Annotation

This document contains a set of symbols, icons and pictograms to help the general public understand the concepts and procedures for using electronic systems that collect and/or process fingerprints. This set of symbols, icons and pictograms is designed to be used to

— identify the type of biometric device,

— provide static instructions related to a fingerprint device,

— display dynamic real-time information related to the fingerprint device, and

— indicate the status of the fingerprint device.

To provide this functionality, the set of symbols, icons and pictograms includes both directional symbols, icons and pictograms and real-time action or feedback symbols, icons and pictograms. The fingerprint device symbols, icons and pictograms can be categorized as

— finger/hand general biometric,

— kind of finger, four fingers or hand device, — finger/hand placement,

— biometric position and impression which needs to be presented next,

— hand orientation (switched hands),

— finger/hand quality feedback,

— press (more or less),

— raise/lower angle,
