Dome multi-biometric scanner

1. A multi-function biometric scanner comprising:

a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface; and

a plurality of biometric sensors that are disposed within the housing and that are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from a user, each biometric sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics,

wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images and the plurality of biometrics are compared to identifying information that is stored in one or more databases.

2. The multi-function biometric scanner according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

3. The multi-function biometric scanner according to claim 1 , wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

4. The multi-function biometric scanner according to claim 1 , wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.

5. A method for operating a multi-function biometric scanner, the method comprising:

detecting a user's engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner comprises a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface;

concurrently detecting a plurality of biometrics of the user, wherein a plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images and the plurality of biometric sensors are disposed within the housing and are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from the user, each biometric sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics; and

comparing the plurality of biometrics to identifying information that is stored in one or more threat databases to identify a person of interest.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

7. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.

9. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by a processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

detecting a user's engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner comprises a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface;

concurrently detecting a plurality of biometrics of the user, wherein a plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images and the plurality of biometric sensors are disposed within the housing and are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from the user, each biometric sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics; and

comparing the plurality of biometrics to identifying information that is stored in one or more threat databases to identify a person of interest.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 9 , wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.

13. A device comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory memory storing one or more programs for execution by the processor, the one or more programs including instructions for:

detecting a user's engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner comprises a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface;

concurrently detecting a plurality of biometrics of the user, wherein a plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images and the plurality of biometric sensors are disposed within the housing and are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from the user, each biometric sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics; and

comparing the plurality of biometrics to identifying information that is stored in one or more threat databases to identify a person of interest.

14. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

15. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

16. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.
