Description

The invention relates to the field of electronic and computer technology and can be used to create a local passenger computer system, as well as civil passport control, identification and diagnosis of the psychophysiological state of the user's personality.

Currently, in connection with the expansion of the activities of world terrorist organizations and individual lone terrorists, more frequent cases of hijacking and hijacking of ships and aircraft, their use for the destruction of civilian and military targets, as well as for mass destruction of the population, there is an urgent need for taking preventive security measures at airports, in seaports and other transport hubs engaged in the carriage of passengers. There was a need to create computer systems equipped with equipment to identify members of extremist and terrorist organizations, as well as other psychopathic personalities who disguise themselves as loyal passengers and use fake documents along with other methods for legal entry into aircraft and ships and other vehicles.

There are known local computer systems used in ports and airports, as well as at border and customs control points, designed for passport control and identification during the sale of travel documents, registration of these documents, customs inspection and passport border control of passengers and are supplemented by visual control of passengers and users competent service staff.

Local computer systems currently have only the functions of automating manual operations for processing travel documents, accompanying accounting documents and passenger registration, which leads to the fact that competent services are often not able to identify well-organized and trained violators and other intruders disguised as loyal citizens who know the features of modern control systems, owning proven techniques for overcoming passport and other controls.

Such well-known local computer systems include the air ticket and passport control system operating at Pulkovo Airport (St. Petersburg), as well as at other airports and seaports, including a central computer and terminal devices for the sale of travel documents with simultaneous registration of passengers together with visual passport control of competent services.

There are other methods and devices for identifying and controlling documents described in periodicals. So, in the article “Artificial fingers deceive scanners”, the Izvestia newspaper No. 6 of May 22, 2002 contains information on how to cheat computer security systems that are used to identify people by fingerprints. To do this, the simulated finger was transferred to a photosensitive film using the usual program Adobe PhotoShop and etched etched on a copper plate, using which they created the shape of a finger, so the finger simulated in this way could deceive biometric scanners.

Known Russian application for a patent of the Russian Federation No. 200101180/09 dated January 11, 2000, “Method and device for user identification”, where the recording of information about the image of at least one fingerprint of the user on an external storage medium is carried out in the form of a visible image of the fingerprint, and the input of information from a live finger and the input of information from an external medium are carried out alternately, installing them in a single device for reading operational information containing an image reading module including an illuminator and nsorno sensitive light sensor, and the external media fingerprint information in the form of a plastic card and an information processing unit.

Known RF patent No. 2178911 “Electronic identification system and method of automatic identification control for it”, RF patent No. 2177645 “Method for controlling documents using the communication capacity between the transmitter and receiver”, RF patent No. 2175777 “Storage medium and device for checking its authenticity” , application for a patent of the Russian Federation No.200100347 / 09 dated 04/06/1999, “Method and device for identifying a voter”, patent of the Russian Federation No. 2175148 “Method for identifying a person’s identity”, application for the grant of a patent of the Russian Federation No. 99126440/09 dated 05/14/1998 and "Enhanced identification system."

All these methods and systems have a common drawback:

- visual unreliable personal control, dependent on the subjective and psychophysiological conditions of employees of competent services;

- limited functionality of existing computer systems that are not able to identify a person against the presented documents for identification and are not able to conduct an express diagnosis of central nervous system disorders and the current psychophysiological state of a person, which means preventing crimes related to forgery of a signature, using fake documents, and substitution of one passenger for another during boarding the vehicle.

Known visual passport control used in banking, customs, border, airport, railway, pension, postal, insurance systems and other systems, but it does not provide the necessary reliability and throughput in transport systems operating with large passenger flows, where at the same time a high degree is required authenticity at control of passengers.

Visual methods and local systems are not effectively used, in which technical means are used that do not take into account the nature of a person and the “mechanisms” of his functioning, to reduce the level of criminal offenses in the areas associated with the use of forged documents, false signatures, especially in credit and financial. The lack of modern computer systems in these areas does not allow creating a unified database of identification standards for citizens (customers, passengers) and developing identification programs for identifying people by the dynamic characteristics of their motor reactions, creating a unified bank of dynamic identifiers for all local systems (banking, customs, passport) , since the systems already used are based on primitive methods of static analysis and identification of a person through visual control Olya and comparisons.

In 1978, the technical solution “Pen for entering handwritten information” was developed (see USSR author's certificates No. 638988 and No. 811307), which was equipped with miniature acceleration sensors, and all this constituted a graphical information input unit and coupled with the M6000 computer passed successful tests , showing the possibility of creating a new class of devices for the dynamic input of graphical information into computers, suitable for use in all those areas where it is necessary to identify a person by his signature and extract information related with the psychophysiological state of a person.

