Contoured biometric sensor
First Claim
1. A biometric device for fingerprint recognition, comprising:
- a scanner,said scanner having a contoured scanning surface,said scanner comprising a sensor array wrap, and a sensor array embedded in said sensor array wrap,an application specific circuit for conversion of analog data from a captured fingerprint image from said sensor array into a digital image; and
,a fingerprint security application for verification of said digital image against stored fingerprint templates.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an apparatus and system for fingerprint recognition and hand-print recognition comprising a scanner with a contoured surface, or a scanner the surface of which deforms to allow more fingerprint or hand-print data to be captured, an application specific circuit for conversion of analog data from a captured fingerprint image from an embedded sensor array into a digital image and a fingerprint security application for verification of said digital image against stored fingerprint templates. The scanner array wrap with the embedded scanner array may be placed over the fixture to be scanned, or it may be formed as a part of the fixture that is scanned to authenticate the identity of a person.
