DESCRIPCIÓN DESCRIPTION
DISPOSITIVO ERGONÓMICO PARA LECTURA BIOMÉTRICA OBJETO DE LA INVENCIÓN ERGONOMIC DEVICE FOR BIOMETRIC READING OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención pertenece al campo técnico de la biometría. Más particularmente, la presente invención se refiere a un dispositivo lector de huellas digitales cuyo diseño ergonómico facilita la captura de los datos biométricos para la identificación de personas. The present invention belongs to the technical field of biometrics. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fingerprint reader device whose ergonomic design facilitates the capture of biometric data for the identification of people.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓN BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En la actualidad existe una gran variedad de dispositivos electrónicos para la recogida/lectura o escaneo de huellas dactilares. Los aparatos de escáner de huellas dactilares comparan características concretas de la huella digital; generalmente a estas características se las conoce como minucias y son características locales de las crestas de la huella localizadas en una bifurcación o finales de las mismas. At present there is a wide variety of electronic devices for the collection / reading or scanning of fingerprints. Fingerprint scanner devices compare specific features of the fingerprint; these characteristics are generally known as minutiae and are local characteristics of the ridges of the footprint located at a fork or end thereof.
Por ejemplo, el dispositivo descrito en US8569875 comprende un sensor de huellas dactilares que opera inyectando una pequeña corriente eléctrica en los dedos. Para ello, el sensor se rodea de un bisel o marco conductor ("bezel", en inglés) que constituye una superficie plana de contacto para el dedo del usuario que, cuando el usuario coloca o mueve el dedo sobre el área de captura del sensor, es capaz de hacer contacto físico y eléctrico con el dedo para permitir la operación del sensor sobre su huella. No obstante, esta estructura, disponiendo el bisel conductor alrededor del área de captura del sensor biométrico, presenta una serie de inconvenientes: For example, the device described in US8569875 comprises a fingerprint sensor that operates by injecting a small electrical current into the fingers. To do this, the sensor is surrounded by a bezel or conductive frame ("bezel"), which constitutes a flat contact surface for the user's finger which, when the user places or moves the finger on the sensor capture area , is able to make physical and electrical contact with the finger to allow the operation of the sensor on its fingerprint. However, this structure, having the conductive bezel around the capture area of the biometric sensor, has a number of drawbacks:
Si la persona tiene los dedos pequeños puede colocar perfectamente sus dedos sobre el área definida de captura y, sin embargo, no llegar a tocar el marco conductor. If the person has small fingers they can perfectly place their fingers on the defined capture area and, however, do not touch the conductive frame.
- La libertad de movimiento en la colocación del dedo sobre el sensor puede llevar a que el usuario lo coloque de una manera (por ejemplo, con el dedo en punta) en la que no se está contactando con la zona más
óptima del dedo en la que se encuentra el mayor numero de minucias para la captura (i.e., la yema del dedo). - The freedom of movement in the placement of the finger on the sensor can lead to the user placing it in a way (for example, with the pointed finger) in which the area is not being contacted anymore optimal finger in which the greatest number of minutiae for capture is found (ie, fingertip).
Otro ejemplo se describe en US554671 , referido a un dispositivo ergonómico específicamente diseñado para la captura de huellas dactilares que comprende una la carcasa ergonómica y dos superficies unidas en un margen de modo que la carcasa puede flexionarse cuando ambas superficies son agarradas y exprimidas dentro de la mano de la persona, mientras un dedo (normalmente, el pulgar) presiona una platina conductora que sirve para transferir la imagen de la huella del dedo al sensor de huellas. De esta manera, la carcasa ergonómica generalmente distribuye la presión de la mano de la persona a través de la carcasa y la platina, pero si la mano de la persona es pequeña, como en el ejemplo anterior, puede ocurrir que pulgar o el dedo que esté sobre la pletina, no contacte correctamente y no se transfieran adecuadamente las imágenes de la huellas al elemento sensor que captura los datos biométricos extraídos de dichas huellas. Another example is described in US554671, referring to an ergonomic device specifically designed for fingerprint capture that comprises an ergonomic housing and two surfaces joined in a margin so that the housing can flex when both surfaces are gripped and squeezed into the The person's hand, while a finger (usually the thumb) presses a conductive stage that is used to transfer the fingerprint image to the fingerprint sensor. In this way, the ergonomic carcass generally distributes the pressure of the person's hand through the carcass and the platen, but if the person's hand is small, as in the previous example, it may happen that thumb or finger is on the plate, does not contact correctly and the images of the prints are not transferred properly to the sensor element that captures the biometric data extracted from these prints
En general, la tecnología de captura de los sensores biométricos necesita de un punto de contacto eléctrico conductor en una zona fuera del área de captura del sensor, que típicamente se resuelve con la estructura conductora dispuesta toda alrededor del sensor. Esta solución implica que los dedos de los individuos al interactuar con el sensor deben estar siempre muy planos y tener el tamaño suficiente para hacer contacto con el marco. In general, the capture technology of the biometric sensors requires a conductive electrical contact point in an area outside the sensor capture area, which typically resolves with the conductive structure arranged all around the sensor. This solution implies that the fingers of the individuals when interacting with the sensor must always be very flat and have sufficient size to make contact with the frame.
