Tramax, Visionox and STMicroelectronics launch economical and secure invisible mobile phone face authentication system

• Exhibiting a production-grade face verification solution that is invisible under the mobile phone screen at Mobile World Congress 2024 (Tronmax Booth: Hall 6, Booth E68; STMicroelectronics Booth: Hall 7, Booth 7A61)
  

  
  

• The system includes Visionox's integrated translucent OLED screen, STMicroelectronics' high-performance global shutter CMOS image sensor, Transmax's sensor module design and safe living body detection algorithm

  
  

• Expected to appear in new series of smartphones within six to nine months, system cost will be market competitive

February 27, 2024 - China - trinamiX, ​​the market's top biometric solution provider, has developed an invisible face authentication system for smartphones in cooperation with major partners Visionox and STMicroelectronics . Visionox, the world's leading manufacturer of advanced display total solutions, provides a translucent OLED screen for the system, allowing the face authentication module to be installed invisible under the mobile phone screen. The screen can be integrated directly into a smartphone at a competitive cost and without the need to design it from scratch. STMicroelectronics, a world-leading semiconductor company serving multiple electronic applications, brings global shutter CMOS image sensors with excellent near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity optimized to the system. The advanced face authentication system, which consists of small-sized hardware, advanced Thromax algorithms and a translucent OLED screen, is expected to ship six to nine months from now, allowing OEMs to integrate this advanced system into new series of smartphones. solution.

Go to the 2024 Mobile World Congress at the Thrmax booth (Hall 6 E68) and the STMicroelectronics booth (Hall 7 No. 7A61) to experience secure smartphone face authentication

Visitors to Mobile World Congress in Barcelona will be able to experience first-hand the Tramax micro face authentication module, which measures only 13 x 8 x 4.4 mm. Small in size but full of features , it includes flood lighting, spot lighting and a camera module based on STMicroelectronics’ global shutter image sensor optimized for near-infrared (NIR) sensitivity.

David Maucotel, Business Line Director, Industrial and Mass Market Products, Imaging Sub-Products, STMicroelectronics, said: “Our global shutter image sensor has the industry’s best pixels and advanced performance, and is ideally suited for use with Tramax’s secure facial authentication system. It’s a perfect combination. The sensor is ideal for developing small-sized camera modules and is very easy to integrate into smartphones. The new solution we developed together with our partners further demonstrates ST’s world-class in-house R&D capabilities and establishes ST’s position in the industry. Pioneer and leader in face verification technology in personal electronics and other fields."

Visionox provided the project with high-performance translucent OLED screens, which are currently priced in the same price range as state-of-the-art panels.

Visionox's technical management said: "Visionox has created products that are truly at the forefront of innovation. With its technological heritage and pioneering spirit, Tramax is an ideal partner and the perfect partner to realize our desire to develop innovative products." Max's secure face authentication is a representative example. Given our market size, we have the ability to quickly, cost-effectively and reliably provide this technology in large quantities, helping Chuang Max's face authentication products achieve market success."

Stefan Metz, Head of Asia Smartphone Business at Tramax, said: “Our focus is on achieving the right balance of premium performance and cost-effectiveness. Thanks to our partners Visionox and STMicroelectronics, OEMs can now make it easier to integrate our solutions into their new generation products. At Mobile World Congress, we expect the live demonstration of Tramax Face Authentication to generate significant interest."

Tramax face authentication and liveness detection patented technology

Tramax face authentication integrates conventional 2D face detection and recognition with Tramax's unique real-skin live detection technology, which not only improves the security of identity verification, but also brings the convenience of a contactless solution.

Tramax face authentication meets the highest biometric security requirements set by the International Internet Financial Authentication Alliance (IIFAA), FIDO Alliance and Android (Google Android). Therefore, Tramax face authentication has been approved to be integrated into Android phones and used in application scenarios with particularly high security requirements, such as digital payment processes. Its unique performance is based on the patented algorithm at the bottom of the system that detects human skin to verify whether it is a real living body. It is precisely because of this new algorithm that Tramax face authentication has become the first solution to pass the above certifications. At the same time, the hardware can be installed invisible under the OLED screen.
