Abstract:
An optical module includes a housing with a lighting mechanism, an aperture formed therein, and a window that frames a transparent surface adapted to contact a skin surface of a person, for example, a fingertip. The lighting mechanism provides light to illuminate the skin surface placed upon the transparent surface. A prism has a first side facing the lighting mechanism, a second side at the window, and a third side through which a dactylographic image exits the prism. One or more light reflecting surfaces are disposed within the housing to reflect the dactylographic image towards the housing aperture. The optical module is coupled to a mobile device having a camera, with the aperture of the housing aligning with a lens of the camera. The camera acquires the dactylographic image, and the mobile device adjusts this dactylographic image to produce a dactylographic image suitable for biometric matching.

Claim (Index 66):
A non-powered optical module that captures a dactylographic image from a person, comprising:\n a frame that mechanically couples the optical module to a smartphone, the optical module having a diffuser window that diffuses ambient light, the frame portion having an aperture, and a second window that contacts a skin surface of the person, the frame portion coupling the optical module to a camera of the smartphone such that the aperture of the frame portion aligns with a first lens of the camera of the smartphone; a prism disposed in the frame portion with a first side of the prism facing the second window and a second side of the prism facing the diffuser window, diffused ambient light entering the optical module through the diffuser window and illuminating the skin surface; and a second lens that focuses the dactylographic image of the skin surface exiting the prism and propagating towards the aperture.
