Abstract
This invention provides a fingerprint authentication mechanism for accessing the wireless network system that is applicable to a wireless network communications apparatus, the mechanism including the steps of inputting data of users' fingerprints and converting the same into matrix data compliant with wireless network authentication bit ciphers; setting thresholds for pattern identification with respect to the matrix data as an authentication basis for determining if the user has access rights to the network system upon receipt of a request signal for network connection sent from a user end; and analyzing if the captured fingerprint of the user matches with the preset authentication data to determine if the wireless network communications apparatus is to be started for network connection, thereby increasing the quality, usability and safety of the wireless network connection to achieve an easier scheme of information security management.