The progress achieved in the field of computer data processing has removed a lot of technical problems related to the implementation of personality identification and state control systems using human motor mechanisms, which are manifested most fully in the process of writing and speech. The motor automatons of the body carry purely individual stable information, based on the underlying physiological processes of the body, which made it possible to create a computer model of an integrated system for identifying people using already known methods and devices: fingerprinting, photobots, iridodiagnosis, acoustic analysis of speech, facial expressions, and devices identifying a person by his motor (motor) reactions, such as, for example, the stereotype of writing, cardiac signals, facial expressions inherent in a particular eloveku. Through training, a person can change the external manifestations of the physiological factors of the personality, for example, try to change the handwriting, slow down or accelerate the heart rhythm, change facial expressions, voice, but at the same time motor dynamic characteristics are not amenable to change by any training and retain complete individuality in the process of functioning of a living organism, which makes them the most informative source of human personality.

The purpose of the proposed method and a computer system based on this method are:

- identification of the passenger or user’s personality by his motor reactions (dynamic standards), manifested in the process of his signature, communication with each other (speech, facial expressions);

- input of handwritten information into personal computers and machine systems in the process of working on a paper document;

- control of the neuropsychophysiological (state of fatigue, stress, paranoia, etc.) of the human operator (nuclear power plants, submarines and other objects of increased danger);

- medical diagnosis of disorders of the central nervous system of a person and his musculoskeletal system;

- selection of personnel in accordance with the requirements of increased mental stability;

- prevention of crimes related to falsification of signatures on financial documents, and the use of fake documents when moving in closed areas and restricted areas;

- tracking the movement of members of terrorist organizations and other intruders at the time of their contacts with administrative, state and other institutions, using air, rail, road and sea transports.

The essence of the proposed method for complex identification of a person’s personality, passport control and diagnosis of the current psychophysiological state of a person is that dynamic information is taken simultaneously from graphic input devices and cardiosensors, video cameras, odor analyzers and speech signals connected to the local computer system via terminals, all stages of interaction with a controlled user, highlight the individual dynamic characteristics of the user, form it dynamic “portrait” at all stages of contact with a computer system and compare the information that arises at the subsequent stages of user interaction with the local transport computer system with the information received during previous contacts with the user and the documents presented by him, identify the person by the results obtained, verify the authenticity of the documents and evaluate its current psychophysiological and functional state.

To implement the proposed method, a local computer system is used, the computer terminals of which are additionally connected with information retrieval systems: optical scanners, fingerprint devices, cardiac pullers, graphic user interaction devices — graphic tablets and pens for handwriting input, video cameras for capturing visual information, removable devices and printing of holographic images, odor analyzers.

11. Holographic printing device,

12. The camcorder.

13. Fingerprint device with a cardiac signal puller.

14. The pressure sensor.

15. Odor analyzer (artificial “nose”).

The method and the system based on this method of complex identity identification of passport control and diagnosis of the current psychophysiological state of an individual includes a central computer (1), a computer terminal for the sale of travel documents (2), a computer terminal for registering passengers (3), a computer terminal for customs control (4) , a computer terminal for border control (5), a computer terminal for control when boarding a vehicle (6), optical reading devices are additionally connected to them a (scanners) (7) for the removal of passport data (signatures and photos) and holographic labels, graphic tablets (8) and / or pens with accelerometers for the removal and input of graphic information (9) in the process of signature execution by a registered passenger, fingerprint devices ( 13), combined with cardiac signal sensors for the simultaneous collection and input of both static (holographic pattern) and dynamic signals (heart pulses), a device for generating and printing holograms (11) for encoding personal identification information, with subsequent application on travel documents; pressure and cardiac sensors (14), odor and voice signal analyzers (15).

The method works as follows.

When buying a ticket, the user presents his identification card to the operator or puts it on the operating table (with a fully automated system), the scanner reads the information from the document and enters a photograph, a graphic image of the signature and a holographic sign, if it is provided on the identification card, from the camera simultaneously the face image and speech signals are entered into the computer. The user, upon receipt of a ticket, makes his signature on a graphic tablet or handwritten pen, combined with acceleration sensors (accelerometers) and a cardiac signal sensor. In the central computer, this information is processed using special programs, as a result of which individual static and dynamic user standards are formed. At the subsequent stages, when the user passes the obligatory registration, customs and border control (for international passenger traffic), the procedure for removing information from the user and identification cards, travel documents is repeated on scanners, holographic information-pickup devices, graphic tablets, or using ink pens. In the central computer, a constant comparison of the primary information obtained during the sale of a ticket to the user is carried out with information recorded during subsequent contacts with the passenger. At the same time, identification of the person is carried out both by static parameters (photos and signatures on the document), and by dynamic indicators of the signature, cardiac signal and facial expressions, make up a complex “portrait” of the passenger and record his current psychophysiological state (stress, intoxication and other significant deviations from the norm) ) Thus, the system automatically identifies potentially dangerous passengers, but the final decision on the adoption of special measures remains with the service responsible for safety.

