Patent number: 9530066Abstract: The current document is directed to an ear-scan-based biometrics subsystem that is incorporated into any of a wide variety of processor-controlled devices, including mobile phones. The biometrics subsystem collects touch-point locations, device-orientation-representative angles, and, in certain implementations, additional data during each ear scan and uses the collected information to derive additional data that is stored with the collected data to generate a stored data representation of the ear scan. A first ear scan can be compared to a second ear scan to generate a matching score from weighted scores obtained from the touch-point locations and derived data, device-orientation-representative angles, and additional data within the stored data representations of the first and second ear scans. Ear-scan matching provides a basis for authentication of users and for compiling ear-scan profiles for users.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Descartes Biometrics, IncInventor: Michael Boczek

Publication number: 20060170530Abstract: A method, apparatus and system that allows an individual to authenticate his identity by storing his or her biometric profile and other information in a smart device. The smart device is always under the control of the owner during and after enrollment. The smart device holder's identity is authenticated by matching the stored fingerprint template against the live fingerprint of the smart device holder scanned on the smart device. When an enrolled smart device is within the proximity of a system radio frequency identification reader, the associated application via the radio frequency identification reader interacts with the smart device to authenticate the identity of the person holding the device. The smart device can also be attached to a personal computer, without a radio frequency identification reader via a wired interface. The application performs the applicable transaction only when the identity of the smart device holder is successfully authenticated.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2005Publication date: August 3, 2006Applicant: Enenia Biometrics, Inc.Inventors: Kingsley Nwosu, Daniel Nwosu, Zeribe Ezeanuna, William Agbemabiese
