Think about that unconfortable moment when you are about to pay for coffee and you
find out your wallet was left at home and not have enough change?
Well , a
new card less payment will let you pay by scanning your hand so you can never
to worry about carry having an embarrassed time
The
PulseWallet syncs your credit card to the palm through the device ‘s internal
biometric technology.
Fujitsu has
shown off PulseWallet at CES 2014, a payment system that identifies you by
scanning the unique pattern of veis in your hand.
A
partnership between Fujitsu and PulseWallet, it uses a biometric scanner to
register the pattern of veins in your palm- like fingerprints, these are unique
to each individual. The system uses near infrared light to capture the palmar
veins. This pattern is then registered to the user and take less than a second
making for the transaction.
It uses a
system of biometric authentication called PalmSecure, a technology Fujitsu has
been working on since 2005. According to Fujitsu , it has a false rate of 0.00008
per cent
"From the very beginning, we were looking for an extremely secure
and highly accurate form of strong biometric authentication technology to
integrate with our solution. Customer registration has to work smoothly for all
consumers and verification at POS must occur quickly," said PulseWallet
CEO and co-founder Aimann Rasheed. "We evaluated other forms of biometric
authentication and we were most impressed with Fujitsu's PalmSecure technology
because of its speed, accuracy and flexibility."
