System and method for encounter identity verification

1. A method of verifying an identity of a first user in a computing system, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processing unit, a request from a communicatively coupled device to access information of a first user, wherein the request comprises a first set of information retrieved from a passive communication device and a second set of information related to the communicatively coupled device from which the request was sent,

wherein the first set of information comprises an identification of the first user of the passive communication device,

wherein the second set of information comprises a location of the communicatively coupled device;

retrieving, by the processing unit, a location of an authenticated mobile device of the first user, wherein the authenticated mobile device and the passive communication device are separate devices from one another,

determining, by the processing unit, whether a location match is present between the location of the communicatively coupled device and the authenticated mobile device,

when the location match is present, transmitting for display, by the processing unit, a confirmation of the identity of the first user, and authorizing a second user of the communicatively coupled device to provide input into an account of the first user for storage in memory coupled to the processing unit, and

when the location match is not present, transmitting for display, by the processing unit, a message indicating the identity of the first user is not confirmed, and instructing the second user of the communicatively coupled device to take a secondary action.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the passive communication device is a Near Field Communication (NFC) device, and the communicatively coupled device is a mobile phone including a chip reader and an internet browser.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein when a location match is present, the method further comprises:

receiving, by the processing unit, secondary verification information of the first user from at least one of the communicatively coupled device, the authenticated mobile device, or another device communicatively coupled to the processing unit,

wherein the secondary verification information comprises at least one of voice verification information, biometric verification information, facial recognition information, or accelerometer verification information; and

determining, by the processing unit, whether a secondary verification match is present between the received secondary verification information and information previously stored in the account of the first user.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein prior to the step of transmitting the confirmation of the identity of the first user, determining the secondary verification match is present.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the instructions for taking the secondary action comprise instructions for obtaining secondary verification information from the first user using at least one of the communicatively coupled device, the authenticated mobile device, or another device communicatively coupled to the processing unit, and the method further comprises:

receiving, by the processing unit, secondary verification information of the first user from at least one of the communicatively coupled device, the authenticated mobile device, or the other device communicatively coupled to the processing unit,

wherein the secondary verification information comprises at least one of voice verification information, biometric verification information, facial recognition information, or accelerometer verification information; and

determining, by the processing unit, whether a secondary verification match is present between the received secondary information and information previously stored in an account of the first user.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein when the processing unit determines a secondary verification match is not present, the method further comprises:

contacting, by the processing unit, one or more of a peacekeeping authority or a supervisor of a user assigned to the passive communication device;

providing, by the processing unit, the location of the communicatively coupled device to the one or more of the peacekeeping authority or the supervisor; and

notifying, by the processing unit, the communicatively coupled device of the steps of contacting and providing.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein when the processing unit determines a secondary verification match is present, the method further comprises:

transmitting for display, by the processing unit, a confirmation of the identity of the first user, and authorizing the second user of the communicatively coupled device to provide input into an account of the first user for storage in memory coupled to the processing unit.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the instructions for taking the secondary action comprise instructions for contacting a peacekeeping authority or a supervisor of a user assigned to the passive communication device, and the method further comprising:

contacting, by the processing unit, one or more of the peacekeeping authority or the supervisor;

providing, by the processing unit, the location of the communicatively coupled device to the one or more of the peacekeeping authority or the supervisor; and

notifying, by the processing unit, the communicatively coupled device of the steps of contacting and providing.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second set of information comprises a timestamp associated with the location of the communicatively coupled device, and the method further comprises the step of:

retrieving, by the processing unit, a timestamp of the location of the authenticated mobile device of the first user.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transmitted confirmation of the identity of the first user comprises at least one of a badge number, a photograph, a name, a gender, an employment location, or an activity status of the first user.
