Abstract: A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.

Abstract: A system performs identification system enrollment and validation and/or authentication. In some examples, the system receives a digital representation of a biometric for a person from a device, biographic information for the person, and monitoring of capture of the biometric and determines whether the biometric is genuine. In others, the system obtains data from a network search using the biometric and the information, generates a comparison of the biometric and the information to the data from the network search, and uses the comparison to determine whether the person is who the person asserts. In still others, the system performs a number of identity checks using the information and the biometric, weights certainty and risk of each of the number of identity checks, and determines whether to approve the person for identification system enrollment using an aggregation of the identity checks.

Abstract: A modular biometric station system is used to form one or more modular biometric stations with cohesive form factors. Such biometric stations include a core unit, one or more end caps, and one or more modules. The modules may be configured to communicably and electrically couple to one or more of the end caps. The end caps may be configured to communicably and electrically couple to the core unit and/or one or more of the modules and may communicably and electrically couple one or more of the modules to the core unit. The core unit, end caps, and/or the modules may be able to communicably interact when coupled together. The core unit, end caps, and modules may all share a form factor. The core unit may include hardware and/or software that satisfies common requirements, and the modules may include peripherals and/or other components that can be coupled to the core unit to adapt the modular biometric station to a variety of different needs of different applications.

Abstract: An identification systems maintains digital identities for people and uses such digital identities to generate and/or provide one or more digital identification objects to one or more checkpoints. Such digital identification objects may be generated on the fly using identity information stored in association with the digital identities, stored, and so on. The identification system may generate the digital identification object in a format expected by the checkpoint, may have a trusted relationship with the checkpoint and/or may be configured to securely communicate with the checkpoint, and so on. In this way, the identification system may enable use of the automated and/or semi-automated checkpoints discussed above without requiring that people have a mobile driver's license and/or other government-issued digital identification stored on a mobile device that is capable of communicating with the automated and/or semi-automated checkpoints.
