VASCULAR PATTERN DETECTION SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A vascular pattern recognition system integrated onto a portable card, the system comprising:
- a vascular pattern detection system to obtain image data of blood vessels of a finger to be swiped across a detection area on the portable card, wherein the vascular pattern detection system includes a near infrared light source and an image sensor array;
an image processor to process the image data to generate a scanned vascular pattern and compare the scanned vascular pattern to a pre-stored pattern stored on the portable card to authenticate the image data; and
a security processor to generate a transaction code to authorize a transaction upon authentication of the image data, wherein the transaction code is transmitted through contact with a card reader or contactlessly via near field communication,wherein a thickness of the vascular detection system is less than approximately two millimeters.

Abstract
In the examples provided herein, a vascular pattern recognition system integrated onto a portable card includes a vascular pattern detection system to obtain image data of blood vessels of a finger to be swiped across a detection area on the portable card, wherein the vascular pattern detection system includes a near infrared light source and an image sensor array. The vascular pattern recognition system also includes an image processor to process the image data to generate a scanned vascular pattern and compare the scanned vascular pattern to a pre-stored pattern stored on the portable card to authenticate the image data, and a security processor to generate a transaction code to authorize a transaction upon authentication of the image data.

9. A vascular pattern detection system on a portable card comprising:
-
a recessed region having a width approximately a finger'"'"'s width across and a length shorter than the width, wherein the recessed region has a first sloping edge along the width on a first side and a second sloping edge along the width on a second side opposite the first side; a first near infrared (NIR) light-emitting diode (LED) array positioned along the first sloping edge; and an image sensor array to receive light emitted by the first NIR LED array and scattered from blood vessels of a finger to be swiped along the width of the recessed region. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11)

12. A vascular pattern detection system on a portable card comprising:
-
a scanning area having a width approximately a finger'"'"'s width across and a length shorter than the width; an image sensor array within the scanning area; a near infrared (NIR) filter and spacer positioned over the image sensor array; a microlens array positioned over the NIR filter and spacer; and a NIR light source to emit light above the microlens array toward a finger to be swiped along the length of the scanning area, wherein the image sensor array receives light emitted by the NIR light source and scattered from blood vessels of the finger. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15)