Por consiguiente, el problema técnico objetivo que aquí se plantea es proporcionar un dispositivo para la lectura de datos biométricos extraíbles de huellas dactilares que dé una lectura correcta para todos los tamaños de dedos y evite colocaciones incorrectas de los mismos en el proceso de captura de las huellas. Therefore, the objective technical problem that arises here is to provide a device for reading removable biometric data from fingerprints that gives a correct reading for all finger sizes and prevents incorrect placement of the same in the process of capturing the fingerprints. footprints.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La presente invención sirve para solucionar el problema mencionado anteriormente, resolviendo los inconvenientes que presentan las soluciones comentadas en el estado de la técnica, proporcionando un dispositivo ergonómico para la lectura de huellas dactilares que dispone de una pieza o estructura conductora que, mientras
en los dispositivos existentes rodea perimetralmente el sensor de huellas, en el lector que aquí se propone se dispone en un extremo del dispositivo, justo por la zona por la que el usuario lo coge a modo de pinza y, así, inequívocamente la estructura conductora toca una parte de la mano que, conjuntamente con la colocación de los dedos en la zona de lectura del sensor, da como resultado la garantía del contacto indispensable para un correcto funcionamiento del lector. The present invention serves to solve the aforementioned problem, solving the drawbacks presented by the solutions mentioned in the prior art, providing an ergonomic device for reading fingerprints that has a conductive part or structure that, while in the existing devices, the fingerprint sensor surrounds perimeter, in the reader that is proposed here it is arranged at one end of the device, just by the area through which the user takes it as a clamp and, thus, unequivocally the conductive structure touches a part of the hand that, together with the placement of the fingers in the reading area of the sensor, results in the guarantee of the indispensable contact for a correct functioning of the reader.
Un aspecto de la invención se refiere a un dispositivo lector de huellas dactilares, que comprende los siguientes medios: One aspect of the invention relates to a fingerprint reader device, which comprises the following means:
- Una carcasa ergonómica que dispone de un extremo de agarre para que un usuario agarre el dispositivo lector con su mano en forma de pinza. Esta carcasa comprende el área de captura del sensor biométrico usado para la lectura de las huellas dactilares, asociado a una estructura de contacto conductora. El área de captura del sensor está situado en una cara de la carcasa a una distancia del extremo de agarre tal que uno o más dedos de la mano con la que agarra el usuario el dispositivo, cogiéndolo con la mano en pinza por el extremo de agarre, alcanza dicha área de captura del sensor. - An ergonomic housing that has a grip end for a user to grab the reading device with his hand in the form of a clamp. This housing comprises the capture area of the biometric sensor used for reading fingerprints, associated with a conductive contact structure. The sensor capture area is located on one side of the housing at a distance from the grip end such that one or more fingers of the hand with which the user grabs the device, grasping it with the clamp hand by the grip end , reaches said sensor capture area.
- Una estructura de contacto conductora, como se ha indicado anteriormente, que opera en asociación con el sensor biométrico, pero no está configurada a modo de marco rodeando el sensor, sino que está dispuesta en el extremo de agarre a una distancia del área de captura del sensor tal que al menos uno de los dedos que alcanzan el área de captura del sensor también contacta con esta estructura de contacto. - A conductive contact structure, as indicated above, which operates in association with the biometric sensor, but is not configured as a frame surrounding the sensor, but is arranged at the grip end at a distance from the capture area of the sensor such that at least one of the fingers that reach the capture area of the sensor also contacts this contact structure.
