The matching algorithm unit 260 acquires user data stored in the biometric information data storage 270 and determines whether the biometric information data stored in the biometric information data storage 270 matches the user biometric information value acquired by the digital converting unit 290. If they match, the display unit 280 can output a success message. If the decryption is unsuccessful, the authentication failure message may be output to the display unit 280.

The control unit 210 controls operations and functions of the authentication device 200a.

Particularly the finger vein image acquisition, processing, authentication calculation, and authentication result. Various software can be used in relation to the processing and calculation of acquired finger vein images.

For example, a Canny edge detector algorithm can be used. By applying a Gaussian filter, the noise of the original image can be removed as a whole. Edge the image through the Image Gradient. That is, a sketch line of the image is extracted. Apply non-maximum suppression to thin edges (sketch lines), apply double thresholds to classify dark edges as solid edges, and faint edges as noise and classify them as weak edges . Finally, the weak edges are deleted, only the definite edges are left, and finally the coronal images of the veins are output.

As shown in FIG. 12, the authentication process embodiment of the authentication apparatus of the present invention will be summarized as follows based on the above detailed description.

First, the person to be authenticated places his / her finger in the object accommodating portion of the authentication device in the waiting state. At this time, the authentication method is a method of photographing the bottom and / or side of the fingerprint surface and the finger vein of one finger.

That is, S200 and S210 are performed on the fingerprint surface of one finger, and then S200 and S210 are performed on the side surface of the same finger. The captured finger vein fingerprint images are converted into digital images.

In step S215, the male and female customer information is registered in the male and female identification processor 265 while registering "1" for male and "2" for female at the time of registration.

If the customer information is registered in the customer client or the merchant client and the procedure for determining the same is made, the probability of false recognition of the present invention can be reduced to 1/2.

The customer information may include customer information such as a name, a man and a woman, an authorized mobile phone number, a contact, a secret number, and the like, which are input when a customer client activates the fingerprint and / Number, email address, and the like.

Next, the control unit extracts the photographed fingerprint and the finger vein image (S220). At this time, the finger fingerprint extracted from the finger fingerprint image and the two corrugations are extracted as shown in Figs. 11 And can be processed as an edge image of the vein using the above-described Canny edge detection algorithm.

In step S225, the male and female customer information registered in the male and female identification processor 265 is divided into "1" for male and "2" for female to discriminate the information.

Then, the biometric data of the user stored in the biometric information data storage is compared with the fingerprint of the image-processed finger obtained "now" and the finger vein image to determine success of fingerprint authentication and finger vein authentication in case of a match, It is judged as a failure.

The authentication result is displayed through the display unit. It may be a result accompanied by a voice.

The following describes how to shoot two fingers.

At this time, the authentication method is a method of photographing the lower finger and / or the side of the fingerprint surface of the two fingers and the finger vein.

In the embodiment in which two fingers are used for authentication, infrared imaging (S200), finger vein fingerprinting (S210) on the fingerprint surface and the lower or side of the two fingers are alternately performed 2 to 3 times do.

That is, S200 and S210 are performed on the fingerprint surface of the two fingers, and then S200 and S210 are performed on the side surface of the same finger. The captured finger vein fingerprint images are converted into digital images.

Here, either the bottom or the side may be omitted depending on the design.

Next, the control unit extracts the photographed fingerprint and the finger vein image (S220). At this time, the finger fingerprint extracted from the finger fingerprint image and the two corrugations are extracted as shown in Figs. 11 And can be processed as an edge image of the vein using the above-described Canny edge detection algorithm.

Then, the biometric data of the user stored in the biometric information data storage is compared with the fingerprint of the image-processed finger obtained "now" and the finger vein image to determine success of fingerprint authentication and finger vein authentication in case of a match, It is judged as a failure.

The authentication result is displayed through the display unit. It may be a result accompanied by a voice.

Furthermore, in the case of providing an electronic payment system and method for discriminating between men and women in order to reduce the probability of misrecognition like the present invention, the probability of error is reduced to half, and data for storing the information If the bass is also stored separately, the simplicity of the capacity and the speed of the speed will also multiply.

In the case of a finger vein, the probability of error is more than 100 million, and when it is combined, it can not be compared with the number of the earth population, and consequently it can be concluded that there can not be two identical fingerprints in reality.

When a fingerprint is scanned and compared with a previously stored image, if there is a person of the same fingerprint image, the registered authentication code of the person is output to the serial communication (here, 232 communication is applied as an embodiment).

Here, 232 communication is a serial communication standard.

Next, the finger vein module U3 will be described.

VCC line 4 is a + (positive) voltage reference of the power supply circuit and functions as a + 5V voltage input. After transmitting a finger through an infrared LED, a vein is scanned by a camera image sensor and compared with a vein image stored in advance. When there is a person with the same image, the registered authentication code of the person is used for serial communication (herein, 485 communication is applied as an embodiment) .

The RO 8 line is a serial 232 communication transmission port, and functions to transmit a command. It is linked with the integration module U1.

Next, the fingerprint and fingerprint input and USB output integration module U1 will be described.

