The Bio Sonar Security System (BSSS) software is installed on the computer. The proximity distance is set for the particular computer (the distance is software settable from 14 to 42 inches) and each user registers their fingerprint on the BSSS. The fingerprint minutia points are encrypted and stored on the computer. When the system is activated, any attempt to deactivate BSSS by means of removing the sonar device or biometric fingerprint scanner renders the computer inoperable
(until the devices are reattached).
When no active users are within the sonar range, the system is locked. The keyboard and mouse cease to function and the monitor is blanked out. As a user approaches the computer, the computer senses movement of a potential user and BSSS requests the user authenticate themselves via the fingerprint scanner. If the user is authenticated, the user is allowed access to the system.
When the user leaves the proximity of the sonar sensor, the system locks instantly, regardless of any activity on the system (i.e. an unauthorized person accessing the system by typing on the computer keyboard prior to the system locking).
When the same user returns, they are returned to the same screen that they left. If a different authorized user logs in, the computer logs the new user in and the previous user is logged out. This system does not use badges to identify the user or when the user leaves the proximity of the computer. This system is ideally suited for situations where there are many users for each computer. The cost savings of not having to badge many users may be substantial. This system is ideally suited for shop floor and kiosk applications. The BSSS is available with either an optical scanner or a silicone scanner.
