  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR STORAGE OF USER INFORMATION AND FOR VERIFYING USER IDENTITY
    Publication number: 20150269372
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for maintaining user profile information and allowing for biometric verification of the user's identity. The user stores or links to personal, financial, etc. information in a web page. The user can limit the types of information that is available to others. The information can be downloaded to a portable device. The information can be used for financial transactions, where the financial information is transmitted to a web site, an ATM, credit card machine, etc. for financial approval. The information can also be used to find other users with similar interest. The user stores selected characteristics that they would like to find in other users, which are compared with other user's profiles. Matching users are aided in locating one another, where they may then prove their identity to each other by biometrically verifying that they are the owner of the user profile.
