Abstract

An identification station is operable to obtain digital representations of biometrics for people and communicate these digital representations of biometrics over one or more networks to an identification system device in order to identify the people for a variety of different purposes. The identification station also stores data related to previous biometric identifications in a local cache for one or more time windows. Upon obtaining a digital representation of a biometric, the identification station may first check if the digital representation of the biometric corresponds to data in the local cache. If so, the identification station may omit communicating with the identification system device. Otherwise, the identification station may communicate with the identification system device to identify the person, as well as store the digital representation of the biometric in the local cache for the one or more time windows.

Abstract

A medical screening system includes one or more request devices, screening servers, and measurement and/or other testing devices. These devices communicate to receive one or more requests for screening, perform the screening, obtain measurements and/or test results for the screening, and allow and/or deny access based on the screening. In some examples, the testing devices may be home test kits. In various examples, the measurements and/or test results may be verified and/or verified as corresponding to a particular identity. In a number of examples, different confidence levels may be determined using different measurements and/or test results and different access may be allowed and/or denied based on the different determined confidence levels.

Abstract

A system uses a digital representation of a biometric to match and/or dedupe first and second records respectively stored in first and second systems. In various examples, an identification system may be used to determine an identity using a digital representation of a biometric, locate a first record in the first system and a second record in a second system, and dedupe the first and second records. In a number of examples, an identification system may be used to locate a first record in a first system and a second record in a second system using identity information, determine that the first record and second record cannot be verified as associated with a same person within a threshold certainty, and determine whether a person associated with the first record is associated with the second record using a digital representation of a biometric for the person.

Abstract

A system provides intelligent gallery management for biometrics. A first gallery is obtained that includes biometric and/or other information on a population of people. An application is identified. A subset of the population of people is identified based on the application. A second gallery is derived from the first gallery by pulling the information for the subset of the population of people without pulling the information for the population of people not in the subset. Biometric identification (such as facial recognition) for the application may then be performed using the second gallery rather than the first gallery. In this way, the system is improved as less time is required for biometric identification, fewer device resources are used, and so on.

Abstract

In physical token-less security screening using biometrics, a person provides biometric data to a security computing device as part of a security screening. The biometric data is used by the security computing device to look up an identifier (such as an airline account identifier or a security status identifier) for the person from a security back end. The identifier is used by the security computing device to obtain electronic pass information (such as an electronic boarding pass or a security screening status indicator) from a third party computing system (such as an airline computing system or a clearinghouse), which may be used to clear the person and/or otherwise facilitate the security screening. In some implementations, these techniques may also be used for physical token-less pass processing (such as boarding pass-less airline processing, confirmation of assigned traveling credentials, or determination of security protocols).

Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system for verifying the identity of a user in an identity authentication and biometric verification system to initiate a financial transaction. The method includes receiving in an identity verification system biometric data obtained from a user desiring to initiate a financial electronic transaction and obtaining stored biometric data associated with the user from memory. The received biometric data is compared with the obtained biometric data to confirm a match so as to generate a Return Session ID Token configured to authorize the desired financial transaction in a financial transaction system.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method and system for verifying the identity of a user in an identity authentication and biometric verification system which includes collecting information from the user regarding the user's identity, which is then electronically authenticated. Upon authentication, personal information regarding the verified identity of the user is retrieved from a source database which is used to verify the identity of the user, via user interaction. Upon successful verification and authentication, biometric data regarding the user is electronically collected.
