Palm vein identification system, apparatus, and method
View Patent ↗A palm vein identification system includes a palm vein scanning device to capture a scan of a vein pattern of a candidate; the database having a groups, each group having a records, each records associated with a candidate record; the server having a processing unit to receive the scan from the communication system; create an image file associated with the scan; determine which of the groups the scan fits into; and narrow down a match associated with the scan based on which of the groups the scan fits into; the server authenticates the candidate based on the match.
1. A palm vein identification system, comprising:
a palm vein scanning device, the palm vein scanning device having:
a communication system configured to electronically communicate with a server and a database;
a lighting unit;
and a camera;
wherein the lighting unit and camera are configured to capture a scan of a vein pattern of a candidate;
the database having a plurality of groups, each group having a plurality of records, each of the plurality of records associated with a candidate record, the plurality of groups including:
a group of candidates that have scanned at the palm vein scanning device before;
a group of candidates that have scanned at a specified location before;
a group of candidates that have scanned within a predetermined distance from the specified location before;
a group of candidates that have a designated address within the predetermined distance from the specified location before;
a group of candidates that have a designated GPS location within the predetermined distance from the specified location, as broadcast from a computing device;
a group of candidates that have a designated WiFi address within the predetermined distance from the specified location;
a group of candidates that have a designated Bluetooth MAC address within the predetermined distance from the specified location;
a group of candidates that have a computing device with a unique identifier, the unique identifier being determined to be within the predetermined distance from the specified location; and
a group of candidates that are determined as likely patrons of the specified location as determined through one or more machine learning algorithms, the machine learning algorithms collecting data from the platform;
the server having a processing unit configured to perform the steps of:
receive the scan from the communication system;
create an image file associated with the scan;
determine which of the plurality of groups the scan fits into; and
narrow down a match associated with the scan based on which of the plurality of groups the scan fits into;
wherein the server authenticates the candidate based on the match.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of groups further comprises:
a group of candidates having been determined to wear similar jewelry;
a group of candidates having been determined to have similar hand geometry features;
a group of candidates having been determined to have similar skin tone; and
a group of candidates having added the specified location to a platform, the platform communicating with the server.
3. A method of palm vein identification, the method comprising:
creating a database having a plurality of groups, each group having a plurality of records, each of the plurality of records associated with a candidate record, the plurality of groups including:
a group of candidates that have scanned at the palm vein scanning device before;
a group of candidates that have scanned at a specified location before;
a group of candidates that have scanned within a predetermined distance from the specified location before;
a group of candidates that have a designated address within the predetermined distance from the specified location before;
a group of candidates that have a designated GPS location within the predetermined distance from the specified location, as broadcast from a computing device;
a group of candidates that have a designated WiFi address within the predetermined distance from the specified location;
a group of candidates that have a designated Bluetooth MAC address within the predetermined distance from the specified location;
a group of candidates that have a computing device with a unique identifier, the unique identifier being determined to be within the predetermined distance from the specified location; and
a group of candidates that are determined as likely patrons of the specified location as determined through one or more machine learning algorithms, the machine learning algorithms collecting data from the platform;
scanning, via a palm vein scanning device, a vein pattern of a candidate to create a scan;
comparing the scan to the plurality of groups;
determining which of the plurality of groups the scan matches with;
narrowing down a match associated with the scan based on which of the plurality of groups the scan fits into; and
authenticating the candidate based on the match.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of groups further comprises:
a group of candidates having been determined to wear similar jewelry;
a group of candidates having been determined to have similar hand geometry features;
a group of candidates having been determined to have similar skin tone; and
a group of candidates having added the specified location to a platform, the platform communicating with the server.
