Abstract:
A biometric device such as a payment card includes a fingerprint sensor  15  having a sensing area for reading biometric data. A programming unit  1  is configured to engage the sensing area of the fingerprint sensor  15 . The biometric device is configured to detect non-fingerprint data presented to the sensing area by the programming unit  1  and to process the non-fingerprint data as a command. Exemplary commands may cause the device to perform one or more of the following actions: clear an enrolled biometric template stored on the device and/or permit enrolment of a new biometric template onto the device; temporarily or permanently disable a biometric template stored on the device; temporarily or permanently restrict one or more actions performable by the device; modify one or more parameters of a biometric algorithm performable by the device, for example the algorithm may be a biometric matching algorithm and the parameter may be a similarity threshold for determining a match or a number of clock cycles per match; modify a clock frequency of a processor in the device.

Claim (Index 10):
A programming tool for issuing one or more command to a biometric device comprising a capacitive fingerprint sensor having a driving electrode and an array of capacitive elements, the tool being shaped to engage the biometric device and comprising a first electrode positioned for engaging the driving electrode and an array of second electrodes positioned for capacitively coupling to the plurality of capacitive elements, the tool being configured to activate the second electrodes in one or more pre-determined, non-biometric pattern corresponding to the one or more command.
