FbF® mobileOne
Biometric Fingerprint Accessory for iPod Touch
Click Here to download the FbF mobileOne datasheet.
The FbF mobileOne is a portable biometric fingerprint collection
accessory specially designed for the iPod touch (2nd, 3rd, and 4th
generations). The mobileOne docks with the iPod touch using a secure
yet removable cradle or sleeve allowing the iPod to be docked or
undocked rapidly and easily. The mobileOne connects to and securely
communicates with the iPod through the Apple 30 pin connector.
Constructed of durable ABS plastics and weighing in at just 0.4
pounds when docked and ready to operate, the mobileOne is designed for
the ultimate in portability. The device sports a smooth low profile
making it possible to carry the unit (docked with the iPod touch) in a
back pocket or cargo pocket easily. When it comes to power, the
mobileOne unit is not found lacking. The unit is equipped with a
1200 mAh rechargeable Lithium Ion internal battery. This allows
the device to run for 9 hours or more on battery power in scanning
mode. The device also may be recharged "on the fly" through the USB
mini port located on the bottom of the unit making it possilbe to
operate the device continuously if a 5V power supply is available. The
mobileOne neither provides power to nor draws power from the iPod
touch. Recharging the device from a totally drained battery takes
approximately 4 hours when connected to a standard 5V USB power source
such as a desktop or laptop USB port. The device comes with a
recharging cable included.
In order to comply with the demands of standards based biometric
applications, the mobileOne comes equipped with a FIPS 201/PIV
compliant fingerprint sensor from AuthenTec. The built in fingerprint
sensor provides a full 256 bit grayscale, 508 dpi image suitable for
the most demanding 1:N identification challenges. Fingerprint capture,
quality check and image transfer to the iPod takes approximately 700
milliseconds from the time a finger is placed on the sensor surface. A
full set of ten PIV compliant fingerprint images can be collected
within approximately 25 seconds for an experienced user. By using the
built in multi-megapixel camera on the iPod Touch, in combination with
the mobileOne's fingerprint sensor, it is possible to capture all ten
fingerprints plus a full set of 5 facial images (90, 45, 0, 45, 90) in
less than 1 minute.
FbF mobileOne Features
- Durable shell constructed of ABS Plastic
- Easily removable cradle for docking and undocking the iPod
- FIPS201/PIV certified fingerprint scanner
- Durable fingerprint scanner rated for +1,000,000 touches
- Automatic fingerprint detection (autocapture)

Benefits of Using the FbF
mobileOne
By using the powerful native features of the iPod touch including
substantial data storage capacity, WiFi networking, high resolution
graphics, touch interface with full qwerty keyboard and the ability to
play sounds including voice prompts in any language, developers can
rapidly develop and deploy secure mission specific applications for
simple or sophisticated users alike using the mobileOne. When used for
biometric authentication as part of an overall security program, the
mobileOne can help reduce the hassles of password overload, decrease
the risks of security breaches, improve accountability and add true
non-repudiation for products that integrate its fingerpint
identification capability.

Software Product Compatibility
The FbF mobileOne is a fingerprint image capturing accessory for Apple
iPod touch devices. No applications will run on the mobileOne
unit except the operating system and communications needed to provide
fingerprint images to the iOS device docked with the mobileOne.
Fulcrum Biometrics has currently published a free simple finger
scanning App on the iTunes store known as "mobileOne". This simple App
demonstrates the excellent speed and image quality of the mobileOne
device only. Fulcrum Biometrics has also published an iOS Library knows and the
FbF(TM) mobileOne iOS Library. This library will allow App developers to communicate with the mobileOne decive in order to develop their own fingerprint enabled applications. Fulcrum Biometrics will be publishing Apps that
support mobileOne to the App Store to support specific customer
requirements. In the near future, Fulcrum Biometrics will make
available for purchase tools which will allow developers to perform on board
fingerprint and facial identification. Developers will not be allowed to
interface with the mobileOne without using the Fulcrum Biometrics
provided API. Below is the list of products
that are under development for use with the FbF mobileOne
scanner.
Supported Software Development Kits:
FbF
(TM) mobileOne iOS Library
FbF
(TM) iOS Fingerprint Identification Library
FbF
(TM) iOS Face Identification Library
Note: The FbF iOS Finger and Face Identification Libraries have not yet been published.
