Patent number: 11874906Abstract: Traditionally, biometrics provides identification based on fingerprints, iris, or face to a vendor. The vendor's database can be hacked or a person's traditional biometrics can be stolen or compromised. Because an individual has only FFten fingers and two eyes, if compromised, secure identification becomes very difficult. A new approach for personal identification, leveraging “skin” biometrics, offers protection for individuals, and provides the ability to change their biometric identity by selecting a different patch of skin to use as skin identification. The biometric method and system provides biometric identification based on a small section of a person's skin. Skin biometrics is leveraged for positive identification of individuals. Skin biometrics captures a region of the subject's skin topography, then maps surface landmarks, creating a unique result that the user can provide in various authentication scenarios.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Inventor: Robert William Kocher

Patent number: 11170894Abstract: The Access and Temperature Monitoring system (ATMs) checks the identity and health of persons seeking access to a facility, building, event, airport border, or controlled area. It quickly checks the person's identity by recognizing the person, for example, by facial recognition, or by reading a unique token the person has, such as a smart card. If the person seeking access is recognized, the system quickly checks the health of the person. For example, a contactless measuring of core temperature is taken and is then compared to an on-file core temperature of the individual to see if it is elevated. If elevated, a secondary check is made by a precision medical instrument and compared to the precision data on file. Networking ATMs together to an Access Control Center will further assist in identifying virus outbreaks and reduce response time to assist in saving lives.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Inventors: Robert William Kocher, Douglas Earl Dyer, Loran Dean Ambs, John Shelly Bowling, II
