Development on Recognition and Control System of the rhythm Code Based on Characteristics of the Psychological Rhythm TianWenJie,LiShuFen (Automation Institute of BEIJING Union University , BEIJING ,100101,China) Abstract: This article introduced a kind of pattern recognition method the rhythm code with the psychological rhythm characteristics by use of DSP. The hand was keeping block infrared through a swinging rhythm to input the password, which was compared with the pre-stored password pattern to recognize. Confirmed passwords could be allowed to control and open the lock. In order to adapt the structure simplification and the demand of password hiding operation, the input device was simplified to only use a reflective infrared sensor to replace the usual numeric keyboard, a two-color LED diode to replace other display units. Its hardware circuit and software design ware mainly described. The results demonstrated the validity of all the methods proposed in the dissertation, and the test showed this system had high reliability. Key word: characteristics of rhythm; DSP; pattern recognition; Infrared; password operation
