JPH06309448A - Method for picking up personal image by utilizing optical part of personal identification device utilizing retina, fingerprints or personal feature - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a system having high security by providing a person identify ing optical part with an optical part for picking up a personal image, thereby picking up the both of personal identification image and a personal image, CONSTITUTION:A personal feature image put on a prism (d) is reflected by a mirror (c) and picked up by a CCD camera (a) through a lens (b). On the other hand, the mirror (c) is rotated and a personal image (h) is reflected by a mirror (f) through a lens (g) and picked up by the camera (a) through the lens (b). These images are sent to a CPU, which simultaneously executes the analysis of a personal feature and the display of the personal image on a monitor television(TV). If necessary, those images are recorded by a video tape recorder(VTR). Thus, an electric lock can be unlocked by the personal feature image and the person can be checked. The images can be also stored in the VTR. Consequently, the system having high security can be obtained.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is to provide a personal identification device with higher security than conventional products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The optical section of a conventional personal identification device is dedicated to capturing an individual identification image.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to improve a conventional personal identification device for capturing a human image.

[0004]

An optical unit for picking up a person image is provided in a conventional optical unit for identifying a person, a mirror unit and a lens unit are added, and a mirror or a lens unit is provided so that either image can enter the CCD unit. Move the lens and CCD to capture images.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIGS. 1 to 3 are views of an embodiment of the device of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, a CCD camera a takes a lens b through a lens b, reflects the reflected light on a mirror c, and picks up a characteristic image of the person on a prism d, and the mirror f is rotated by a mirror f through a lens g as shown by c '. This is a method capable of capturing the person image h.

FIG. 2 shows a method in which a person image can be taken by moving the mirror c to the position c '.

FIG. 3 shows a CCD camera a and a lens b as a ',
This is a method in which a person image can be captured by rotating it to the position of b '.

FIG. 4 shows an example of a system using these image pickup units.

At the same time when the driving device of i for switching between the characteristic image of the person and the person image by the mirror and lens of b, the CCD camera of a captures the image and sends the image to the CPU unit of l to analyze the characteristic of the person. You can check the person's image on the m monitor TV and record it on the n videotape recorder if necessary.

It is also possible to talk with the intercoms of j and k.

If it is confirmed that the CPU unit 1 is the user himself, the CPU unit sends a signal to the electric lock o to unlock it.

By adopting the method described above, it becomes possible to pick up a person image even though only a person's characteristic image can be picked up until now, and a person can be confirmed at the same time as unlocking with the person's characteristic image. In addition, it was possible to store it in the VTR and to make a system with high security.

Claims (1)

[Claims] 1. By moving a mirror, an imaging lens, or a CCD camera unit in the optical unit of the personal identification device, it is possible to capture both the personal identification image and the person image, and unlock the door and identify the person. By checking the confirmation on the monitor TV or storing it in a VTR or the like, a system with higher security can be obtained.
