"FingerPro"

Fingerprint Transmission System
by
Automation Designs & Solutions, Inc.

“FingerPro” Fingerprint Transmission System provides a low cost, high quality solution to the problem of delivery of fingerprint cards to Mississippi Criminal Information Center (MCIC) and subsequently to the FBI for a fingerprint background check. And it’s all possible with an inexpensive scanner and FTS software by AD&S that has been certified by the FBI and MCIC. FTS is fully compliant with all ANSI/NIST requirements.

 “FingerPro” FTS is a pc-based workstation that is designed to accommodate demographic data entry, scan the applicant’s fingerprint card, create the transaction file, electronically transmit it to the FBI through Mississippi Criminal Information Center (MCIC, a division of the Mississippi Public Safety Patrol), and automatically download responses from the FBI and MCIC.

 “FingerPro” FTS is designed for three types of transactions: arrest (criminal) cards, applicant cards, and DOC (Department of Corrections) cards.  

·        Fast textual and image data input (2-3 minutes per one ten-print card)

·        Electronic, paperless submission of fingerprints for background check

·        Automatic downloading electronic responses from the FBI and MCIC (an average response from MCIC is about 30 minutes, and from the FBI – about 2-3 hours)

·        Automatic generation of a variety of letter forms (in 90% of cases, printing letters requires 2 seconds to fulfill all of the printing job)

·        “One click” automatic printing of all output documents to several printer trays simultaneously (stationary, plain paper, envelopes, etc.)

·        Secure access to the system

·        Flexible manual tools

·        Powerful searching and filtering functions

·        Flexible settings to accommodate user’s specific requirements

·        Capability to re-submit fingerprints without new scanning

·        Full history of every record

Installation of “FingerPro” FTS system in the Mississippi State Department of Health cut submission and response time from approximately 12 WEEKS to approximately 3 HOURS.

Below are shown some sample screens of the "FingerPro" FTS user interface.

The login screen provides access security.  User names and passwords are assigned by the System Administrator with rights allocated accordingly.

The system has a user-friendly design. In the main user interface all data can be edited and revised at any stage. Also, many dates and demographic data can be specified to filter the list of records in the main user interface. Before a case is closed by the system, the record passes through several stages to input textual and image data, create and submit transaction file, check responses, print letters to an applicant and to a facility, and to finalize the case. With just one click the operator can begin all these procedures.

The interface for textual data input provides help screens, defaults, lookup lists, etc. to simplify the input procedure. For the user’s convenience all textual data is separated into tabs with case related data and personal data as shown below.

In the textual data input screen the operator has several options to proceed: 1) save data, 2) go to scanning interface, 3) start a new card without having to exit to the main interface, or 4) exit to the main interface (with or without saving data changes).

After scanning, a preview of the scanned image is provided. The operator can re-locate the grid to find the best correlation between the grid and fingerprint boxes on the FBI standard ten-print card.

Other features provide optional storage of prints for re-submission when necessary, status updates, responses analyzer, printing letters, and much more.

The user manual provides samples of many of the screens including letters that are automatically generated. The system administrator’s rights include configuration of communication settings, management of users, updating lookup tables in accordance with the MCIC current version, etc.
