Abstract:
A system, apparatus and method for obtaining biometric data from characteristics of a fingerprint and obtaining characteristics of subcutaneous structures that are embedded within finger tissue and located in relation to the fingerprint.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for sensing biometric information, comprising the steps of:\n providing an array of piezoelectric ceramic elements; providing a set of electronics for oscillation of said elements and for measuring motion of each of said elements; and wherein said electronics being controlled by software that is configured for transmitting pulses of acoustic energy, and wherein each of said pulses being transmitted from one or more individual transmitting elements within said array, and wherein at least two of said pulses are each transmitted from different transmitting locations within said array, and wherein a start of transmission of each of said at least two pulses is each offset in time for the purpose of causing each of said at least two pulses to arrive at a same location and at a same time within a volume of space that is adjacent to said array; and wherein at least some acoustic energy of said pulses is redirected as reflected acoustic energy from said same location within said volume of space, and redirected towards at least two different receiving locations within said array, and wherein said electronics being operable for obtaining a set of data encoding at least one representation of one or more tissue structures occupying said volume of space.
