Use your fingerprint to personalize logon to your computer. With Microsoft’s Windows 7 there is an increased focus on fingerprint recognition and usability.
Precise Biometrics (STO:PREC) has leveraged this new functionality into a computer logon solution for end-users, demonstrating the simplicity of biometrics.
The logon application offers a convenient way of personalizing the access to your computer and files using your fingerprint. It can be used with most swipe sensors on the market, such as laptop-integrated sensors. The readers have to be supported in Windows 7’s framework for biometric applications; Windows Biometric Framework (WBF).
