Abstract
An identification system uses a local cache for performing identifications. An identity system device may store identity information and identification information. An electronic device stores a cache of a portion of the identity information and a part of the identification information. The electronic device receives user input, determines an identity by comparing the user input to the cached identification information (such as by comparing a received digital representation of a biometric with cached biometric identification information), and performs an action using information in the cached identity information that is associated with the identity. The electronic device may update the identity information stored by the identity system device based on the action.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a central database that includes biometric data for a person;
- a local cache;
- a mobile electronic device that instructs loading of the biometric data for the person from the central database to the local cache in response to information received from the person;
- and
- a station that:
- attempts to biometrically identify the person using the local cache;
- and
- deletes the biometric data for the person from the local cache.
A method, comprising:
- instructing loading of biometric data for a person from a central database to a local cache in response to information received from the person;
- attempting to biometrically determine an identity of the person using the local cache;
- and
- performing an action based at least on the identity of the person.
A computer program product stored in at least one non-transitory storage medium, comprising:
- first instructions stored in the at least one non-transitory storage medium executable by at least one processing unit to instruct loading of biometric data for a person from a central database to a local cache in response to information received from the person;
- second instructions stored in the at least one non-transitory storage medium executable by the at least one processing unit to determine an identity of the person using the local cache;
- and
- third instructions stored in the at least one non-transitory storage medium executable by the at least one processing unit to delete the biometric data for the person from the local cache.
