CA 2327580

A stylus with biometric sensors captures a wide variety of biometrics while the pen is being used. The stylus is the centerpiece of a system to enable conversion from a card-based commercial transaction system to a cardless commercial transaction system. The stylus senses the prints of the index finger and thumb along with other properties, while the customer uses the stylus to sign his name. In signature verification systems currently in use, pen-like systems are used, but prints are not being measured. The stylus enables the conversion at point-of-sale terminals when used to verify signatures, and in closed environments where house cards are issued for a limited purpose or within a limited area. Initially, the stylus will replace existing pen-like systems for signature verification. Once used for signature verficiation, the credit card becomes optional. Applicants can also use the stylus to participate in government programs (such as subsidies, voter registration, and driver's licenses).

La présente invention concerne un crayon à capteurs biométriques qui permet d'enregistrer un grand nombre de caractéristiques biométriques. Ce crayon constitue l'élément central d'un dispositif qui rend possible le passage d'un système de transactions commerciales à cartes en un système de transactions commerciales sans cartes. Utilisé pour signer, ce crayon enregistre, outre diverses caractéristiques, les empreintes de l'index et du pouce de l'intéressé. Les systèmes de vérification de signature utilisés à l'heure actuelle font certes appel à des crayons, mais sans relevé des empreintes digitales. Ce crayon peut se substituer aux cartes dans les terminaux de vente à des fins de vérification de la signature, dans des environnements clos dans lesquels des cartes remplissent une fonction bien précise, ou bien encore à l'intérieur d'une zone limitée. Au départ, ce crayon remplacera des systèmes à crayon existants pour la vérification de la signature. Une fois la signature authentifiée, l'emploi de cartes devient facultatif. Ce crayon peut également servir de moyen d'accès à certains services publics (subsides, inscription sur les rôles électoraux, permis de conduire, etc.).
