Abstract

La présente invention concerne un crayon à capteurs biométriques qui permet d'enregistrer un grand nombre de caractéristiques biométriques. Ce crayon constitue l'élément central d'un dispositif qui rend possible le passage d'un système de transactions commerciales à cartes en un système de transactions commerciales sans cartes. Utilisé pour signer, ce crayon enregistre, outre diverses caractéristiques, les empreintes de l'index et du pouce de l'intéressé. Les systèmes de vérification de signature utilisés à l'heure actuelle font certes appel à des crayons, mais sans relevé des empreintes digitales. Ce crayon peut se substituer aux cartes dans les terminaux de vente à des fins de vérification de la signature, dans des environnements clos dans lesquels des cartes remplissent une fonction bien précise, ou bien encore à l'intérieur d'une zone limitée. Au départ, ce crayon remplacera des systèmes à crayon existants pour la vérification de la signature. Une fois la signature authentifiée, l'emploi de cartes devient facultatif. Ce crayon peut également servir de moyen d'accès à certains services publics (subsides, inscription sur les rôles électoraux, permis de conduire, etc.).
