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 method, comprising:
- determining an identity of a person using provided data;
- upon determining the identity of the person, generating a reduced biometric gallery from a larger biometric gallery;
- obtaining a digital representation of a biometric for the person;
- accessing identity information for the person using the reduced biometric gallery and the digital representation of the biometric;
- and
- initiating processing of a payment using the identity information.
A system, comprising:
- at least one non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the instructions to:
- determine an identity of a person using provided data;
- upon determining an identity of the person, generate a reduced biometric gallery from a larger biometric gallery;
- obtain a digital representation of a biometric for the person;
- perform a biometric identification of the person using the reduced biometric gallery and the digital representation of the biometric;
- and
- perform an action using information accessed via the biometric identification.
A computer program product embodied in a tangible machine readable medium, comprising:
- first instructions stored in the tangible machine readable medium and executable by at least one processor to generate a reduced biometric gallery from a larger biometric gallery using provided data that is associated with an identity of a person;
- second instructions stored in the tangible machine readable medium and executable by the at least one processor to obtain a digital representation of a biometric for the person;
- third instructions stored in the tangible machine readable medium and executable by the at least one processor to perform a biometric identification of the person using the reduced biometric gallery and the digital representation of the biometric;
- and
- fourth instructions stored in the tangible machine readable medium and executable by the at least one processor to perform an action using information accessed via the biometric identification.
