INFRARED BIOMETRICS INFORMATION COLLECTION DEVICE AND DOOR LOCKS HAVING THE SAME

The present disclosure relates to a door lock having an infrared biometrics information collection device. In certain embodiments, the door lock includes, a door with a door handle for opening the door, an infrared light source, and an infrared biometrics information collection sensor. The infrared light source includes one or more infrared light emitters. The infrared biometrics information collection sensor captures at least one infrared image of biometrics information of the one or more fingers of a target human hand. The fingers are positioned between the infrared light source and the infrared biometrics information collection sensor. The infrared light source irradiates infrared light through one or more fingers to generate infrared images of biometrics information of fingers to be captured by infrared biometrics information collection sensor, infrared images of biometrics information captured are used for user authentications, and the door lock can be unlocked by an authenticated user.
