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 configured to obtain a digital representation of a biometric for a person as the person approaches an event venue; and
a station device, located at the event venue, configured to:
receive an identity of the person, the identity determined using the digital representation of the biometric;
determine a status of a ticket to the event venue associated with the identity prior to arrival of the person at the station device; and
upon the arrival of the person at the station device, route the person to one of a group of different security screenings according to the status of the ticket.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the group of different security screenings includes a reduced security line and an increased security line.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the status indicates whether the person is a season ticket holder.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the station device routes the person to prioritize the person over a number of other people.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the station device transmits a notification to prepare an area associated with the ticket prior to the arrival of the person at the station device.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the station device summons assistance to meet the person at the station device.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the assistance comprises a wheelchair.
8. A system for biometric pre-identification, comprising:
a biometric pre-identification device configured to obtain a digital representation of a biometric for a person as the person approaches an event venue; and
a station device, located at the event venue, configured to:
receive an identity of the person, the identity determined using the digital representation of the biometric;
determine a standing order associated with the identity prior to arrival of the person at the station device; and
upon the arrival of the person at the station device, initiate fulfillment of the standing order associated with the identity.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the station device is operable to facilitate payment for the standing order.
10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the station device is operable to facilitate payment for the standing order by processing payment for the standing order.
11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the station device is operable to process payment for the standing order using information for a payment account associated with the identity.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the standing order comprises concessions.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the standing order comprises at least one of food or drink.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the fulfillment of the standing order is to be delivered to a location associated with a ticket to the event venue.
15. A system for biometric pre-identification, comprising:
a biometric pre-identification device configured to obtain a digital representation of a biometric for a person as the person approaches an event venue; and
a station device, located at the event venue, configured to:
receive an identity of the person, the identity determined using the digital representation of the biometric;
determine a status of a ticket to the event venue associated with the identity prior to arrival of the person at the station device; and
upon the arrival of the person at the station device, allow the person access to one of a group of different access areas according to the status of the ticket.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein:
a first access area of the group of different access areas is accessible to a first status and a second status; and
a second access area of the group of different access areas is accessible only to the second status.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the second status is a season ticket holder.
18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the biometric comprises at least a portion of a face of the person.
19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the biometric comprises at least a portion of a retina of the person.
20. The system of claim 15 , wherein the biometric comprises at least a portion of an iris of the person.