Based on this method, a computer system for comprehensive personality identification, passport control and diagnosis of the current psychophysiological state of an individual consists of a central computer (1), a computer-based ticket sales terminal (2) connected to it, including an optical scanner (7), a graphic tablet (8), handwriting pen (9), video camera (12), fingerprint device combined with a cardiac puller (13), odor analyzer (14); a passenger registration computer terminal (3), including an optical scanner (7), a graphic tablet (8), a handwriting pen (9), a video camera (12) and a fingerprint device combined with a cardiac puller (13), an odor analyzer (14); a customs control computer terminal (4), including an optical scanner (7), a video camera and an odor analyzer; a border control computer terminal (5) including an optical scanner (7), a fingerprint device combined with a cardiac puller (13), a video camera (12), a graphic tablet (8) and / or a handwriting pen (9), an odor analyzer, and a computer control terminal when boarding a vehicle, including an optical scanner (7), a video camera (12), a fingerprint device combined with a cardiac puller (13), and an odor analyzer (14). The necessary set of devices connected to a particular terminal is determined in each specific case, taking into account the requirements for the degree of reliability of information and the operating conditions of the local system as a whole.

The proposed system operates as follows: when purchasing a ticket, a passenger presents an identity card (for example, a passport). The operator puts the identification card (passport) on the optical scanner and enters the photo and graphic image of the signature into the computer, and, if available, the holographic label. Upon receipt of a issued travel ticket, the passenger signs on a graphic tablet or with a handwriting pen on an account form. In the travel document in coded form, individual information about the passenger is applied in the amount necessary for further control. When a travel document is issued, the dynamic signature standard and dynamic “portrait” of the passenger, containing individual information about him, suitable for further identification of the person and assessment of his psychophysiological state, is formed in the memory of the central computer simultaneously with the input of working information. At the next, mandatory stage, when the passenger passes the registration, the information is removed from the identity card (passport) and the signature on the graphic tablet is repeated again, and the central computer compares the previously received primary information that was withdrawn when the ticket was sold and re-entered during registration. At the same time, they immediately identify the substitution of an identity card (passport), the replacement of a photograph, the replacement of a signature or its unreliability, and also simultaneously verify the authenticity of the documents presented and recorded earlier when buying a ticket. When registering a passenger, his / her identity is identified not only by static parameters (photo, signature on the certificate, “pattern” on the finger), but also by the dynamic parameters of the passenger, obtained in the process of taking information from a graphic tablet, from a fingerprint device combined with a cardiac puller , or from a cardiosignal sensor combined with a handwriting pen, as well as information received from a video camera that allows you to capture facial expressions, temperature distribution around the eyes, m sculpt passenger at the time of the dialogue with the operator, which allows you to create psycho-physiological "portrait" of the passenger and to assess its current state (stress, alcohol or drugs, disease state, etc.).

Thus, a group of passengers with potentially unpredictable behavior is distinguished, appropriate control over passengers on board the ship or vehicle is established, and, if necessary, preventive measures are taken to prevent a possible incident.

The control, over the entire volume of previously obtained information, is repeated according to the same algorithm directly when a passenger is boarding a vehicle, which completely excludes an uncontrolled period of time within which undesirable events can occur, for example, substitution of a passenger or his documents with others.

Thus, in the proposed method and system of complex identification of a person’s personality and passport control, a number of advantages are realized inherent in the stability of the dynamic stereotype of a particular person’s letters, the characteristics of his cardiac activity, facial expressions and individual reactions in the process of dialogue with operators based on deep motor machines of human functioning organisms genetically determined for each individual.

Typical software products (for example, OCR Text Recognition, v4, 17 (c), G-Data W9X / NT / 2000) can be used as basic programs for recognizing signatures entered using a scanner and pen.

The application for the implementation of an integrated method of taking and entering information from sensors and devices that take information of various manifestations of the body with the input of this information into personal computers allows us to design systems of complex identification of a person by the dynamic stereotype of a letter and cardiac signal, as well as by other dynamic signals received from a person that allows you to create universal computer systems and establish reliable passport and individual control at all enterprises engaged in work th with large streams of people, and most importantly, to protect the population against possible terrorist attacks.

For serial production of computer systems based on this method, a small specialized production with an initial investment of $ 50 thousand is required.
