METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USER-ASSOCIATION OF VISUAL STIMULI WITH CORRESPONDING RESPONSES
Methods and systems permit a user to decide what different responses are triggered when different visual stimuli are presented to the user's wireless communications device.
1 . A method comprising:
receiving a proximity detector signal indicating that a proximity identifier device associated with an identification (ID) badge is near;
capturing machine-sensed personal identification of a holder of the ID badge;
capturing a badge photograph image having steganographically-encoded data;
extracting the steganographically-encoded data from the captured badge photograph image; and
checking if the captured machine-sensed personal identification of the holder of the ID badge corresponds to the extracted steganographically-encoded data.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine-sensed personal identification includes biometric data.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the biometric data includes a retinal scan.
4 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the biometric data includes a voice print.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the machine-sensed personal identification includes an image of the holder of the ID badge.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the proximity detector signal is a radio frequency identification (RFID) signal.
7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the an identification (ID) badge includes an unpowered proximity identifier circuit and a machine-sensed indicator.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the machine-sensed indicator is any one of a bar code, a magnetic strip, and an electronic chip.
9 . A controlled-access ID badge, the badge comprising:
a steganographically-encoded photograph containing encoded identification data corresponding to a correct badge holder; and
an unpowered electronic circuit configured to provide a unique signature signal upon excitation by a radiant field, wherein the unique signature signal is configured to trigger a capture of a machine-sensed personal identification of a current holder of the ID badge for comparison with extracted steganographically-encoded photograph to determine if the currect holder of the ID badge is the correct badge holder.
10 . The badge of claim 9 , wherein the machine-sensed personal identification includes biometric data.
11 . The badge of claim 10 , wherein the biometric data includes a retinal scan.
12 . The badge of claim 10 , wherein the biometric data includes a voice print.
13 . The badge of claim 9 , wherein the machine-sensed personal identification includes an image of the holder of the ID badge.
14 . The badge of claim 9 , wherein the unique signature signal is a radio frequency identification (RFID) signal.
15 . The badge of claim 9 , further comprising a machine-sensed indicator.
16 . The badge of claim 15 , wherein the machine-sensed indicator is any one of a bar code, a magnetic strip, and an electronic chip.
17 . A security system comprising:
a radiant field emitter;
a proximity detector configured to receive a proximity detector signal indicating that a
proximity identifier circuit associated with an identification (ID) badge is communicating a unique signature signal in response to excitation by a radiant field from the radiant field emitter;
a machine-sensing capture device configured to capture machine-sensed personal identification of a holder of the ID badge;
an image sensor that captures a badge photograph image having steganographically-encoded data; and
a processor configured to extract the steganographically-encoded data from the captured badge photograph image and check if the captured machine-sensed personal identification of the holder of the ID badge corresponds to the extracted steganographically-encoded data.
18 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the machine-sensed personal identification includes biometric data.
19 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the machine-sensed personal identification includes an image of the holder of the ID badge.
20 . The system of claim 17 , wherein the unique signature signal is a radio frequency identification (RFID) signal.
