Abstract

A biometrics hub may establish a first schedule for processing first biometric data of a user, establishing a second schedule for processing second biometric data of the user, storing the first biometric data that is received from a first biometric device via a first persistent session, and store the second biometric data that is received from a second biometric device via a second persistent session. The biometrics hub may further transmit at least one of the first biometric data or the second biometric data to an authorized remote device in accordance with the first schedule or the second schedule. In one example, the transmitting includes establishing a session with the authorized remote device, sending the at least one of the first biometric data or the second biometric data to the authorized remote device via the session with the authorized remote device, and closing the session with the authorized remote device.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A biometrics hub comprising:

a hardware processor;
and
a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
storing first biometric data of a user, wherein the first biometric data is received from a first biometric device using a first secure session that is maintained between transmission bursts of the first biometric data from the first biometric device to the biometrics hub;
storing second biometric data of the user, wherein the second biometric data is received from a second biometric device using a second secure session that is maintained between transmission bursts of the second biometric data from the second biometric device to the biometrics hub;
and
transmitting at least one of:
the first biometric data or the second biometric data to an authorized remote device, wherein the transmitting includes:
establishing a session with the authorized remote device in accordance with at least one schedule, to transmit the first biometric data or the second biometric data;
sending the at least one of the first biometric data or the second biometric data from the biometrics hub to the authorized remote device using the session with the authorized remote device;
and
closing the session with the authorized remote device after the sending of the at least one of:
the first biometric data or the second biometric data to the authorized remote device.
