1. Fingerprint Touchtm
The “Single Sign-on” mobile app
Overview
The way a person presses his/her touch screen is as unique as a fingerprint. Combine
that with a fingerprint scan and you have the most secure identification system on
earth. That is Fingerprint Touchtm
. Some key aspects to the technology:
• the pressure applied and surface area on the touch screen is saved.
• a database administrator is the only person with access to your personal data.
That administrator is a public officer for accountability.
• the IP address of the database server is saved on the mobile device to make
sure all subsequent messages originated from that server.
The above are part of a patentable system for a single sign-on site. The app will log
you into Google, Gmail, MSN, etc with just a single finger press.
Mobile Application
The first iteration of this will be an iPhone app for the 5S, although backward
compatibility will be a major goal. Fingerprint Touchtm
will be the first app you access
on your phone. Press your finger and all your manual usernames and passwords will be
centrally available. The server prototype framework is complete.
The app becomes a portal or entry-point to the internet while serving as a password
consolidation utility and automatic login utility.
The design and detailed specs for Fingerprint Touchtm
are complete.
Time to market
1. Finish the server-side application (1-2 weeks).
2. Develop the native application (4-6 weeks).
3. Create marketing materials (3-4 weeks).
Most likely within 7-8 weeks the Fingerprint Touchtm
app for the iPhone would be
available in the iPhone store. Android would be next.
Profits
Cost for the app will be free. Corporate partnerships and licensing will be the
revenue. Also, the portal itself can be leveraged for advertising data. Going forward,
security out of a spy novel might prevent identity theft forever.

Hire Objective-C developer $15,000
Write the server-side database $25,000
Retain IP lawyer (trademark and patent) $10,000
Initial marketing (press release and materials) $7,000
Website (including graphics, server and database) $8,000
Administrative (filing fees, copies, subscriptions, etc.) $3,000
Total $68,000
Round 1 will result in an iPhone app for the 5S in the App Store. Time to market <2
months.
Round 2 Financing
International IP lawyer (trademark and patent) $100,000
Marketing team (10 at $100,000 salary) $1,000,000
Travel (hotel, transportation, per diem) $2,200,000
Airfare $300,000
Retain marketing firm $500,000
Expenses (wine & dine) $500,000
Membership and subscriptions $150,000

Social media marketing $100,000
Salaries for administrative personnel $200,000
Salaries for management $500,000
Total $7,160,000
Round 2 will secure intellectual property globally. Marketing to phone manufacturers
and software companies to integrate the Fingerprint Touchtm
at major corporations
while marketing to the end consumer for market share. Round 2 financing will
provide funds for one year.
Round 3 Financing
TBD. This will include offices throughout the world for identity theft prevention and
restoration, including secure paper backup and DNA testing. This is highly dependent
on the partnerships built during Round 2 so cannot be estimated accurately. Round 3
financing might be generated through internal revenue (patent fees at the phone
manufacturer level). A buyout during Round 2 is very possible.

Screenshots
The “Single Sign-on” mobile app
This is a working application serving a secure image (chosen by the person) directly to
the phone after a successful "finger press" logon. The server code is solid and the
framework including database and most of the security is built along with the specs
for native app development.

FAQ
The “Single Sign-on” mobile app
The market?
All mobile phone users. Keeping track of all the usernames and passwords for various websites is the
problem. The initial Fingerprint Touchtm
app will consolidate them and auto log you in, if desired.
The competition?
The only perceived competition is the iPhone 5S, but that is largely due to a misunderstanding of the
technology. The 5S does an excellent job of imaging the fingerprint, however, is insufficient for
comparing a living person’s finger with the image. In other words, it can be faked pretty easily from
several different angles. In contrast, Fingerprint Touchtm
gives a tactile response that is remembered
by the person as well as adding some security features not found anywhere. Going forward, version two
will likely include adaptive response to the person's use.
The iPhone developers focused on detecting the image with sufficient granularity to pass any
comparison test, however, did not adequately address the living being part when comparing.
Fingerprint Touch works WITH the iPhone 5S technology. Not against.
Also, it is expected that Fingerprint Touch will be available on all phones with a basic touch screen.
The technology?
There are several approaches to detecting a human being actively pressing their finger on a touch
screen:
1. One approach is reading the pressure exerted. This might not be available on all mobile
devices.
2. A second approach is reading the pixels at the point that the phone responds.
3. A third approach is a timing mechanism combined with the image comparison. This is a clever
approach and might be part of the final solution, however, not my first choice. It might be the
base method chosen in the iPhone 5S.
The project is at a point where I need to hire an iPhone developer who understands hardware to make
sure the algorithms I have designed are right. I have a number of plans, however, do not know some
specifics in the LCD display to know which approach will work best. One of the approaches will, but
that will require some technical discussions of very high detail.
Each approach will work by itself and it might be a combination of those approaches and a few other
ideas that will be the final product. I kind of prefer the first approach at the moment, but might
change my mind depending on the hardware interface available on each phone. This is a very low level
API, and most developers have never even see that (a few game engine designers might be the
exception).
In any case, the above has not been done before and can be patented. Gaining market share through a
password consolidator opened with a fingerpress would be popular. Then the manufacturers will adopt
the technology with a patent fee attached, of course.
Two other parts to the technology are the server IP and identifier included in every message. This
leads into a discussion of an application framework or viewport that could be sold to developers to
simplify their HTML5 development. Essentially it would be a generic way for an HTML5 developer to
deploy to every device without concern for native functionality. This also includes total security, of
course. That might be another way to gain market share and another product itself.
The other part of the technology is a database administrator in an officer position for accountability.
This is a very important part.
