Abstract: An identity verification system and method for monitoring transactions has a point of transaction input component configured for inputting information pertaining to the identity of a person involved in a transaction and for inputting a transaction amount. A biometric scanner is provided for scanning a unique and identifiable physical attribute of the person and thereupon generating scanned biometric data. A controller communicates with the point of transaction input component and the biometric scanner. A remote input component is provided for inputting financial data field parameters. A database communicates with the controller for storing reference biometric data. The controller is configured for comparing the scanned biometric data with the reference biometric data to determine if there is a substantial match and for comparing the transaction amount to the financial data field parameters to determine if the transaction amount meets the financial data field parameters for validating the transaction.

Abstract: A pin-style cargo seal that includes a pin and a tracking module. The tracking module is removably securable to the pin and allows the seal to be tracked while the seal is in transit. The tracking module may be removed from the pin so that the tracking module may be reused.

Abstract: An integrated radio frequency identification system includes a locking assembly affixed to a shipping container and a tracking module having a RFID device in electrical communication with the locking assembly. The tracking module includes integrated GPS components enabling communication with GPS satellites. A machine readable computer software and terminal assembly is provided and is capable of communication with the RFID device via one of a plurality of communication protocols. The computer software and terminal assembly is capable of generating a transit map of a location and status of the tracking module over a predetermined time period, thus graphically depicting a historical transit path of the tracking module.

Abstract: A tracking system for use in identifying individuals of a group, each of the individuals having an associated data set indicative of the identity of those individuals, includes an electromagnetic identification apparatus configured with each of the individuals for providing an electromagnetic identification signal indicative of the content data set of that apparatus; a writer for use in encoding the electromagnetic identification signals with signals indicative of the individual onto the electromagnetic identification apparatus; a controller for receiving the encoded signals and for storing the encoded signals in a master database storage apparatus; and a reader remotely positioned from the controller and configured for communicating with the electromagnetic identification apparatus and receiving the encoded signals therefrom corresponding to the content data signal set, the reader also for providing the controller with signals indicative of the same.
