Abstract
A device having a fingerprint reader and a first heart rate monitor which are co-located such that a person's heart rate is obtained at the same time as this fingerprint. The device is integral to yet another heart rate monitor for monitoring the performance of the person in exercise. The readings of the other heart rate monitor correlates to the readings of the first heart rate monitor if the person whose fingerprint is read is the same person wearing the second heart rate monitor, in which case the fingerprint is deemed acceptable for identifying the person. Other biometric identification besides fingerprint can be used such as iris recognition.
Claims20
A system for authenticating physiological information as belonging to a person comprising:
- a device comprising:
- a biometric identity reader configured to read biometric information of the person;
- and
- a first physiological monitor configured to read first physiological information of the person,
- wherein the biometric identity reader and the first physiological monitor are configured to read the biometric information and the first physiological information of the person on a common body part simultaneously, to authenticate the first physiological information as being of the person;
- the device being communicatively coupled with a second physiological monitor that is triggered to read second physiological information of the person from a different body part of the person when the biometric identity reader reads the biometric information of the person and the first physiological monitor reads the first physiological information of the person;
- the system being configured to authenticate the second physiological information read by the second physiological monitor as belonging to the person when the first physiological information read by the first physiological monitor correlates to the second physiological information read by the second physiological monitor;
- wherein when the second physiological monitor is detected to have been moved away from the person, the system is configured to re-authenticate the person by simultaneously re-reading the biometric information using the biometric identity reader, re-reading the first physiological information from the first physiological monitor, and re-reading the second physiological information from the second physiological monitor to re-authenticate the second physiological information read by the second physiological monitor as belonging to the person when the first physiological information read by the first physiological monitor correlates to the second physiological information read by the second physiological monitor.

A device including:
- a biometric identity reader configured to read biometric information of the person;
- and
- a first physiological monitor configured to read first physiological information of the person,
- wherein the biometric identity reader and the first physiological monitor are configured to read the biometric information and the first physiological information of the person on a common body part simultaneously, to authenticate the first physiological information as being of the person;
- the device being communicatively coupled with a second physiological monitor that is triggered to read second physiological information of the person from a different body part of the person when the biometric identity reader reads the biometric information of the person and the first physiological monitor reads the first physiological information of the person, to correlate the first physiological information read by the first physiological monitor with the second physiological information read by the second physiological monitor;
- wherein when the second physiological monitor is detected to have been moved away from the person, the device is configured to re-authenticate the person by simultaneously re-reading the biometric information using the biometric identity reader, re-reading the first physiological information from the first physiological monitor, and re-reading the second physiological information from the second physiological monitor to re-authenticate the person.
3 more elements
A physiological monitor for authenticating a person, wherein
- the physiological monitor configured to read continuous physiological information of a person at a first body part;
- the physiological information is correlate-able temporarily to another physiological information of the person read by another physiological monitor the other physiological monitor being triggered to read the other physiological information of the person at a second body part when the physiological monitor reads the physiological information of the person at the first body part, the other physiological information having been authenticated as being of the person;
- continuity between the physiological information read by the physiological monitor and the other physiological information read by the other physiological monitor authenticates the person continuously;
- wherein
- when the physiological monitor is detected to have been moved away from the person, the physiological information of the person read by the physiological monitor is re-correlated temporarily to the other physiological information of the person read by the other physiological monitor;
- the other physiological information having been authenticated as being of the person;
- such that
- continuity between the re-correlated physiological information physiological information of the person read by the physiological monitor and the re-correlated other physiological information of the person read by the other physiological monitor re-authenticates the person continuously.
5 more elements
A method of authenticating physiological information of person comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a first physiological monitor, a second physiological monitor, and a biometric identity reader;
- b) reading, by the biometric identity reader, biometric information of the person;
- c) reading, by the first physiological monitor, a first physiological information of the person at the body part of the person, wherein the biometric identity reader and the first physiological monitor read the biometric information and the first physiological information at a body part of the person simultaneously;
- d) reading, by the second physiological monitor, a second physiological information of the person, wherein the second physiological monitor is triggered to read the second physiological information of the person at a different body part of the person when the biometric identity reader reads the biometric information and the first physiological monitor reads the first physiological information;
- and
- e) authenticating the biometric information of the person in order to accept the first physiological information as belonging to the person;
- accepting the second physiological information read by the second physiological monitor as belonging to the person when the first physiological information read by the first physiological monitor correlates to the second physiological information read by the second physiological monitor;
- repeating the steps b) to f) when the second physiological monitor is deemed to have been moved away from the body part of the person.
