Methods and systems for capturing biometric data
First Claim
1. A method for authenticating users comprising:
- generating, by a processor, an authentication image from biometric data, the biometric data captured from a user with a device after an outline image displayed by the device is approximately aligned with an image of the biometric data displayed by the device;
aligning the authentication image with an enrollment image; and
verifying the identity of the user.

Abstract
A method of capturing biometric data is provided that includes activating a security application in a device. The security application is activated by an operator of the device and is configured to cause the device to display an outline image. Moreover, the method includes displaying the outline image in a stationary position on a display of the device, positioning desired biometric data proximate the device such that the desired biometric data appears as a biometric image on the device display, and monitoring the outline and biometric images shown on the device display. Furthermore, the method includes positioning the device and the desired biometric data to better align the outline and biometric images when the outline and biometric images do not align and capturing the desired biometric data from an individual after approximately aligning the outline image with the biometric image.

11. A computer system for authenticating users comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory configured to store biometric data, said computer system being associated with a network and said memory being coupled to said processor and having instructions stored therein which, when executed by said processor cause said processor to; generate an image from biometric data, the biometric data being captured by a device from a user after an outline image displayed by the device is approximately aligned with an image of the biometric data displayed by the device; align the generated image with another image; generate a biometric template from the aligned image; and compare the generated biometric template against a corresponding biometric template to verify the user.
