Embodiment (2) Mobile Phone Fingerprint Identification System

[0053] Referring to an embodiment shown in FIG. 1, a mobile phone fingerprint identification system provided herein differs from that of Embodiment 1 in the spectral chip. The spectral chip 2 in Embodiment 2 includes a spectrum modulation module 21 and an image and spectrum inversion module 22. The spectrum modulation module 21 includes a photoelectric conversion substrate and a light-filtering film arranged on the photoelectric conversion substrate. The photoelectric conversion substrate is a silicon-based image sensor, specifically, a CMOS image sensor or a charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor. The photoelectric conversion substrate is configured to convert the optical signal into the electrical signal to be converted into the digital signal or the code for output. The light intensity information at each pixel position is output, that is, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the output light intensity information and pixel position information. The light-filtering film has a single-layer structure, which is spliced by N kinds of known materials with different light transmittances through coating and etching in sequence. The light-filtering film includes N periods. Each of the N periods represents a channel, and includes n units, respectively T.sub.1, T.sub.2 . . . T.sub.n. Each of the N units is configured to cover M pixels on the photoelectric conversion substrate, where M is greater than or equal to 1. A periodic structure formed by all the units covers all pixels on the photoelectric conversion substrate. The light-filtering film corresponding to each pixel has the same or different spectral transmittances to enable spectroscopic operation. In addition, the spectral transmittances of the light-filtering film are all known. An optical signal intensity on each pixel is corrected based on a corresponding spectral transmittance information, and the fingerprint image data is collected by inversion in combination with a combination of all pixels.

[0054] The image and spectrum inversion module is electrically connected to the spectrum modulation module, and is configured to collect the spectral data of the light reflected by the finger and the fingerprint image data by inversion according to the intensity information of the optical signal and the location information of the corresponding pixel output from the spectrum modulation module.

[0055] The image and spectrum inversion module is configured to perform inversion through the following steps.

[0056] An optical signal intensity on each pixel is corrected by dividing the optical signal intensity value on each pixel by a corresponding spectral transmission value. All pixels are combined to inverse the fingerprint image data to achieve high-accuracy imaging. A spectral transmission value corresponding to each pixel is known, in a periodic structure formed by N pixels, according to a spectral transmittance curve and a combination of the N pixels, an incident spectral values of the N pixels is inversed, as shown in the following formula:

[00002]$S_i=\int I\left(\lambda \right)T_i\left(\lambda \right)\eta \left(\lambda \right)d\lambda ,$

[0057] where S is an optical signal intensity value output by the photoelectric conversion substrate; I is an incident spectrum, which is a signal to be solved; T is a spectral transmittance of the light-filtering film; η is a quantum efficiency of the photoelectric conversion substrate; and λ is an incident wavelength.

[0058] The identification module is configured to adopt a distance calculation method for identification. The distance calculation method includes a Euclidean distance method and a similar information clustering method, or a discrimination test method to distinguish whether it is the same finger. During the identification by using the discrimination test method, a finger is tested once every 20-60 ms. 10 average spectral data of the same finger are taken as benchmark spectral data and stored in the data storage module. When a fingerprint is unlocking, the collected fingerprint spectrum is directly compared with the reference spectra data. If the maximum discrimination of multiple measurements is less than 2.38, it can be considered as the same finger.

Embodiment (3) a Method for Producing the Spectrum Inversion Module

[0059] Provided herein is a method for producing the spectrum inversion module, which is described below.

[0060] (S1) A suitable photoelectric conversion substrate is selected according to a usage scenario.

[0061] (S2) N kinds of light-filtering film materials with different light transmittances are selected. A first light-filtering film material is coated on the photoelectric conversion substrate followed by coating an etching layer to etch an area unneeded to be coated with the first light-filtering film material according to a corresponding pixel on the photoelectric conversion substrate. A second light-filtering film material is coated on the photoelectric conversion substrate followed by coating another etching layer to etch an area unneeded to be coated with the second light-filtering film material according to a corresponding pixel on the photoelectric conversion substrate. The above steps are repeated successively until the N kinds of light-filtering film materials are all coated on the photoelectric conversion substrate to form a light-filtering film. The light-filtering film has a single-layer structure with N periods. Each period includes n units, respectively T.sub.1, T.sub.2 . . . T.sub.n. Each unit is configured to cover M pixels on the photoelectric conversion substrate, where M is greater than or equal to 1. The light-filtering film corresponding to each pixel has the same or different spectral transmittances.

