SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION
First Claim
1. A system (10) for biometric identification, the system (10) comprising:
- at least two electrodes (12) for being applied to a face of a subject for capturing electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53, 54) therefrom,a database (14) comprising characteristic eye blink data of registered users,a processor (13) operably coupled to the electrodes (12) and the database (14), the processor (13) being operative to;
receive the electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53, 54) from the at least two electrodes (12) during at least one eye blink of the subject, the subject being one of the registered users,derive eye blink characteristics from the obtained electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53 54),make a comparison of the derived eye blink characteristics with at least part of the characteristic eye blink data in the database (14),based on the comparison, determine an identity of the subject.

Abstract
A system (10) is provided for enabling biometric identification. The system (10) comprises at least two electrodes (12), a database (14) and a processor (13). The at least two electrodes (12) are to be applied to a face of a subject for capturing electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53, 54) therefrom. The subject is one of the registered users. The database (14) comprises characteristic eye blink data of registered users. The processor (13) is operably coupled to the electrodes (12) and the database (14) and is operative to receive the electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53, 54) from the at least two electrodes (12) during at least one eye blink of the subject, to derive eye blink characteristics from the obtained electrophysiological signals (51, 52, 53 54), to make a comparison of the derived eye blink characteristics with at least part of the characteristic eye blink data in the database (14) and to determine an identity of the subject, based on the comparison.
