Preauthorized wearable biometric device, system and method for use thereof

A biometric device for authenticating a user, comprising:

• a transceiver that is operative to communicate over a network;
• a memory that is operative to store at least instructions;
• and
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• capturing at least one biometric feature of the user that is wearing the biometric device, wherein the at least one biometric feature includes an electrocardiogram of the user;
• authenticating the user of the biometric device based on the at least one biometric feature, wherein the authentication includes:
• communicating information that includes the at least one biometric feature to an authorized authentication device (AAD) that is separate from the biometric device;
• and
• comparing the at least one biometric feature to a biometric profile that corresponds to the user and is stored on the AAD, wherein the biometric device is preauthorized for the user when the biometric profile stored on the AAD corresponds to the at least one biometric feature;
• and
• when the user is authenticated, preauthorizing the biometric device for the user;
• when the preauthorized biometric device senses at least one access point, providing an authorization signal to the at least one access point;
• and
• wherein the user is provided access to the at least one access point based on at least an affirmative confirmation of the authorization signal by the at least one access point.

A system for using a biometric device to authenticate a user, comprising:

• a biometric device comprising:
• a transceiver that is operative to communicate over a network;
• a memory that is operative to store at least instructions;
• and
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• capturing at least one biometric feature of the user that is wearing the biometric device, wherein the at least one biometric feature includes an electrocardiogram of the user;
• authenticating the user of the biometric device based on the at least one biometric feature, wherein the authentication includes:
• communicating information that includes the at least one biometric feature to an authorized authentication device (AAD) that is separate from the biometric device;
• and
• comparing the at least one biometric feature to a biometric profile that corresponds to the user and is stored on the AAD, wherein the biometric device is preauthorized for the user when the biometric profile stored on the AAD corresponds to the at least one biometric feature;
• and
• when the user is authenticated, preauthorizing the biometric device for the user;
• when the preauthorized biometric device senses at least one access point, providing an authorization signal to the at least one access point;
• and
• wherein the user is provided access to the at least one access point based on at least an affirmative confirmation of the authorization signal by the at least one access point;
• and
• an access point computer, comprising:
• a transceiver that is operative to communicate over the network;
• a memory that is operative to store at least instructions;
• and
• a processor device that is operative to execute instructions that enable actions, including:
• providing access to the access point to the user based on the authorization signal provided by the biometric device.

A processor readable non-transitive storage media that includes instructions for using a biometric device to authenticate a user, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor device enables actions, comprising:

• capturing at least one biometric feature of the user that is wearing the biometric device, wherein the at least one biometric feature includes an electrocardiogram of the user;
• authenticating the user of the biometric device based on the at least one biometric feature, wherein the authentication includes:
• communicating information that includes the at least one biometric feature to an authorized authentication device (AAD) that is separate from the biometric device;
• and
• comparing the at least one biometric feature to a biometric profile that corresponds to the user and is stored on the AAD, wherein the biometric device is preauthorized for the user when the biometric profile stored on the AAD corresponds to the at least one biometric feature;
• and
• when the user is authenticated, preauthorizing the biometric device for the user;
• when the preauthorized biometric device senses at least one access point, providing an authorization signal to the at least one access point;
• and
• wherein the user is provided access to the at least one access point based on at least an affirmative confirmation of the authorization signal by the at least one access point.
