Information technology - Cross-jurisdictional and societal aspects of implementation of biometric technologies - Pictograms, icons and symbols for use with biometric systems - Part 4: Fingerprint applications

ISO/IEC 24779-4:2017 contains a set of symbols, icons and pictograms to help the general public understand the concepts and procedures for using electronic systems that collect and/or process fingerprints. This set of symbols, icons and pictograms is designed to be used to

- identify the type of biometric device,

- provide static instructions related to a fingerprint device,

- display dynamic real-time information related to the fingerprint device, and

- indicate the status of the fingerprint device.

To provide this functionality, the set of symbols, icons and pictograms includes both directional symbols, icons and pictograms and real-time action or feedback symbols, icons and pictograms. The fingerprint device symbols, icons and pictograms can be categorized as

- finger/hand general biometric,

- kind of finger, four fingers or hand device,

- finger/hand placement,

- biometric position and impression which needs to be presented next,

- hand orientation (switched hands),

- finger/hand quality feedback,

- press (more or less),

- raise/lower angle,

- finger/hand positioning,

- hand/finger orientation,

- necessary finger/hand movement (forward, backward, lateral)
