Bio Sonar Security Systems

The Way It Works

The Bio Sonar Security System™ software is installed on the computer. The proximity distance is set for the particular computer (the distance is software settable from 14 to 42 inches) and each user registers their fingerprint on the Bio Sonar Security System™. The system creates fingerprint minutia points from the fingerprint scan. These minutia points are encrypted and stored on the computer. Once the system is activated, any attempt to deactivate the Bio Sonar Security System™, by removing the sonar device or biometric fingerprint scanner, renders the computer inoperable (until the devices are reattached).

When no active users are within the sonar range, the system is locked. The keyboard and mouse cease to function and the monitor is blanked out. As a user approaches the computer, the computer senses movement of a potential user and the Bio Sonar Security System requests the user authenticate themselves via the Precise Biometrics fingerprint scanner. If the user is authenticated, the user is allowed access to the system.

When the user leaves the proximity of the sonar sensor, the system locks instantly, regardless of any activity on the system (i.e. an unauthorized person accessing the system by typing on the computer keyboard prior to the system locking). When the same user returns and authenticates themselves, they are returned to the same screen that they left. If a different authorized user logs in, the computer logs the new user in and the previous user is logged out.

This system does not use badges to identify the user or when the user leaves the proximity of the computer. This system is ideally suited for situations where there are many users for each computer. The cost savings of not having to badge many users may be substantial. This system is ideally suited for shop floor and kiosk applications. The system is also suited for environments where the transmission of RF signals is not desired.

The Bio Sonar Security System is compatible with the Mercury Enterprise Software™ system.