[0062] In this embodiment, the etching process in step (S2) can be completed by a direct laser writing etching method, a mask lithography method, an ion beam etching method, and an electron beam etching method, etc. When the mask lithography etching method is used, each kind of light-filtering film material is coated with a layer of photoresist, followed by exposure, development, baking, etching, post-drying, and other standard lithography processes to complete etching. When the direct laser writing etching method, the ion beam etching method and the electron beam etching method are used, the preparation process is similar to that in the mask lithography etching method, using the existing method for etching.

[0063] In this embodiment, the light-filtering film is made of a polyimide-based material.

Embodiment (4) a Fingerprint Identification Method Using the Fingerprint Identification System

[0064] As shown in FIG. 3, a fingerprint identification method using the fingerprint identification system is provided in an embodiment, which is described below.

[0065] (S1) A fingerprint identification function of the mobile phone is started to allow the fingerprint identification system of the mobile phone to start self-checking. After the fingerprint identification system is confirmed to be normal by self-checking, the spectral chip, the identification module, and the data storage module are allowed to be in a warm-up standby state.

[0066] (S2) A fingerprint to be identified is allowed to press the fingerprint collection module on the screen of the mobile phone. Light waves emitted by the light source with three primary color bands illuminate the fingerprint to be identified to form a reflected light on the surface of the fingerprint to be identified.

[0067] (S3) The spectral chip is started. The reflected light enters the spectral chip to be split by the spectrum modulation module of the spectral chip. An optical signal of the split light is converted into an electrical signal to be amplified and converted into a digital signal or a code for output. Then the image and spectrum inversion module obtains a finger reflection spectral data and a fingerprint image data by an inversion according to an intensity information of an optical signal and a corresponding pixel location information output by the spectrum modulation module.

[0068] The image and spectrum inversion module performs the inversion through the following steps.

[0069] An optical signal intensity on each pixel is corrected by dividing the optical signal intensity value on each pixel by a corresponding spectral transmission value. All pixels are combined to inverse the fingerprint image data to achieve high-accuracy imaging. A spectral transmission value corresponding to each pixel is known, in a periodic structure formed by the N pixels, according to a spectral transmittance curve and a combination of the N pixels, an incident spectral values of the N pixels is inversed, as shown in the following formula:

[00003]$S_i=\int I\left(\lambda \right)T_i\left(\lambda \right)\eta \left(\lambda \right)d\lambda ,$

[0070] where S is an optical signal intensity value output by the photoelectric conversion substrate; I is an incident spectrum, which is a signal to be solved; T is a spectral transmittance of the light-filtering film; η is a quantum efficiency of the photoelectric conversion substrate; and λ is an incident wavelength.

[0071] (S4) The obtained finger spectral data and fingerprint image data are inputted into the identification module. The obtained finger spectral data and fingerprint image data are respectively compared with a real finger reflection spectral data and a real fingerprint image data pre-stored in the data storage module and the collected. If the obtained finger spectral data and fingerprint image data respectively matches with the real finger reflection spectral data and the real fingerprint image data pre-stored in the data storage module, the fingerprint to be identified is identified as a real fingerprint.

[0072] In this disclosure, the spectral chip in Embodiment 1 is implemented to measure the reflection spectra of a real fingerprint and a false fingerprint film engraved with the real fingerprint. The specific spectra are shown in FIG. 4, where FIG. 4a is the reflection spectrum of the finger under red, blue and green light irradiation; and FIG. 4b is the reflection spectrum of the false fingerprint film under red, blue and green light irradiation. As can be seen from the FIG. 4, even if the fingerprints are same, as the real finger is different from the false fingerprint film, the reflection spectrum of the finger is completely different from that of the false fingerprint film. Therefore, the reflection spectral information can be used to accurately identify whether the fingerprint is real, preventing others from using fake fingerprints to unlock the mobile phone.

[0073] Described above are only preferred embodiments of the present disclosure, which are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Any replacements and changes made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the disclosure shall fall within the scope of the disclosure defined by the appended claims.