The D1 / TX1 line of the integration module U1 is a serial 232 communication transmission port and functions as a data transmission function to a computer. The D0 / RX2 line is a serial 232 communication reception port. , GND line 4 is the ground of 0V as a voltage reference and D2 line 5 is the serial 232 communication transmission line of the fingerprint module (U2). It sends the command to the fingerprint module and D3 Line is a fingerprint module (U2) serial 232 communication reception line, and receives the status value of the fingerprint module. D8 line 11 is a serial 232 communication transmission port of the 485-232 communication conversion module (U4) D9 line 12 is a 485 communication control port of the 485-232 communication conversion module U4 and functions to control the sending and receiving states of the 485 communication module and D10 13 line Is a 485 communication control port of the 485-232 communication conversion module U4, D11 Line 14 is the serial 232 communication receiving port of 485-232 communication conversion module (U4), and it reads the status of the finger vein module (U3) Line is a (+) voltage 5V output pin that supplies the 5V voltage of fingerprint module (U2), finger module (U3), 485 communication conversion module (U4) The VIN line 30 has a + 5V voltage input function as a voltage reference, and the VIN line 30 has a + 5V voltage input function. In the above configuration, the fingerprint authentication code output from the fingerprint module U2 And the finger vein authentication code (the unique number of the customer registered with the low vein) output from the finger vein module U3 is converted into 232 communication from the conversion module U4 and the integrated module U1 ), And when the fingerprint and the fingerprint authentication code coincide with each other, the corresponding authentication code is output through USB.

The fingerprint and fingerprint algorithm of this case invention can be expressed as follows.

{

    if (fingerprintcode> 0 && fingerveincode> 0 && fingerprintcode == fingerveincode))

    {

return fingerprintcode;

    }

    return 0;

}

The algorithm is an algorithm that accepts a fingerprint authentication code and a fingerprint authentication code from the integration module U1 and allows an authentication code only when the fingerprint and the low vein are the same person.

The following is a more detailed description.

The fingerprint module U2 retrieves a fingerprint and outputs the code number of the corresponding person when there is a person matching the fingerprint.

The finger vein module U3 searches for a finger vein and outputs the corresponding person's code number if there is a person matching the finger vein.

The fingerprint code of the fingerprint module U2 and the fingerprint code of the fingerprint module U3 are inputted into fingerprintcode and fingerveincode which are the arguments of the function name getfingerauthorization of the above algorithm so that both argument values are valid and also two registration The fingerprint and the finger vein integration module output the person's code only when the unique number of the customer is matched.

If other fingerprint code and fingerprint code are invalid or do not match, an error code of 0 is output.

The following describes the procedures for registering, authenticating and deleting fingerprints and fingerprints from the self-archiving recognizer or bank.

First, as shown in FIGS. 16 to 18, the fingerprint and the finger vein are registered, and the fingerprint and finger vein recognizer make a registration request (S311).

When there is a registration request in the fingerprint and fingerprint recognizer, the fingerprint and finger vein are scanned first by the finger of the person to be registered (S312).

Next, the fingerprint and the finger vein are scanned to the recognizer by the finger of the person who wants to register the fingerprint and the fingerprint of the person who intends to register after the first registration in the recognizer of the finger vein (S313).

Next, the fingerprint and finger vein are scanned by the finger of the person who intends to register the fingerprint and finger vein to the recognizer after the first registration in the fingerprint and fingerprint recognizer (S314).

In order to measure the accuracy of the registration of the fingerprint and finger vein in the recognizer, it is determined whether all three scanned images match (S315).

If the three fingerprints and the fingerprint registered in the recognizer do not coincide with each other and the three scanned images do not coincide with each other, the process is resumed. If all the scanned images match, the registration is completed (S316).

This process is performed three times to register the image of the correct fingerprint and finger vein.

Next, authentication of the fingerprint and the fingerprint is performed, and the fingerprint and fingerprint recognizer make an authentication request (S321).

The fingerprint of the fingerprint and the image of the finger vein are scanned in the fingerprint and fingerprint recognizer (S322).

In step S323, the image of the fingerprint and the finger vein scanned by the finger of the registered person is compared with the image of the fingerprint and finger vein.

In step S324, it is determined whether or not the scanned image matches the fingerprint and the fingerprint recognizer.

If all of the scanned images in the fingerprint and finger vein recognizer do not coincide with each other as described above, they are restarted. If all the scanned images match, the authentication is completed (S325).

The following is a step of deleting the registration of the fingerprint and the fingerprint, and the deletion request is made from the fingerprint and the fingerprint recognizer (S331).

The code of the party to be deleted is input to the fingerprint and fingerprint recognizer (S332).

It is determined whether the image of the code to be registered is deleted from the recognizer of the fingerprint and the finger vein (S333).

If the scanned image is not deleted from the recognizer of the fingerprint and the finger vein, the authentication is restarted. If the scanned image is deleted, the authentication is completed (S334).

As described above, when the fingerprint and the fingerprint are managed by a method of registering, authenticating and deleting the fingerprint and the fingerprint of the fingerprint and the fingerprint of the fingerprint and the fingerprint, the recognition degree of the fingerprint and fingerprint is further increased and the operation is simplified.
