Abstract
A device includes memory and a processor. The device receives biometric information. The device receives location information. The device analyzes the received biometric information with stored biometric information. The device analyzes the received location information with stored location information. The device determines whether the received biometric information matches the stored biometric information. The device determines whether the received location information matches the stored location information. The device sends an electronic communication that indicates whether the received biometric information matches the stored biometric information and whether the received local information matches stored geographic location that is not within a particular distance of another geographic location.
Claims9
An electronic communications method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device, electronic biometric information;
- receiving, by the device, first electronic location information, wherein the first electronic location information is associated with the electronic biometric information;
- analyzing, by the device, the electronic biometric information;
- analyzing, by the device, the first electronic location information;
- verifying, by the device, that the first electronic biometric information matches stored biometric information;
- confirming, by the device, that the first electronic location information is not within a particular distance from of a stored second geographic location, wherein the stored second geographic location is a voting location associated with a voter having the electronic biometric information;
- permitting, by the device, based on the verifying of the electronic biometric information and the confirming that the voter is not within the stored second geographic location, to receive electronic voting information associated with the electronic biometric information;
- receiving, by the device, electronic voting information,
- wherein the electronic voting information includes the voter's name, political affiliation, date of birth, home address, voting station address, and voter registration number;
- sending, by the device, based on the first electronic location information, electronic communication to another device, associated with the voter to instruct the voter to go to a third geographic location, wherein the third geographic location is located in a country and in which the stored second geographic location is not located in the country;
- receiving, by the device, another electronic communication that the voter has arrived at the third geographic location;
- sending, by the device, an additional electronic communication that an electronic vote is permitted by the voter since the voter is located at the third geographic location;
- receiving electronic vote information associated with the electronic vote;
- receiving the electronic biometric information at a second time;
- receiving a fourth location associated with the electronic biometric information at the second time;
- determining that the fourth location is within a particular distance from the stored second geographic location;
- denying any electronic communication associated with another vote based on determining that the voter, associated with the electronic biometric information, is not absent from the stored second geographic location since the voter is present in the stored geographic location.
A device, comprising:
- a memory, and
- a processor, coupled to the memory, to:
- receive electronic biometric information;
- receive first electronic location information, wherein the first electronic location information is associated with the electronic biometric information;
- analyze the electronic biometric information;
- confirm that the first electronic location information is not within a particular distance from a stored second geographic location, wherein the stored second geographic location is a voting location associated with a voter having the electronic biometric information;
- receive electronic voting information from a device, being used by the voter, that is at the first electronic location information;
- and
- permit, based on the confirming that the voter is not located within the stored second geographic location, receipt of the electronic voting information associated with the electronic biometric information,
- wherein the electronic voting information includes the voter's name, political affiliation, date of birth, home address, voting station address, and voter registration number;
- send, based on the first electronic location information, electronic communication to another device, associated with the voter to instruct the voter to go to a third geographic location, wherein the third geographic location is located in a country and in which the stored second geographic location is not located in the country;
- receive another electronic communication that the voter has arrived at the third geographic location;
- send an additional electronic communication that an electronic vote is permitted by the voter since the voter is located at the third geographic location;
- receive electronic vote information associated with the electronic vote;
- receive the electronic biometric information at a second time;
- receive a fourth location associated with the electronic biometric information at the second time;
- determine that the fourth location is within a particular distance from the stored second geographic location;
- deny any electronic communication associated with another vote based on determining that the voter, associated with the electronic biometric information, is not absent from the stored second geographic location since the voter is present in the stored geographic location.
