Η Fujitsu plans to integrate the innovative palm scanning method into smartphones. Currently, corresponding palm scanners have been integrated into laptops and tablets.
This is technology PalmSecure developed by the Japanese company, which uses infrared to scan the veins beneath the surface of the user's palm.
Remarkable is the need for blood circulation in the veins for the sensor to work. Fujitsu argues that this biometric technology has the probability of mistaken acceptance of only 0,00008% and wrong rejection 0,01%.
If the above sounds a bit like science fiction scenarios, Fujitsu refutes them, as it first used this technology at the ATM of the Japanese bank Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi as early as 2004. Followed by PalmSecure scanners at Suruga Bank, 2004.
Subsequently, the Japanese company further developed the technology to reduce it and be able to be placed initially on laptops as well as on tablets. The portable version of the palm scanners has already been placed on 2.000 tablets supplied by the Fukuoka Financial Group for the needs of its executives.
The Fujitsu Arrows Q704/H 12,5-inch tablet incorporates an Intel Core i5 processor and runs operating system Windows, while it can also work as a virtual one desktop with computers.
With this device, bank executives can be located on the client's premises and conduct banking transactions with absolute security. After all, these tablets can only be used by authorized executives.
As Fujitsu spokesperson told Computer World, nobody today has the technology that is clearly safer than simple fingerprint scanning.
Indeed, he revealed that several Japanese banks were interested in the palm scanner as a means of certifying people after natural disasters when other identification data may have been lost or destroyed.
The next step will be to further reduce the infrared sensor, which now has the size of a stamp.
In this way, it will be possible to place the palm-recognition sensor on smartphones, although no timing or agreement has been found about devices that could incorporate the PalmSecure.
