Abstract

A fake-proof card verification system allows for the reading of data from an EEPROM memory device. A photographic-type image is stored in the memory device. The data comprises a data table containing randomly distributed unique serialized information. This information may be the serial number of the encoding read/write terminal, or the issue number of the particular identification information created by the encoding terminal. Desired verification data is downloaded from a central processing system. Advantageously, the system uses color cell compression for the acquisition, digitization and compression of the photographic-type image, which may be a facial representation, fingerprint, signature, voice print, eye retina or any other unique personal identification in a compressed form which may read by the decoding system to verify the positive identification of the presenter.

Claims22

Dependent claims

A method of validating at a central location a transaction occurring at a remote location, the transaction comprising presenting a user identification device including memory means for storing video information data made fake proof by random distribution of non-related verification information data elements, the method comprising the steps of:

transferring from a processing system at the central location to a processing system at the remote location unique digitized system verification information, said digitized verification information comprising a desired verification data table;
operating the remote location processing system in response to a user identification device being presented by
reading a video data table from a memory means of the presented user identification device, the video data table including a video information data table having elements of verification data at select distributed locations,
separating said verification data from said video data table to provide the information data table,
creating an actual verification data table using said separated verification data,
comparing said actual verification data table to said desired verification data table to verify authenticity of the user identification device, and
communicating with the central location processing system to verity and report authenticity of the presented user identification device;
and
recording at the central location processing system a log of remote transactions.

A method of validating at a central location a transaction occurring at any one of a plurality of remote locations, the transaction comprising presenting a user identification device including memory means for storing video information data made fake proof by random distribution of non-related verification information data elements, the method comprising the steps of:

transferring from a processing system at the central location to a processing system at each remote location unique digitized system verification information, said digitized verification information comprising a desired verification data table;
operating the processing system at any remote location in response to a user identification device being presented by
reading a video data table from a memory means of the presented user identification device, the video data table including a video information data table having elements of verification data at select distributed locations,
separating said verification data from said video data table to provide the information data table,
creating an actual verification data table using said separated verification data,
comparing said actual verification data table to said desired verification data table to verify authenticity of the user identification device, and
communicating with the central location processing system to verify and report authenticity of the presented user identification device;
and
recording at the central location processing system a log of remote transactions.
