detailed description

Hereinafter, the principles and gist of the present invention will be described with reference to the embodiments. It is to be understood that the present invention is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. For example, features illustrated or described as part of one embodiment can be combined with another embodiment to yield another embodiment. For the sake of clarity, not all features of an actual implementation are described in this specification.

FIG. 1 is a method of identifying a user's identity based on fingerprint information. As shown in FIG. 1, the method can generally include: receiving identity information in step 101; and identifying the user based on the received identity information in step 202. In step 101, the received identity information includes a plurality of fingerprint information entered in a particular order. That is, the input order of the plurality of fingerprint information and the plurality of fingerprint information constitutes identity information. Illustratively, a receiver capable of reading fingerprint information may receive identity information as a front end and transmit the identity information to a backend system for identifying a user. Subsequently, in step 102, the identity information is stored with the fingerprint information stored in the background and the current order of the fingerprints. Matches are made to identify the user.

In one embodiment, the particular order is a random order generated by the background. The generated random order is also stored in the background. In this example, the identity of the user is identified by matching the identity information with the combination of the fingerprint information stored in the background and the generated random order. This embodiment ensures that the user's identity is not stolen by the sequence of real-time randomly generated. For example, in a payment scenario, the identity of the user needs to be verified. At this time, the background system can send the input order of the fingerprints to the user in various manners, and the user inputs the fingerprint information according to the order. For example, the backend system can send the sequence to the mobile phone carried by the user or the backend system can display the order on the display of the payment device. The sequence can be presented in clear text, such as "left hand: index finger, middle finger, index finger, middle finger". Preferably, the order may be presented in the form of a ciphertext (eg, a particular symbol), such as: L2323. The meaning of these symbols can be customized when the user registers. Thus, even if the symbol of the order is seen by others, the meaning is understood to improve the security. In one example, the random order generated by the background is presented in the form of a particular symbol, the meaning of the symbol representation being customized by the user when registering. In one example, the random order generated by the background, in addition to identifying the user's identity, indicates that a particular operation regarding the user's funds account, such as a payment operation, a transfer operation, will be made.

In one embodiment, the plurality of fingerprint information is from a different person. In this embodiment, the identity of the user to be identified may correspond to two or more specific persons. For example, the identity information as the payment password may be composed in a specific order due to the respective fingerprint information of a couple. The specific order can be generated as in the various embodiments described above. As such, by combining the fingerprints of different people and their order, virtual users composed of the different people can be identified in a unique manner. The virtual user may correspond to a shared funds account of the different person, such as a bank account, or a virtual account of a payment application.

In one embodiment, the particular sequence includes a serial input of two or more fingerprint information. The particular sequence may also be a serial input of two or more fingerprint information; multiple consecutive inputs of one fingerprint; simultaneous input of two or more fingerprints. 2 illustrates an apparatus for identifying a user's identity based on fingerprint information in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the device for identifying a user's identity based on fingerprint information includes a front end and a background. The front end can be any computing device capable of reading fingerprint information. The front end and the back end can communicate over a network (eg, a private network). The front end may be configured to receive a plurality of fingerprint information input in a specific order, the plurality of fingerprint information and an input order of the plurality of fingerprint information constituting the identity information. The front end transmits identity information to the background through the communication network. The background can be configured to match the identity information with information stored in the background to identify the user.

In one embodiment, the background stores a plurality of records, each record comprising a plurality of fingerprint information arranged in a particular order, wherein each record corresponds to an operation.

In one embodiment, when the identity information entered by the user matches one of the plurality of records, the identity of the user can be recognized by the background system, and the operation corresponding to the record that matches the identity information Executed. In one embodiment, the operation is a specific operation of a funds account associated with the user.

As described above, the front end may be configured to receive a plurality of fingerprint information input in a specific order, the plurality of fingerprint information and the input order of the plurality of fingerprint information constituting the identity information. The front end transmits identity information to the background through the communication network. The background can be configured to match the identity information with information stored in the background to identify the user. In the case of random sequential fingerprint information generated by the background, after randomly generating a specific order of fingerprint information, the background will store the randomly generated fingerprint information in a specific order for future input and input from the user. The specific order of fingerprint information is matched. Here, the user can input the fingerprint information in a random order expressed in the form of a specific symbol presented to the user as described in the above embodiment.

As described above, in one embodiment, the background stores a plurality of records, each of which includes a plurality of fingerprint information arranged in a particular order, wherein each of the records corresponds to an operation. Alternatively, the suffix stores a fingerprint sequence that randomly generates a specific order as a record, and the record corresponds to an operation.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a method of identifying a user identity based on fingerprint information according to an example of the present invention. This example includes the following steps:

301: The user starts to register in the background system;

302: input fingerprint information by a user;

303: The background system stores a fingerprint input by the user;

304: Receive fingerprint information of the user again;

305: Determine whether the received fingerprint information matches the fingerprint information stored by the background system, where the fingerprint information stored by the background system is preferably randomly generated fingerprint information, which may be set to be valid at a certain time;

306: When a match is found, identify the user as a real user;

307: When no match is found, the program ends.

In general, the various exemplary embodiments can be implemented in hardware or special purpose circuits, software, logic circuits, or any combination thereof. For example, some aspects may be implemented in hardware, while other aspects may be implemented in firmware or software, which may be executed by a controller, microprocessor or other computing device, although the invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, it is understood that the embodiments of the invention are not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed, and the modifications and other embodiments are intended to be included within the scope of the appended claims.
