Fingerprint detection apparatus with partial fingerprint images
First Claim
1. A fingerprint detection apparatus comprising:
- a detection array having a detection surface;
a fingerprint platform configured to supply a plurality of partial fingerprint images of a fingerprint to the detection surface as the fingerprint is moved relative to the detection surface; and
a processing device configured to construct a final fingerprint image from the plurality of partial fingerprint images supplied to the detection surface.

Abstract
A fingerprint detection apparatus which includes a detection array having a detection surface, and a fingerprint platform configured to supply a plurality of partial fingerprint images of a fingerprint to the detection surface as the fingerprint is moved relative to the detection surface. The fingerprint detection apparatus also includes a processing device that is configured to construct a final fingerprint image from the plurality of partial fingerprint images supplied to the detection surface. A method of detecting a fingerprint image comprising the steps of: (1) supplying a plurality of partial fingerprint images of a fingerprint to a detection surface of a detection array as the fingerprint is moved relative to the detection surface; and (2) constructing a final fingerprint image from the plurality of partial fingerprint images.
