Abstract
An identification system uses a local cache for performing identifications. An identity system device may store identity information and identification information. An electronic device stores a cache of a portion of the identity information and a part of the identification information. The electronic device receives user input, determines an identity by comparing the user input to the cached identification information (such as by comparing a received digital representation of a biometric with cached biometric identification information), and performs an action using information in the cached identity information that is associated with the identity. The electronic device may update the identity information stored by the identity system device based on the action.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an identity system device that stores identity information and biometric information for multiple people;
- and
- a local electronic device that:
- obtains a digital representation of a biometric for a person;
- upon determining that the digital representation of the biometric corresponds to data in a local cache, omits identifying the person;
- upon determining that the digital representation of the biometric does not correspond to the data in the local cache:
- communicates with the identity system device to identify the person;
- and
- stores the digital representation of the data in the local cache;
- and
- deletes a portion of the data in the local cache corresponding to the digital representation of the biometric after a time period.
A system, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
- obtain a digital representation of a biometric for a person;
- upon determining that the digital representation of the biometric corresponds to data in a local cache, omit performing an action in response to identifying the person;
- upon determining that the digital representation of the biometric does not correspond to the data in the local cache:
- perform the action in response to identifying the person;
- and
- store the digital representation of the biometric in the local cache;
- and
- delete a portion of the data in the local cache corresponding to the digital representation of the biometric after a time period.
A method, comprising:
- obtaining a digital representation of a biometric for a person;
- upon determining that the digital representation of the biometric corresponds to data in a local cache, omit performing an action in response to identifying the person;
- upon determining that the digital representation of the biometric does not correspond to the data in the local cache:
- perform the action in response to identifying the person;
- and
- store the digital representation of the biometric in the local cache.
