Method and system for conducting identification matching

A system for conducting pattern matching comprising:

• at least one pattern matching system operable to store enrollment data records of a subpopulation assigned thereto;
• at least one client system operable to at least obtain object pattern data;
• and
• a computer configured as a server, said server including at least a database and being operable to
• communicate with said at least one matching system and said at least one client system,
• store within said database at least enrollment data records of a plurality of subpopulations,
• establish probe categories that each correspond to pattern characteristics of one of the subpopulations, and
• convert obtained object pattern data into a probe and determine the probe category of the probe,
• said at least one pattern matching system being further operable to
• conduct a matching transaction between the probe and each of the subpopulations, and determine at least one candidate match when the probe matches at least one enrollment data record from any of the subpopulations.

A method of conducting object pattern matching comprising:

• coordinating a plurality of subpopulations with matching systems such that each subpopulation corresponds to at least one of the matching systems, wherein said coordinating operation is based on at least one pattern associated with each subpopulation;
• obtaining object pattern data and configuring the obtained object pattern data as a probe;
• conducting a matching transaction between the probe and each subpopulation using the at least one matching system corresponding to each subpopulation;
• and
• determining at least one candidate match when the probe matches at least one enrollment data record in the at least one corresponding matching system.
