Abstract
An apparatus and method of security is disclosed. The apparatus for determining a primary location and an identity of at least one person, comprising at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor provides a current location and at least one identifying characteristic about at least one person to a match validation system. The method for determining the primary location and the identity of the at least one person is also disclosed. The method comprises the steps of: providing a current location of at least one sensor and at least one identifying characteristic of at least one person to a match verification system; and matching the at least one identifying characteristic of the at least one person and the at least one verified identifying characteristic; and verifying the match.
Claims20
An apparatus for identifying and locating at least one person, comprising:
- at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor provides the following information about the at least one person to a sensor validation system:
- a current location;
- and
- at least one identifying characteristic;
- a data base having the following information about the at least one person:
- a primary location that includes a location where the at least one person resides;
- and
- at least one verified identifying characteristic;
- and
- a match verification system, wherein the primary location and an identity of the at least one person is determined by matching the at least one identifying characteristic and the at least one verified identifying characteristic and verifying the match.
A personal identification and location system, comprising:
- an information source module having at least one sensor that provides the following to a sensor validation system:
- a current location;
- and
- at least one identifying characteristic;
- a data base having the following information about the at least one person:
- a primary location that includes a location where the at least one person resides;
- and
- at least one verified identifying characteristic;
- and
- a match verification system having a processor, wherein the processor stores:
- the current and primary locations, the at least one identifying characteristic from the sensor validation system and the at least one verified identifying characteristic in the data base;
- and
- identifies the at least one person by matching the at least one identifying characteristic of the at least one person and the at least one verified identifying characteristic of the at least one person;
- and
- verifies the match.
