Biometric security device

Abstract

The invention relates to a security device (1), which comprises at least one authentication device (17) and a locking device (18), wherein the authentication device (17) comprises at least one sensor (2) and an evaluation and comparison module (10), and wherein a communication connection (21) exists between the locking device (18) and the authentication device (17), wherein the sensor (2) is configured as a thin-film sensor for the detection of biometric data and/or spectral properties of the skin and tissue layers beneath, and wherein the communication connection (21) is configured for the secure, wireless transmission of a distinctive user code determined by the authentication device (17) and in the effective range thereof is limited to a short range, particularly less than 50 cm, and wherein the locking device (18) is deactivated if the user code agrees with an identification code associated with the locking device.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a security device for protecting technical devices from unauthorized use or unauthorized access. The safety device at least includes a verification device and a locking device, wherein the verification device at least includes a sensor and an analysis and comparison module, and there is a communication connection between the locking device and the verification device. Background technique [0002] Technical equipment or technical devices-such as security areas, security doors, data processing devices and light weapons (Feuerwaffe)-require protective measures to ensure that only authorized or authorized personnel can use these devices as required, or that only these personnel can access them. Because most of the use of this device manages and / or keeps information that is important for security or to keep secret, or the use of this device poses a special risk to the user or to the environment and other personnel, that is, the security...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0007] A disadvantage of the methods known from the prior art is that they are not suitable or only conditionally suitable for mobile use, since the user's hands must be placed in the device, for example

Furthermore, it is disadvantageous that the biometric sensor is integrated in another device - such as a watch

In everyday use, particularly when taking into account the ambient conditions of dirt, dust and higher mechanical loads, damage to the biometric sensor can easily result when the safety device is used in accordance with regulations

But if the biometric sensor is damaged, the entire watch needs to be replaced, which is costly and laborious, since the stored biometric reference values ​​must also be transmitted or re-determined
