UPEK, a developer of biometric fingerprint technologies, has launched its new family of touch control application for mobile phones with the introduction of its TCS5C TouchStrip fingerprint sensor.
The company said that the new application is based on its TouchStrip technology platform, and is integrated with on-sensor touch-processing capabilities that sense finger gestures and convert them into control information used for navigating a phone’s user interface.
UPEK claims that TCS5C provides mobile device makers with a combination of power savings, durability, security and industrial design flexibility.
According to the company the new TCS5C key featuresinclude, fingerprint recognition with anti-spoofing capability, small size, low power consumption, and integrated touch-control circuitry. These features provide ease-of-use, personalisation, security, and privacy.
Carl Temme, vice president of business development and strategic marketing at UPEK, said: “UPEK’s new TCS5C TouchStrip fingerprint sensor and our new family of touch control solutions for mobile phones will truly open up the wireless market for fingerprint and will continue UPEK’s long tradition of delivering OEMs the right features, performance, and value at the right time.”
