Abstract

PURPOSE:To complete a security function by limiting the operators of a computer with use of a fingerprint discriminating switch. CONSTITUTION:A fingerprint discriminating switch 2 compares the fingerprint shown in a pushed switch with the fingerprint information stored previously and then outputs an On signal to a power unit 4 when the matching is obtained in the comparison. In other words, a fingerprint information input switch 5 outputs the signals to the unit 4 for supply the electric power to a fingerprint deciding device 7 and a fingerprint information storage 6 when the switch 5 is pushed by a finger. The switch 5 also outputs the fingerprint information of the person who pushed the switch 5 to the device 7. The device 7 compares the fingerprint information inputted via the switch 5 with that outputted from the storage 6 and then outputs an ON signal supplying the power to an operational processor 3 to the unit when matching is secured between both fingerprint information. Therefore the persons except those who are previously registered are unable to operate a computer 1.
