Successful development of infant fingerprint capture device

NEC Company (Japan) has succeeded in developing the world's first infant fingerprint grab device.

According to JapanToday, the device is co-researched and developed with Michigan State University, USA and has undergone extensive testing in India's State of Dayalbagh. The prototype device can easily capture fingerprint images of more than 300 children, including more than 100 children under 6 months old, one of which is even born more than 6 hours.

So far, the identification of infant fingerprints is very difficult because the size of the fingerprint is too small, especially when the current fingerprint devices for young children are still too large in size.

This device is very compact, convenient and extremely light.

NEC's new ultra-compact device has a convenient design, extremely light weight (less than 50 grams) and has a rounded edge, which is suitable for small children as well as the grip. Thanks to its versatility and compactness, the device can easily take babies' fingerprints in any location.

The device uses CMOS image sensor for pixel density of 1,270 ppi with super sharp image quality. In addition, the device also has a special glass plate made of glass fiber that enhances and improves the image quality. Fingerprint images can be captured within seconds.

The handler simply places the infant's finger on the sensor surface. The preview image of the fingerprint will be displayed on a mobile device. There, the photographer can decide whether to save the image with just one click. So almost every operation of taking and taking fingerprints is done very quickly and does not hurt children.

The handler simply places the infant's finger on the sensor surface.

NEC's CEO Ryoji Hayashi said: "Providing this prototype-based technology solution enables NEC to contribute to solving many important social issues, including vaccination management. , providing food and managing birth certificates accurately by ensuring the correct identity of babies through fingerprints ".

The process of researching and completing equipment will continue in the coming time. It is unclear when NEC will launch this product to the market.
