Patent number: 7319987Abstract: The present invention shows a method and a device system for tokenless authorization of commercial transactions between a user and a seller. The user registers at least one registration biometric sample, and at least one user financial account. The seller registers with the computer system at least one seller financial account. The seller offers a proposed commercial transaction to the user, which includes price information. The user accepts the seller's proposed commercial transaction by adding to the proposed commercial transaction the user's personal authentication information. The bid biometric sample is forwarded to the computer system. The computer system compares the bid biometric sample with registration biometric samples. Upon successful match, a financial account of the user is debited and a financial account of the seller is credited, wherein a commercial transaction is conducted without the user having to use any portable man-made memory devices such as smartcards or swipe cards.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1998Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: Indivos CorporationInventors: Ned Hoffman, David Ferrin Pare, Jr., Jonathan Alexander Lee, Philip Dean Lapsley

Patent number: 6920435Abstract: The invention discloses a tokenless biometric identification computer system, comprising at least a database containing registered biometric samples of users. A comparator compares a bid biometric sample of a user to at least one registered biometric sample, the bid biometric sample obtained directly from the user during an identification process for conducting an electronic transaction by the user. A stored audio signature is associated with a transaction processor entity, which the transaction processor entity is responsible for conducting the electronic transaction. A sound generator generates an analog or digital signal from the stored audio signature, and a transducer converts the analog or digital signal to a play back audio signature.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2002Date of Patent: July 19, 2005Assignee: Indivos CorporationInventors: Ned Hoffman, David Ferrin Pare, Jr., Jonathan Alexander Lee, Philip Dean Lapsley

Patent number: 6879966Abstract: The invention provides a method and device for tokenless authorization of an electronic payment between a payor and a payee using an electronic third party identicator and at least one payor bid biometric sample. In a payor registration step, the payor registers with an electronic third party identicator at least one registration biometric sample, and at least one payor financial account identifier. The payee registers a payee identification data with the electronic third party identicator. A payee bid identification data and a payor bid biometric sample collected from the payor's person are electronically forwarded to the third party electronic identicator. A comparator engine compares the bid biometric sample with at least one registered biometric sample for producing either a successful or failed identification of the payor.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2001Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: Indivos CorporationInventors: Philip Dean Lapsley, Jonathan Alexander Lee, David Ferrin Pare, Jr., Ned Hoffman

Patent number: 6131464Abstract: The invention discloses a biometric input apparatus for obtaining a high quality image of the finger of a user. The biometric input apparatus has a finger image scanner which in turn has a contact surface where the user places their finger upon prior to scanning, means for obtaining an electronic image of the finger of the user that is placed on the contact surface, and a pressure sensor for detecting the amount of pressure that is applied by the finger of the user to the contact surface. In a preferred embodiment, the finger image scanner also has a logic device that measures the amount of pressure exerted by the finger of the user and compares said pressure to a predetermined threshold pressure value. In a most preferred embodiment the improved finger image scanner further has a feedback loop, wherein the logic device prompts the user to increase or decrease the pressure applied to the contact surface.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1998Date of Patent: October 17, 2000Assignee: SmartTouch, Inc.Inventors: David Ferrin Pare, Jr., Philip Dean Lapsley, Jonathan Alexander Lee
