Description

Fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device

The invention relates to a fingerprint protection device, in particular to a fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device which needs to be unlocked by fingerprint.

Citizens often have to use seals when dealing with financial institutions, and bank employees must verify whether the seals used by customers on various documents, certificates, and application forms when handling business are consistent with the original retained seals. However, even if the verification is consistent, it cannot rule out the possibility that the seal has been stolen. Therefore, there is still a certain risk in using seals that are currently popular in the market and are not properly kept. If they are accidentally obtained by someone with ulterior motives, there will be a risk of endangering the safety of property.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device which can only be unlocked by fingerprint, so as to prevent the seal from being stolen and prevent possible negligence.

Therefore, the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device of the present invention comprises a fingerprint protection shell, a fingerprint protection cover, a lock unit, a control unit and a fingerprint capture unit; the fingerprint protection shell is used to accommodate a fingerprint and expose a fingerprint surface end; the fingerprint protection cover can be connected with the fingerprint protection shell to The seal protection cover covers the seal face end of the seal, and the seal is stored between the seal protection cover and the seal protection shell; the buckle unit is arranged on the seal protection shell, and when the seal protection cover and the seal protection shell are connected, the seal protection cover is locked on the seal protection shell and is in a locked state, and the buckle unit The seal protection cover can be separated from the seal protection shell in an unlocked state to expose the seal surface end of the seal; the control unit is arranged on the seal protection shell and is electrically connected to the buckle unit to control the operation of the buckle unit, and the control unit can be used to store a fingerprint in advance; the fingerprint capture unit is arranged on The seal protection shell is electrically connected to the control unit. The fingerprint capture unit can capture a fingerprint to be identified and transmit the fingerprint to be identified to the control unit. When the control unit determines that the fingerprint to be identified is consistent with the fingerprint stored therein, the lock unit is controlled to change from the locked state to the unlocked state.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the fingerprint capture unit adopts a semiconductor fingerprint scanning module, an optical fingerprint scanning module or a tomographic fingerprint scanning module.

In some embodiments of the present invention, the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device further includes a setting key and an indicator light disposed on the fingerprint protection shell and electrically connected to the control unit. When the control unit determines that the setting key has been pressed for a preset time, the control unit controls the indicator light to display a first light signal to indicate that the user has entered the use of the fingerprint capture unit. After the control unit receives and stores the fingerprint transmitted by the fingerprint capture unit, the control unit controls the indicator light to display a second light signal representing completion of fingerprint setting, and when the control unit determines that the setting key is pressed, the control unit controls the indicator light to display a third light signal to indicate that the user inputs the fingerprint to be identified through the fingerprint capture unit.

The effect of the present invention is that by storing the fingerprint in the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device, when the user wants to use the fingerprint, the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device requires input of a fingerprint to be identified, and only when it is determined that the fingerprint to be identified matches the fingerprint pre-stored therein, the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device will unlock the fingerprint for the user to use, thereby preventing the user's fingerprint from being stolen by others.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar components are represented by the same reference numerals in the following description.

Referring to FIG. 1 , an embodiment of the novel fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device is shown. The fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device 100 includes a fingerprint protection shell 1 for accommodating a fingerprint 2, a fingerprint protection cover 3, a lock unit 4, a control unit 5 and a fingerprint capture unit 6.

The seal protection shell 1 is for the seal 2 to be embedded in through a first end 11 thereof and for exposing a seal face end 21 of the seal 2 (FIG. 1 shows, for example, the name "王OO" engraved on the end face of the seal face end 21). FIG. 1 shows that the seal protection shell 1 is cylindrical for example only, but is not limited thereto. For example, the seal protection shell 1 may also be a rectangular column.

The seal protection cover 3 matches the structure of the first end 11 of the seal protection shell 1, and can be mutually fitted and connected with the first end 11 of the seal protection shell 1 to close the first end 11 and cover the seal surface end 21 of the seal 2, so that the seal 2 is stored between the seal protection cover 3 and the seal protection shell 1.

