1. A method of capturing biometric data comprising:
- generating, by an accelerometer and gyroscope included in a terminal device, data regarding rotation and translation of the terminal device;
calculating, by the terminal device, based on the generated data, an angle between a surface of the terminal device and an X-axis of the terminal device;
when the angle is other than ninety degrees, displaying, by the terminal device an image of a biometric modality of a user, a first pair of parallel lines, and a second pair of parallel lines;
moving the first pair of parallel lines to overlap the second pair of parallel lines as the terminal device is moved into an optimal position in response to said displaying step, wherein each pair of parallel lines delimits the dimensions of the image in the optimal position; and
when the first and second pairs of parallel lines overlap, capturing, by the terminal device, biometric data from the user.

Abstract
A method of capturing biometric data is provided that includes calculating, by a terminal device, an angle between a surface of the terminal device and an X-axis of the terminal device. When the angle is other than ninety degrees, a prompt is displayed on the terminal device that is designed to cause a terminal device user to adjust the position of the terminal device into an optimal position. After adjusting the position of the terminal device, the terminal device calculates the angle and when the angle is ninety degrees the terminal device captures biometric data from the user.
