat capture and a roll capture; and a first indicator indicating that the fingerprint scanner is set to perform the flat capture and or set to perform the roll capture, wherein during the flat capture, the fingerprint scanner pulses a first light indicating that the fingerprint scanner is presently capturing a fingerprint image, during the rolled capture, the fingerprint scanner pulses a second light indicating that the fingerprint sensor is presently capturing the fingerprint, and a pulse rate of the second light is faster than a pulse rate of the first light. 2. The biometric collection device according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric collection device is configured to capture the fingerprint images for all fingers on both hands of a user, and after capturing the fingerprint images, constantly or solidly illuminate ten green lights. 3. The biometric collection device according to claim 1 , wherein each of one or more second indicators depicts each hand of a user and includes five lights corresponding to five fingers of said each hand. 4. The biometric collection device according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric collection device includes a new person function, the new person function informing the fingerprint scanner that fingerprints for a new person are to be captured. 5. The biometric collection device according to claim 1 , wherein the biometric collection device includes a skip finger function, the skip finger function alerting the fingerprint scanner that one or more fingers will not be scanned. 6. A biometric collection method, comprising:by a fingerprint scanner including a fingerprint sensor, generating fingerprint images from both a flat capture and a roll capture; and by a first indicator, indicating that the fingerprint scanner is set to perform the flat capture and or set to perform the roll capture, wherein during the flat capture, the fingerprint scanner pulses a first light indicating that the fingerprint scanner is presently capturing a fingerprint image, during the rolled capture, the fingerprint scanner pulses a second light indicating that the fingerprint sensor is presently capturing the fingerprint, and a pulse rate of the second light is faster than a pulse rate of the first light. 7. The biometric collection method according to claim 6 , further comprising:capturing the fingerprint images for all fingers on both hands of a user, and after capturing the fingerprint images, constantly or solidly illuminating ten green lights. 8. The biometric collection method according to claim 6 , further comprising:by each of one or more second indicators, depicting each hand of a user and including five lights respectively corresponding to five fingers of said each hand. 9. The biometric collection method according to claim 6 , further comprising:including a new person function, the new person function informing the fingerprint scanner that fingerprints for a new person are to be captured. 10. The biometric collection method according to claim 6 , further comprising:including a skip finger function, the skip finger function alerting the fingerprint scanner that one or more fingers will not be scanned. 11. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in which a program is stored, the program causing a computer including a fingerprint scanner to execute:generating fingerprint images from both a flat capture and a roll capture; and indicating, by a first indicator, that the fingerprint scanner is set to perform the flat capture and or set to perform the roll capture, wherein during the flat capture, the fingerprint scanner pulses a first light indicating that the fingerprint scanner is presently capturing a fingerprint image, during the rolled capture, the fingerprint scanner pulses a second light indicating that the fingerprint sensor is presently capturing the fingerprint, and a pulse rate of the second light is faster than a pulse rate of the first light. 12. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program causes the computer to execute:capturing the fingerprint images for all fingers on both hands of a user, and after capturing fingerprint images, constantly or solidly illuminating ten green lights. 13. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program causes the computer to execute, by each of one or more second indicators, depicting each hand of a user and including five lights respectively corresponding to five fingers of said each hand. 14. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program causes the computer to execute including a new person function, the new person function informing the fingerprint scanner that fingerprints for a new person are to be captured. 15. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium according to claim 11 , wherein the program causes the computer to execute including a skip finger function, the skip finger function alerting the fingerprint scanner that one or more fingers will not be scanned.
