compare the identifying characteristic information to stored user profiles for known users;

identify the current user as a known user;

retrieve user preferences for the known user; and

present the user preferences.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the stored user profiles and identifying characteristic information comprise facial features, voice, movement, body type, behavior, or combinations thereof.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors is further operable to recommend a product or service based on the user preferences.

4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the one or more processors is further operable to receive and process a payment request for the product or service.

5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the one or more processors is further operable to authenticate the user based on a matched user profile.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the current user comprises two or more people.

automatically collecting identifying characteristic information for a current user;

comparing, by one or more hardware processors of a service provider, the identifying characteristic information to stored user profiles for known users;

automatically collecting identifying characteristic information for a current user;

comparing the identifying characteristic information to stored user profiles for known users;

identifying the current user as a known user;

retrieving user preferences for the known user; and

presenting the user preferences.

16 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the stored user profiles and identifying characteristic information comprise facial features, voice, movement, body type, behavior, or combinations thereof.

17 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises recommending a product or service based on the user preferences.

18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the method further comprises receiving and processing a payment request for the product or service.

19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the current user comprises two or more people.

20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the method further comprises updating and storing a user preference.
