Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
A method for accurately determining identity of a human being comprising the steps of: a. conditioning a finger of said human being by bringing said finger in contact with a solid piece lubricant dispenser that releases a controlled amount of lubricant on the surface of said finger containing unique identifying characteristics; b. sampling three fingerprint images of said finger with an electronic (live) scanner at three sequential time intervals and by inspecting the relative changes in said three sequential fingerprint images to determine whether sufficient portion of said finger is present in the field of view of said scanner, and said finger contact area with said scanner is stationary; c. monitoring position of said finger on said scanner to determine whether said finger is placed too high or too low on said scanner, and instruct said human being using audio and visual feedback to adjust said finger position up or down, or sideways on said scanner; d. capturing fingering image of said lubricated finger electronically with a scanner and transmitting it to a computer; and e. identifying said human being by processing said fingerprint image electronically with a computer.

Claim 3
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for improving the quality of a fingerprint image from a dry, chapped, or dirty finger of a human being, comprising: a. use of a solid piece lubricant dispenser consisting of an oil impregnated porous material that releases a controlled amount of lubricant or mixture of lubricant with fragrant and disinfectant under contact or pressure; b. use of a scanner for capturing a high quality unfragmented fingerprint image of conditioned dry, chapped, or dirty said finger for identifying said human being.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
82 words
A method for improving the quality of a fingerprint image from a dry, chapped, or dirty finger of a human being, comprising: a. use of a solid piece lubricant dispenser consisting of an oil impregnated porous material that releases a controlled amount of lubricant or mixture of lubricant with fragrant and disinfectant under contact or pressure; b. use of a scanner for capturing a high quality unfragmented fingerprint image of conditioned dry, chapped, or dirty said finger for identifying said human being.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
102 words
An apparatus for improving quality of a fingerprint image of a human being comprising: a. the use MICROPOLY material, impregnated with lubricant or mixture of lubricant with fragrant and disinfectant, in the form of solid piece lubricant dispenser capable of releasing a controlled amount of lubricant on finger under contact or pressure; and b. means for capturing a high quality unfragmented fingerprint image of said conditioned finger for identifying said human being using a live scan fingerprint reader, an interface to transfer captured image to a processor, and a computer to extract features from said fingerprint and match them against a database.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
102 words
An apparatus for improving quality of a fingerprint image of a human being comprising: a. the use MICROPOLY material, impregnated with lubricant or mixture of lubricant with fragrant and disinfectant, in the form of solid piece lubricant dispenser capable of releasing a controlled amount of lubricant on finger under contact or pressure; and b. means for capturing a high quality unfragmented fingerprint image of said conditioned finger for identifying said human being using a live scan fingerprint reader, an interface to transfer captured image to a processor, and a computer to extract features from said fingerprint and match them against a database.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
76 words
An apparatus for identification of a human being from fingerprints comprising: a. a solid piece pellet of oil impregnated MICROPOLY material to lubricate, clean, deodorize, or disinfect a finger prior to placing said finger on a scanner; b. a scanner for capturing a fingerprint image; and c. means for identifying said human being by extracting features from said fingerprint image and comparing and matching said features with features of other fingerprint images stored in a database.
