Abstract

An identification system uses a local cache for performing identifications. An identity system device may store identity information and identification information. An electronic device stores a cache of a portion of the identity information and a part of the identification information. The electronic device receives user input, determines an identity by comparing the user input to the cached identification information (such as by comparing a received digital representation of a biometric with cached biometric identification information), and performs an action using information in the cached identity information that is associated with the identity. The electronic device may update the identity information stored by the identity system device based on the action.

Claims (54)

1. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and

at least one processor that executes the instructions to:

receive from an identity system, the identity system storing identity information and biometric identification information, an identity information cache that comprises a portion of the identity information;

receive from the identity system a biometric identification information cache that comprises a part of the biometric identification information;

obtain a digital representation of a biometric;

determine an identity by comparing the digital representation of the biometric to the biometric identification information cache;

perform an action using information in the identity information cache that is associated with the identity; and

transmit a notification to the identity system to update a subset of the identity information associated with the identity.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor requests the identity information cache according to at least one parameter for identities.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the at least one parameter corresponds to a list of tickets or a manifest.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the digital representation of the biometric is a first digital representation of a first biometric;

the identity is a first identity; and

the at least one processor:

obtains a second digital representation of a second biometric;

determines the second digital representation of the second biometric mismatches all data in the biometric identification information cache; and

determines a second identity by transmitting the second digital representation of the second biometric to the identity system.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein:

the information is first information; and

the at least one processor receives second information that is associated with the second identity from the identity system.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor discards the digital representation of the biometric after determining the identity.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein a communication link between the at least one processor and the identity system is unused while the at least one processor determines the identity.

8. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and

at least one processor that executes the instructions to:

store identity information and biometric identification information received from an identity system;

obtain a digital representation of a biometric;

determine an identity by comparing the digital representation of the biometric to the biometric identification information;

perform an action using a portion of the identity information that is associated with the identity; and

instruct the identity system to update a subset of the identity information associated with the identity.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the action comprises determining whether to allow access.

10. The system of claim 9 , further comprising an access control mechanism wherein the at least one processor is operable to allow the access by signaling the access control mechanism.

11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the identity information includes an age.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the identity information includes financial information.

13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the digital representation of the biometric is obtained via at least one of a fingerprint scanner, an optical fingerprint scanner, a phosphorescent fingerprint scanner, a camera, an image sensor, or a microphone.

14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the digital representation of the biometric corresponds to at least one of a fingerprint, a voiceprint, a facial image, a retina image, an iris image, or a gait.

15. A system, comprising:

a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and

at least one processor that executes the instructions to:

determine at least one parameter for identities;

obtain, from an identity system, a subset of identity information and biometric identification information that corresponds to the at least one parameter;

store the subset of the identity information and the biometric identification information;

obtain a digital representation of a biometric; and

determine an identity by comparing the digital representation of the biometric to the biometric identification information of the subset of the identity information and the biometric identification information.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor:

performs an action using information in the identity information of the subset of the identity information and the biometric identification information corresponding to the identity; and

omits storing the subset of the identity information and the biometric identification information after performing the action.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein:

the action comprises allowing entrance; and

the at least one processor is operable to update an entrance status in the identity information of the subset of the identity information and the biometric identification information.

18. The system of claim 15 , wherein the parameters include expected entrants.

19. The system of claim 15 , wherein the at least one processor is a component of a device.

20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the parameters correspond to expected device operators.
