Iris-Pattern Recognition for Camera Phones
Using iris-pattern authentication
on a camera phone (simulation)
OKI developed Japan's first mobile iris-pattern recognition technology, which can be integrated into a camera-equipped mobile phone and used to identify people based on iris patterns.
As mobile phones have grown more sophisticated, a variety of new services have been made available for them. At the same time, however, there has been demand for more advanced security functions in order to prevent abuse of lost or stolen mobile phones and ensure services are provided securely. Using iris patterns, which are both complicated and highly random, enables identity to be verified with a high degree of precision. In turn, this gives a greater sense of security to people who use their mobile phones to make payments and conduct other such transactions.
In July 2007, we announced the launch of a middleware software product for incorporating iris-pattern authentication into mobile devices like mobile phones and PDAs. Going forward, we plan to provide even more products that deliver optimal security.
More Advanced Security Processes Using eVideo
eVideo is technology for compressing and sending high quality video that has been proprietarily optimized by OKI and is compatible with video encoding formats established by international standardization organizations, including MPEG-4 and H.264. OKI provides a variety of products that use this technology to enable more advanced security processes and make society safer.
VisualCast VBOX-S/500 Digital Video Recorder
The VisualCast VBOX-S/500 is a digital video recorder that can connect with up to 16 surveillance cameras, including networked cameras. Along with digital recording and a networking function that makes centralized monitoring possible, the product is also equipped with a behavior detection and verification feature that automatically detects movement of suspicious persons and the like through the video content analysis.
ML86410 MPEG-4 Encoder LSI
The ML86410 is an encoder LSI that compresses video to the MPEG-4 format. OKI provides a reference design as well as a high quality viewer software SDK for building surveillance camera systems using this LSI. Using this package, customers are able to easily build original, high-grade surveillance systems in a short period of time.
