Abstract
A person identification device 100 has a tag 110 with a code and a tamper evident tether 120 able to secure the tag 110 to a person having a body. The person identification device also has a signal generator 140 able to generate a signal representing the code. The tag 110 has a capacitive contact 130 able to capacitively couple the signal into the body of the person.
Claims9
A breathalyzer comprising:
- a sample tube configured to receive a specimen of breath from a person, the sample tube comprising a capacitive contact able to capacitively couple a signal from a body of the person providing the specimen of breath, wherein the signal represents a code associated with the person using the breathalyzer to provide the specimen of breath;
- a receiver configured to receive, from the capacitive contact, the signal representing the code;
- and
- a controller configured to determine the code from the signal.

A person identification system comprising:
- a person identification device comprising:
- a tag;
- a tamper evident tether able to secure the tag to a person who is to provide a specimen of breath, the tag having a code associated with the person;
- a signal generator able to generate a signal representing the code;
- and
- the tag having a first capacitive contact able to capacitively couple the signal into a body of the person;
- and
- a breathalyzer comprising:
- a sample tube configured to receive a specimen of breath from the person, the sample tube comprising a second capacitive contact able to capacitively couple the signal from the body of the person providing the specimen of breath, wherein the signal represents the code associated with the person using the breathalyzer to provide the specimen of breath;
- a receiver configured to receive, from the second capacitive contact, the signal representing code;
- and
- a controller configured to determine the code from the signal and to compare the code against a code database for the identity of the person providing the specimen of breath.
