Abstract:
An iris biometric recognition module includes technology for capturing images of an iris of an eye of a person, whether the person is moving or stationary. The iris biometric recognition technology can perform an iris matching procedure for, e.g., authentication or identity purposes, by comparing a digital iris image to a reference iris image and, if the digital and reference iris images match, transition an object from a locked to an unlocked state to allow access to the object.

Claim (Index 1):
A biometric access control device comprising:\n a camera having a field of view; an illuminator device comprising one or more illuminators that emit light into the field of view; an access control mechanism coupled to an object and having a locked state that prevents access to the object and an unlocked state that allows access to the object; an input device; memory storing program instructions; and a processor communicatively coupled to the illuminator device, the camera, the access control mechanism, the input device, and the memory, and further communicatively coupled to a database storing a reference iris image for a user validated to access the object, the processor executing the program instructions to:\n receive an input signal from the input device; \n determine that the input signal comprises a permission to scan an iris of a person in proximity to the object; \n align the camera with the iris of the person; \n send a first control signal to the illuminator device, the first control signal activating a synchronous emission of light by the one or more illuminators at a pulse frequency above continuous wave eye safe limits; \n send a second control signal to the camera, the second control signal activating a capture of a plurality of digital images by the camera, the capture being synchronous with the synchronous emission of light; \n receive the plurality of digital images from the camera; \n access the database and retrieve the reference iris image; \n determine that a first digital image of the plurality of digital images matches the reference iris image; and \n transition the access control mechanism from the locked state to the unlocked state.
