First embodiment
Figure 1A and 1B are the part side views of the state of fingerprint image inputting device when being used of expression first embodiment of the invention; Figure 1A represents to point 10 and is directed to and fingerprint image sensor 11 and finger presses face 14 state of contact, and Figure 1B represents that fingerprint image sensor 11 is pressed into the state among the dimple 15 of fingerprint image sensor 11 by finger 10.Fig. 2 is the front view of the state that is used of fingerprint image inputting device of expression first embodiment.Fig. 3 A is the constitutional diagram that expression finger presses face 14 is not depressed, and Fig. 3 B is the constitutional diagram that expression finger presses face 14 is depressed.
The fingerprint image inputting device of first embodiment shown in Figure 1A and the 1B comprises: casing 16, and it has the outer panels 13 of the outside surface that constitutes casing 16; Planar shaped fingerprint image sensor 11 has transparent finger presses face 14 on its outside surface; With hinge 12, it is installed in the part of the dimple 15 that forms on the casing 16, and it is with the fixing fingerprint image sensor 11 of the mode utilizing the spring device (not shown) fingerprint image sensor 11 is rotated and can outwards move.The outer panels 13 of finger presses face 14 and casing 16 is set in the plane.
In addition, fingerprint image inputting device also has the stop component (not shown), so that spring part can not make owing to the restoring force of itself fingerprint image sensor 11 from the outside plate 13 extrude, stop component is to constitute like this, promptly when fingerprint image sensor 11 or hinge 12 contact stop component owing to the restoring force of spring members, stop its rotation, be placed in the plane with the outer panels 13 that causes finger presses face 14 and casing 16.The fingerprint image sensor 11 of any kind, comprise the fingerprint image sensor of optical type, fingerprint image sensor of semiconductor type or the like, all can be used as fingerprint image sensor 11, so long as tightly contact under the state of finger presses face 14, can read fingerprint image by the fingerprint of scanning finger 10 at finger 10.
The hinge 12 that is made of the holding components (not shown) is and the spring device one configuration that is used for moving to casing 16 lateral direction fingerprint image sensor 11.Hinge 12 is with the angular turn in about 10 to 50 degree scopes, finger presses face 14 not by the state of finger presses under, the outer panels 13 of finger presses face 14 and casing 16 is in the plane, when the operator contacts finger presses face 14 with his/her finger, when being pressed into it in the dimple 15, fingerprint image sensor 11 is allowed to by the suitable restoring force that provides with spring device, and fingerprint image sensor 11 is allowed to be pressed in the dimple 15.
As shown in Figure 2, according to present embodiment, when the operator imported fingerprint, hinge 12 was in the first articulations digitorum manus place of finger 10, and finger presses face 14 and finger 10 tips are pressed into dimple 15, so just can import fingerprint to point 10 slight bending.
Below, the operation of the fingerprint image inputting device of first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and 2.As shown in Figure 1A and 1B, the operator 10 is placed on his/her finger on the finger presses face 14, and facing to dimple 15 it is pressed down.Fingerprint image sensor 11 is around hinge 12 rotations and be pressed into dimple 15, and stops its motion in a certain location (being the extreme position that fingerprint can rotate).At this moment, because operator's fingerprint tightly contacts finger presses face 14, fingerprint image just is scanned, and fingerprint is accurately read.In addition, the method that employing connects scanning and reads with 11 pairs of fingerprints of fingerprint image sensor when exclusive fingerprint image has been read out, has just obtained the fingerprint of determining, like this, just no longer need to be used for confirming that fingerprint image sensor 11 has gone to the rotation detecting device of certain location.In this embodiment of the present invention, the fingerprint image sensor 11 of employing does not need this class rotation detecting device.
