What is it about?

Common biometric identification might be based on the fingerprint alone; however, fingerprint is possibility to be mimicked using photographs. This invention proposes a novel mechanism based on the object’s electrocardiograph (ECG) accompanied with advanced software for human’s ID (identity) identification in real time. It possesses the advantages of easy to operate by using only two touch pads to catch user’s ECG signals and, most importantly, ECG is extremely hard to be duplicated. Therefore, Wall Street Daily called it “The Most Secure Password in the World… Your Heartbeat” and gave a report to our invention.

Why is it important?

The successful rate of ID identification is up to 90%. By combining with fingerprint forming a dual biometric reader will improve the ID rate furthermore.

Perspectives

Traditional biometric identification might be based on fingerprint or face figure; however, both of them characterizing the skinny feature can sometimes be tricked using photographs. This invention proposes a novel mechanism based on the object’s electrocardiograph (ECG) accompanied with a “fuzzy logic inference algorithm” to extract characteristic indices for human’s ID identification. It possesses the advantages of easy to operate and, most importantly, heart behavior described by ECG is extremely hard to be duplicated or mimicked. I believe this idea possesses highly commercialized values.
