System and method for animal identification

A method for associating users of a wireless device network in relation to a biometric specific to animal dermatoglyphics, the method comprising:

• accessing, by at least one processor, at least one database that includes member information representing each of a plurality of registered members, wherein at least one member respectively owns at least one animal;
• providing an application that is operable by way of at least one processor to enable each of a plurality of wireless computing devices operated by the respective members to at least capture information representing optimized dermatoglyphic attributes of an animal that makes physical contact with a component of the wireless computing device;
• receiving, by the at least one processor from a first wireless computing device configured by the application, information associated with a first member, including:
• i) data generated by the first device in relation to a plurality of dermatoglyphic attributes of a first animal and at least one other attribute of the first animal, including breed;
• ii) a time and a location associated with the first animal;
• and
• ii) a payment commitment at least in part representing an incentive for at least one other member to provide information specific to the first animal;
• processing, by the at least one processor, the received information to determine:
• i) a relevant location-based zone associated with the first animal;
• and
• ii) a second member, based at least in part on a location associated with a second member wireless device configured by the application, and a determined likelihood of the second member to actively assist in providing information specific to the first animal;
• transmitting, by the at least one processor to the second wireless computing device associated with the second member, a prompt associated with the first animal;
• receiving, by the at least one processor from the second wireless computing device, a response to the prompt that includes at least information representing the first animal;
• updating, by the at least one processor based at least in part on the response received from the second wireless computing device, a projected pathway of the first animal and determining a third member based at least in part on the updated projected pathway and a determined likelihood of the third member to assist with recovering the first animal;
• receiving, by the at least one processor from a third wireless computing device configured by the application, at least some image-related information representing at least one dermatoglyphic attribute of the first animal;
• correlating, by the at least one processor, the information received from the third computing device with the information received from the first computing device;
• and
• distributing a portion of the payment to the second member and a portion of the payment to the third member based at least on a result of the correlating.

A system for associating users of a wireless device network in relation to a biometric specific to animal dermatoglyphics, the system comprising:

• non-transitory processor readable media;
• at least one processor operatively coupled to the processor readable media;
• wherein the processor readable media have instructions for causing the following steps to be performed by the at least one processor:
• accessing, by at least one processor, at least one database that includes member information representing each of a plurality of registered members, wherein at least one member respectively owns at least one animal;
• providing an application that is operable by way of at least one processor to enable each of a plurality of wireless computing devices operated by the respective members to at least capture information representing optimized dermatoglyphic attributes of an animal that makes physical contact with a component of the wireless computing device;
