Abstract:
A signal identification system for arbitrary contour signal, wherein personalized-identification-signal (PIS) is applied, said system employs a portable storage device and/or network to store features and/or parameters according to a signal template, wherein said parameters are used for simplification of processing of an incoming test signal, said features are used for verification of said incoming test signal, said system comprising:a single or plurality of users;means for each of said users to select an unique personalized-identification-signal (PIS), said personalized-identification-signal (PIS) does not limit to an original signal of said user, and includes any arbitrary contour signal which can be repeatable and/or memorized by said user;means for entering and recording said personalized-identification-signal (PIS) as an identification means for said user;computing system means for processing and/or analyzing each of said personalized-identification-signal (PIS), said computing system includes means for extracting and/or defining a signal template for each said personalized-identification-signal (PIS), said signal template comprising:(i) a selective set of parameters for normalization and/or segmentation of said personalized-identification-signal (PIS); and(ii) a selective set of features for representing results of said segmentation of said personalized-identification-signal (PIS);means for using said parameters and/or said features for representing said signal template for said personalized-identification-signal (PIS); andmeans for a portable storage device, and/or a network means to store and/or carry said parameters and/or said features as an identification means for each of said users.
