TITLE: Multiple fingerprint scanning on touchscreen display granted to Jenetric

CONTENT: The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded the patent for Jenetric’s new technology which involves scanning biometrics from multiple fingers on touchscreen displays such as smartphones. Jenetric is exploring use of Thin Film Transistor optical technology for in display fingerprint sensors on mobile phones along with use of traditional scanners for homeland security market. The technology uses simultaneous recognition of multiple fingers by a touchscreen fingerprint sensor.
