  • Patent number: 6920435
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 6269348
    Abstract: The invention satisfies these needs by providing 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. The method comprises a payor registration step, wherein the payor registers with an electronic third party identicator at least one registration biometric sample, and at least one payor credit/debit account. The payee registers a payee identification data with the electronic third party identicator. An electronic financial transaction is formed between the payor and the payee, comprising payee bid identification data, a transaction amount, and at least one payor bid biometric sample, wherein the bid biometric sample is obtained from the payor's person, in a transaction formation step. The payee bid identification data, the transaction amount, and payor bid biometric sample are electronically forwarded to the third party electronic identicator.
