A method performed by a biometric collection device, including: conveying a waiting signal to a user of the biometric collection device in response to the biometric collection device being waiting for at least one finger to be placed on the biometric collection device; capturing a flat fingerprint or a rolled finger print of the finger; and conveying a result signal to the user in response to the biometric collection device succeeding in or failing in capturing the flat fingerprint or the rolled finger print of the finger, wherein the waiting signal differs from the result signal in at least a length of lighting or a color.

Biometric collection device

A biometric collection device that includes a housing and a fingerprint sensor. The biometric collection device provides signals to a user by activating a first signal when the biometric collection device is ready to capture a fingerprint image from the fingerprint sensor, activates a second signal when the biometric collection device begins capturing the fingerprint image, and activates a third signal when the biometric collection device successfully captures the fingerprint image.
