Abstract:
1. A mobile, automatic fingerprint identification system comprising: a mobile image input device capable of transmitting a scanned fingerprint image; a mobile computing device including a memory storage device, a graphical user interface (GUI), and a processor, said image input device adapted for delivering a fingerprint image to said computer, wherein said image is saved to said memory storage device; said mobile computing device receiving identification data input into said mobile computing device with said user input interface and associating said identification data with said fingerprint image, said identification data including the identity of the person to whom the fingerprint belongs, the finger from which the print was taken, and the type of print taken; said mobile computing device capable of generating a random globally unique identifier (GUID) number and associating that number with said fingerprint image; image editing software stored on said memory storage device, said software capable of clarifying said fingerprint image, including increasing contrast and reducing image blur; said image editing software including an image layout board stored within said computer memory storage device; said image software capable of producing a plurality of customizable image boxes which can be moved, resized, locked, and unlocked within said image layout board; wherein a fingerprint or handprint image is stored within each of said customizable image boxes; said plurality of customizable image boxes being adapted to be placed into a desired layout and saved as a template for future use; said plurality of customizable image boxes are automatically produced in a layout which conforms to meet the requirements of a predefined searchable forensic database containing identified fingerprints; fingerprint images being automatically placed into said image boxes based upon said fingerprint image GUID number or other fingerprint identification characteristics; said mobile computing device capable of locating identifying minutiae from said scanned fingerprint image and comparing said identifying minutiae against a database containing a plurality of identified fingerprints; and said mobile computing device further capable of identifying the person to whom the fingerprint belongs.
