Abstract

A fingerprint entry and engine starting system, including a computerized video recorder, and transmitter installed in a driver's door of a vehicle housing a transparent shield. The recorder is perpendicular via position under this transparent shield. Since this shield is installed in the vehicle's door handle, a legal user will press the shield upon its left side portion, such as to start the vehicle's engine. As a result, whenever the righthand portion upon the shield is pushed by a legal user, the vehicle's door-locks are freed. This is done when the recorder is actuated whereas a fingerprint of a user is transformed from optical information to computer data when the shield is pressed. This data is transmitted and compared with preset data, such that when this preset data stored in a memory matches with transformed data, coils via actuators for releasing the vehicle's door-locks are actuated. An ignition switch actuates a motor of an engine starter also, as a match is defined, which drives the starter and starts the engine of the vehicle. This is accomplished, when an activating signal is outputted from a CPU. This CPU defines the memory whereby outputting the activating signal only, whenever the shield is pushed by a legal user for actuating two pushbutton switches. Four fingerprint input pushbutton switches outwardly upon the door causes one power window, a heater, a trunk and a hood to be operated also, before entering the vehicle without a key.
