Abstract
An apparatus and method suitable for automatic machine interrogation of individuals for identifying or analyzing persons such as those seeking admittance to secure areas or seeking an extension of credit. Physical vibration wave energy is applied by a signal generator and transducer to the person's body at a selected point such as the finger tips. The frequency and/or the time function of force and/or motion parameters at the driving point of the body are then detected and stored. Comparison of a previously known function with a subsequently measured function to determine whether they are within preselected tolerances permits a machine decision whether the functions represent the same person.
