System and method for enrolling in a biometric system
View Patent ↗A system and method for enrolling in a biometric authorization system. A system user may be authorized to enroll by providing biometric data from both his person and a third party token.
1. A method for enrolling a user in a biometric authorization system, the method comprising:
receiving, from a first biometric input device enabled to acquire biometric data stored on a token, a token biometric sample;
receiving, from a second biometric input device enabled to acquire biometric data via a live biometric scan of an individual, a live biometric sample;
comparing said received token biometric sample with said received live biometric sample;
in response to said received live biometric sample matching said received token biometric sample, storing in a user record a new biometric sample, the new biometric sample being a composite of at least a portion of the received live biometric data and at least a portion of the received token biometric data;
associating with the user record an integrity rating, said integrity rating indicating an evaluated integrity of the token, wherein the evaluated integrity of the token is based on a token source, a token generation process, and a token generation location; and
granting the user a level of access to the biometric authorization system based upon the associating of the user record with the integrity rating.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a user identification code.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said biometric data is one or more of a fingerprint, an iris scan, a facial scan, a voice scan, a retinal scan, a hand architecture, and a DNA sample.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising authorizing a request for a financial transaction.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising authorizing a request for an age-verification transaction.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising authorizing a request for an identity verification transaction.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said user record is located at one or more of a database and a token.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving additional information from one or more of a biometric token, magnetic ink character recognition data reader, a barcode reader, a digital scanner, a manual input device, a radio frequency identification device, an embedded data chip reader, a magnetic stripe reader, optical character recognition device and a database.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving additional information including one or more of a user name, a user address, a user phone number, a user email address, a user social security number, user age information, a user identification number, a government-issued identification number, user financial account information, and biometric token information.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising storing at least part of said additional information in said user record.
11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising storing a recording of one or more of said user, a system operator, and an enrollment event.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein said recording includes one or more of an image and a video recording.
13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising comparing said image to a registered image.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein said registered image is retrieved from a database.
15. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a live video transmission of said enrolling.
16. The method of claim 1 , further comprising limiting user access to said biometric authorization system until said received token biometric sample is evaluated by one or more of an automated system process, a third party, and a system operator.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein said system operator is at a remote location.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein said comparing is performed at one or more of a local biometric device and a database.