The buckle unit 4 is arranged in the seal protection shell 1 and close to the first end 11, and when the seal protection cover 3 is connected to the first end 11 of the seal protection shell 1, the buckle unit 4 will lock (fix) the seal protection cover 3 on the seal protection shell 1 through a buckle element (not shown) so that the seal protection cover 3 is in a locked state, and when the lock unit 4 is in an unlocked state, the buckle element will release the seal protection cover 3, so that the seal protection cover 3 can be separated from the seal protection shell 1 and the seal surface end 21 of the seal 2 is exposed. The buckle element may be any known or existing buckle structure that can lock (fix) the seal protection cover 3 on the seal protection shell 1 and release the seal protection cover 3 when pressed, so that the seal protection cover 3 is separated from the seal protection shell 1.

The control unit 5 is disposed in the seal protection shell 1 and is electrically connected to the buckle unit 4 to control the operation of the buckle unit 4, and the control unit 5 can be used to pre-store a fingerprint (not shown).

The fingerprint capture unit 6 is disposed on the print protection shell 1, for example, disposed on a second end 12 of the print protection shell 1 opposite to the first end 11 and electrically connected to the control unit 5. The fingerprint capture unit 6 is used to capture a user's fingerprint and transmit the captured fingerprint to the control unit 5.

Specifically, the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device 100 of the present embodiment further includes a setting key 7 and an indicator light 8 (such as an LED light) which are arranged on the surface of the fingerprint protection shell 1 and are electrically connected to the control unit 5. When the user starts to use the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device 100 and wants to set the fingerprint, when the buckle unit 4 is in the locked state, the user can long press the setting key 7. At this time, the control unit 5 determines that the setting key 7 has been pressed for a preset time. When the value (e.g., 5 seconds) is reached, the control unit 5 controls the indicator light 8 to display a first light signal (e.g., a red light) to instruct the user to place a finger on the fingerprint capture unit 6 so as to capture (input) a fingerprint of the user through the fingerprint capture unit 6. After the control unit 5 receives and stores the fingerprint transmitted by the fingerprint capture unit 6, the control unit 5 controls the indicator light 8 to display a second light signal (e.g., a green light) indicating that the fingerprint setting is completed, and the user completes the fingerprint setting.

Afterwards, when the user wants to use the seal 2, the user can press the setting key 7, and when the control unit 5 determines that the setting key 7 is pressed, the control unit 5 controls the indicator light 8 to display a third light signal (for example, a yellow light), instructing the user to place a finger above the fingerprint capture unit 6 so that the fingerprint capture unit 6 captures (inputs) a fingerprint to be recognized by the user and transmits the fingerprint to be recognized to the control unit 5. When the control unit 5 determines that the fingerprint to be identified matches the fingerprint stored therein, it controls the buckle unit 4 to actuate, so that the buckle unit 4 changes from the locked state to the unlocked state, and the user can separate the seal protection cover 3 from the seal protection shell 1, and expose the seal surface end 21 of the seal 2 to use the seal 2. On the contrary, if the control unit 5 determines that the fingerprint to be identified does not match the fingerprint stored therein, the buckle unit 4 will not be controlled to operate, so that the buckle unit 4 maintains the locked state. In this way, even if someone other than the user obtains the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device 100, they cannot unlock and obtain the fingerprint 2, thereby preventing someone other than the user from stealing the fingerprint 2.

It is worth mentioning that the fingerprint capture unit 6 of the present embodiment can adopt but is not limited to, for example, the existing semiconductor fingerprint scanning module that obtains fingerprints by sensing the charge change, temperature difference, pressure, etc. of the finger, the optical fingerprint scanning module that obtains fingerprints by forming shadows through light, or the tomographic (also known as sliding) fingerprint scanning module that splices multiple local fingerprint images sensed into a complete fingerprint.

In summary, the above embodiment stores the fingerprint 2 in the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device 100, and when the user wants to use the fingerprint 2, the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device 100 requires the user to input a fingerprint to be identified, and only when it is determined that the fingerprint to be identified matches the fingerprint pre-stored therein, the fingerprint unlocking fingerprint protection device 100 unlocks the fingerprint 2 for the user to use, thereby preventing the user's important fingerprint from being stolen by others and avoiding endangering the user's property safety, and truly achieving the effect and purpose of this novel invention.

However, the above is only an example of the implementation of the present invention, and it cannot be used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention. All simple equivalent changes and modifications made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention and the content of the patent specification are still within the scope of the present patent.
