Biometric pre-identification
A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.
1. A system for biometric pre-identification, comprising:
a biometric pre-identification device; and
a financial device; wherein:
the biometric pre-identification device is configured to:
obtain a digital representation of a biometric for a person prior to arrival of the person at the financial device; and
determine an identity of the person using the digital representation of the biometric; and
the financial device is configured to:
receive an indication of the identity from the biometric pre-identification device; and
verify that the identity corresponds to a payment account used via the financial device after the arrival of the person at the financial device.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the financial device obtains information for the payment account that is associated with the identity.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the financial device obtains information for the payment account from the person after the arrival of the person at the financial device.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the financial device receives a risk associated with the person from the biometric pre-identification device.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biometric pre-identification device comprises a mobile device associated with the person.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biometric pre-identification device obtains the digital representation of the biometric for the person via an image sensor.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biometric pre-identification device determines the identity of the person using the digital representation of the biometric by transmitting the digital representation of the biometric to a backend.
8. A system for biometric pre-identification, comprising:
a biometric pre-identification device; and
a financial device; wherein:
the biometric pre-identification device is configured to:
obtain a digital representation of a biometric for a person prior to arrival of the person at the financial device; and
determine an identity of the person using the digital representation of the biometric; and
the financial device is configured to:
receive an indication of the identity from the biometric pre-identification device; and
use information associated with the identity to facilitate a financial transaction after the arrival of the person at the financial device.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the biometric comprises at least a portion of a face of the person.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the biometric comprises at least a portion of a retina of the person.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the biometric comprises at least a portion of an iris of the person.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the financial device facilitates the financial transaction by verifying that the person is authorized to engage in the financial transaction.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the financial device facilitates the financial transaction by verifying that the person is authorized to use a payment account associated with the financial transaction.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the financial device facilitates the financial transaction by processing a payment for the financial transaction.
15. A system for biometric pre-identification, comprising:
a biometric pre-identification device; and
an accommodation station; wherein:
the biometric pre-identification device is configured to:
obtain a digital representation of a biometric for a person prior to arrival of the person at the accommodation station; and
determine an identity of the person using the digital representation of the biometric; and
the accommodation station is configured to:
receive an indication of the identity from the biometric pre-identification device; and
perform an action if the identity corresponds to an accommodation reservation.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the action comprises allowing the person access.
17. The system of claim 15 , wherein the action comprises transmitting a notification to a recipient device.
18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the recipient device is operable to respond to the notification to allow the person access.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the action comprises processing a payment.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the accommodation station uses payment information associated with the identity to process the payment.
