  • Patent number: 7079007
    Abstract: Systems and methods perform access control and mobile identity verification utilizing a memory, maybe on a handheld device, that stores at least biometric data, such as minutia. The handheld device may also store other data, such as a threshold value and Wiegand data. The data may be stored in a memory, a magnetic strip, a code, a bar code, or in all of these devices associated with the handheld device. The handheld device may be a SmartCard or the like. The threshold value may be a required value or parameter generated from input criteria based on biometric data read and extracted by an extracting system during an enrolling process. The threshold value is used during extracting, matching, or both, to most accurately determine the identity and characteristics of an individual wanting access to an accessed system or being questioned by law enforcement in the field.

  • Patent number: 7073711
    Abstract: A scanner section of a reader/scanner device that scans and stores biometric data of an individual with a biometric scanner section. A reader section reads and stores machine readable code data with a code reading section. The machine readable code can be associated with a handheld device held by the individual having their biometric data scanned. The reader/scanner device then decodes the code data and stores decoded data. The biometric data is extracted, either within the reader/scanner device or remotely after being transmitted to a remote device. The extracted biometric data is compared to the decoded data, either within the reader/scanner device or remotely after the decoded data is transmitted to a remote device, to determine if the individual is the person listed on the handheld device. If not, the biometric data can be used to determine their identity if they are in a main database.
