Abstract
A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.
Claims20
A system for biometric pre-identification, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions to:
- maintain a main gallery that includes biometric data for multiple people;
- receive a first digital representation of a biometric for a person obtained by a biometric pre-identification device;
- generate a reduced gallery from the main gallery using the first digital representation of the biometric for the person;
- and
- provide the reduced gallery to a station device associated with the biometric pre-dentification device prior to arrival of the person at the station device;
- wherein the station device:
- obtains a second digital representation of a biometric for the person upon the arrival of the person at the station device;
- and
- determines an identity for the person after the arrival of the person at the station device by comparing the second digital representation of the biometric for the person to at least a portion of the reduced gallery.

A system for biometric pre-identification, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions;
- and
- a processor that executes the instructions to:
- generate a reduced gallery from a main gallery based on an initial identification performed using data for a person prior to arrival of the person at a station device, the main gallery including biometric data for multiple people;
- and
- provide the reduced gallery to the station device prior to the arrival of the person at the station device;
- wherein the station device determines an identity for the person after the arrival of the person at the station device by comparing a digital representation of a biometric for the person to at least a portion of the reduced gallery.