Algunas de las ventajas técnicas que presenta la invención frente a las soluciones del estado de la anterior técnica son: Some of the technical advantages presented by the invention over the prior art solutions are:
La presente invención dispone de una carcasa ergonómica que mejora el posicionamiento óptimo de las yemas de los dedos sobre el área de captura del sensor biométrico maximizando el número de minucias y haciendo las posición relativa entre superficie del sensor y las huellas en la captura más repetibles y, por tanto, disminuyendo las variaciones intra-clase entre capturas de un mismo individuo.
La presente invención presenta una estructura de contacto conductora cuya disposición estratégica en un extremo de la carcasa ergonómica próximo al área de captura del sensor mejora la accesibilidad de las personas con dedos pequeños. Esto es gracias a que el dispositivo propuesto, agarrado por el usuario con la mano en forma de pinza por dicho extremo, permite que en la captura de sus huellas digitales las personas no necesiten hacer contacto con sus dedos sobre una estructura (el típico marco o bisel conductor) que rodee el sensor, sólo se precisa que el dedo llegue a contactar con el área de captura del sensor y la estructura de contacto conductora en el extremo de agarre. Esta forma ergonómica de agarre, con la que el usuario siempre hace contacto al coger el dispositivo sin ningún esfuerzo en forma de pinza, garantiza que los dedos contactan adecuadamente la estructura conductora que opera, desde el extremo de agarre, en asociación con el sensor biométrico. The present invention has an ergonomic housing that improves the optimal positioning of the fingertips on the capture area of the biometric sensor by maximizing the number of minutiae and making the relative position between sensor surface and fingerprints in the capture more repeatable and , therefore, reducing intra-class variations between catches of the same individual. The present invention presents a conductive contact structure whose strategic arrangement at one end of the ergonomic housing close to the sensor capture area improves the accessibility of people with small fingers. This is thanks to the fact that the proposed device, grabbed by the user with the hand in the form of a clamp at that end, allows that in the capture of their fingerprints people do not need to make contact with their fingers on a structure (the typical frame or conductive bezel) surrounding the sensor, it is only necessary that the finger comes into contact with the sensor capture area and the conductive contact structure at the grip end. This ergonomic form of grip, with which the user always makes contact when picking up the device without any effort in the form of a clamp, guarantees that the fingers properly contact the conductive structure that operates, from the grip end, in association with the biometric sensor .
Todas estas mejoras a su vez logran conseguir una relación de Fallos de Adquisición o de Captura (i.e., proporción de los intentos de verificación o identificación en los que el dispositivo biométrico falla al capturar una muestra y que típicamente ocurre cuando el dispositivo no obtiene una señal biométrica con la suficiente calidad; FTC: Failure To Capture, en inglés) y de fallos de registro menor respecto a los sistemas biométricos (de ubicación horizontal) existentes. All these improvements, in turn, achieve an Acquisition or Capture Failure ratio (ie, proportion of the verification or identification attempts in which the biometric device fails to capture a sample and typically occurs when the device does not obtain a signal biometric with sufficient quality; FTC: Failure To Capture, in English) and of minor registration failures compared to existing biometric (horizontal location) systems.

La carcasa ergonómica (14) presenta un extremo de agarre por el que el usuario debe agarrar el dispositivo lector (10) durante el proceso de lectura biométrica. El agarre se realiza con una forma natural de la mano en pinza. El área de captura del sensor biométrico (1 1) está localizada a una distancia del extremo de agarre tal que al menos un dedo de la mano, preferiblemente dos dedos, el anular e índice, con la que agarra el usuario el dispositivo lector (10) por el extremo de agarre, alcanza dicha área de captura del sensor biométrico (11). En ese extremo de agarre, el dispositivo lector (10) comprende una estructura de contacto conductora (12) que está a una distancia del área de captura del sensor biométrico (11) tal que los dedos al agarrar y alcanzar el área de captura del sensor biométrico (11) también contactas con la estructura de contacto conductora (12), que opera en asociación con el sensor biométrico para leer huellas dactilares inyectando la necesaria corriente eléctrica para permitir el proceso de lectura biométrica. Figure 1 shows, seen from above, a fingerprint reader device (10) comprising an ergonomic housing (14) with a capture area of a biometric sensor (11). In an optional embodiment, the capture area of the biometric sensor (1 1) may be surrounded by a frame (13) that has at least one light device, preferably LEDs, to illuminate the capture area (11) and warn the user that the biometric reading process is active, for example. The ergonomic housing (14) has a grip end by which the user must grab the reading device (10) during the biometric reading process. The grip is done with a natural hand shape in clamp.
