Patent ID: 7818791

Claim:
A fingerprint authentication method for accessing wireless network systems, which is applied to a wireless network communications apparatus, the fingerprint authentication method at least comprising the steps of: (1) inputting fingerprint data of users via a biometric data input module that is installed in the wireless network communications apparatus or an operating apparatus at a user end; (2) converting fingerprint data into first matrix data compliant with wireless network authentication bit ciphers; (3) storing the first matrix data in a memory storage unit of a management information base (MIB) database; (4) setting a threshold for pattern identification with respect to the first matrix data; (5) converting the captured fingerprint data to second matrix data compliant with wireless network authentication bit ciphers in a Station Management Entity (SME) upon input of fingerprints via the biometric data input module by users; (6) comparing the second matrix data with the first matrix data stored in the memory storage unit of a management information base MIB database, and further acquiring the actual threshold for pattern identification; and (7) determining whether the actual threshold for pattern identification matches the preset threshold for pattern identification, and if the thresholds match one another, the wireless network communications system will be actuated, and otherwise, if the input fingerprint pattern of matching degrees do not reach the threshold, the system will not be started.
