Multi-Modal Biometric Identification

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a computing device, at least two biometric measurement signals generated by contact with a single individual, wherein the at least two biometric measurement signals comprise an electrocardiograph (ECG) signal and a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal;
• generating a combined biometric signal by combining the at least two biometric measurement signals;
• comparing the combined biometric signal with a defined biometric signal associated with a known individual;
• and
• transmitting a signal, responsive to the combined biometric signal matching the defined biometric signal, indicating that the single individual is the known individual.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a non-transitory memory;
• and
• a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the non-transitory memory to:
• receive, at a computing device, at least two biometric measurement signals generated by contact with a single individual, wherein the at least two biometric measurement signals comprise an electrocardiograph (ECG) signal and a photoplethysmography (PPG) signal;
• generate a combined biometric signal by combining the at least two biometric measurement signals;
• compare the combined biometric signal with a defined biometric signal associated with a known individual;
• and
• transmit a signal, responsive to the combined biometric signal matching the defined biometric signal, indicating that the single individual is the known individual.
