Apple describes how to verify the finger

Thursday in filing a patent application, Apple exposed that the technological backbone of fingerprint scan technology, the company may use their mobile phones, tablet PCs and laptops as part of the next invention of authentication system.

It is widely speculate iPhone 5S, is expected this fall, will include a fingerprint scanning technology.

Multi-factor authentication plan began to find online services of all ages, but most rely on a code is sent to the user's mobile phone. Apple through fingerprint biometric authentication, can be used independently or as part of two-factor authentication.

CrucialTec show before this year for mobile phones and a fingerprint scanner, seemingly Samsung has developed technologies.

The newly formed quick identity online (FIDO) Alliance, which focuses on strong authentication, lays out a finger sensor option, which is developing a procedure that will match. FIDO has been tracking with great interest the latest iPhone fingerprint scanners and other development, the Union will provide cloud-based service level biometric authentication pipes.

Apple's copyright application describes the use of touch-screen technology, the screen with pixel sensor and the electrodes, all these rumors are appropriate for use in the design of the iPhone 5S array. In the phone's screen, pixel sensor and an electrode understanding will define the fingerprint sensor area.

In the technique described in patent application through AuthenTec, Apple acquired the company in 2012 was $ 365 million U.S. dollars.

Authored by Dale Setlak's, AuthenTec's ex- vice president of explore and development applications.

Setlak lays out a finger and touch screen input sensor design. Setlak design does not require any input keys, but do not say, the fingerprint sensor can be used for transferable or fixed electronic devices.

Design Notes pixel array sensors and electrodes collect capacity. The design allows the selection of the measurement program, will allow the two-dimensional measurement, it is considered a more accurate reading of the user's fingerprint.

Setlak also wrote that the measuring electrode can be used to collect as a fingerprint person who reads function when not in use, touch-sensitive pixels dual liability.
