Abstract
Arrangement and method for identifying fingerprints, including at least one fingerprint sensor and at least two electrodes, wherein a fingerprint can be detected by the sensor. A first electrode is arranged in the vicinity of a hand support surface at a distance from the support surface such that when a finger is placed on the support surface, the thumb can be placed on the first electrode. At least one second electrode is arranged on the support surface such that at least one finger can be placed on the second electrode. The sensor and the first electrode and/or the at least one second electrode are each designed as one unit. Electric signals are transmitted to the hand via the electrodes by a measuring unit for applying and analyzing the electric signals, and the changes of the electric signals are detected. An identification result is ascertained using the detected fingerprints and signals.
