Abstract
A system which enables a user to log into one or more gaming establishment management systems using both of a biometric identifier capture device of a gaming establishment device and also using a biometric identifier capture device of an identified user's mobile device.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a first biometric data capture device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- obtain, via the first biometric data capture device, first biometric data of an unidentified user,
- receive second biometric data of an identified user associated with a distinct mobile device, wherein the second biometric data is obtained via a second biometric data capture device of the mobile device, and the second biometric data capture device is different from the first biometric data capture device, and
- responsive to the first biometric data corresponding to the second biometric data, cause a designation of the unidentified user as the identified user of the mobile device.

A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory device that stores a plurality of instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- receive, from a first device, first biometric data of an unidentified user, wherein the first biometric data is obtained via a first biometric data capture device of the first device,
- receive second biometric data of an identified user associated with a mobile device, wherein the mobile device is distinct from the first device, the second biometric data is obtained via a second biometric data capture device of the mobile device, and the second biometric data capture device is different from the first biometric data capture device, and
- responsive to the first biometric data corresponding to the second biometric data, cause a designation of the unidentified user as the identified user of the mobile device.
3 more elements
A method of operating a device, the method comprising:
- obtaining, via a first biometric data capture device, first biometric data of an unidentified user,
- receiving second biometric data of an identified user associated with a distinct mobile device, wherein the second biometric data is obtained via a second biometric data capture device of the mobile device and the second biometric data capture device is different from the first biometric data capture device, and
- responsive to the first biometric data corresponding to the second biometric data, causing, by a processor, a designation of the unidentified user as the identified user of the mobile device.
