Abstract
An apparatus, system and method for biometric acquisition are disclosed. In one embodiment, a sensor is configured to detect a biometric signature of a subject. The sensor is configured to be mounted to a surface. Various sensors are disclosed as being operative with the biometric acquisition apparatus. A vehicle with a mounted biometric acquisition apparatus is disclosed. A method for identification of suspects is also disclosed.
Claims20
A biometric acquisition apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor comprising a sensing element, the sensor configured to detect a biometric signature of a subject through the sensing element, wherein the sensor is configured to be mounted to a vehicle;
- and
- a wireless communication module in signal communication with the sensor, wherein the wireless communication module is configured to transmit a signal associated with the biometric signature of the subject to a remote database.
A biometric security apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor comprising a sensing element, the sensor configured to detect a biometric signature of a subject through the sensing element, wherein the sensor is configured to be mounted to a surface;
- a processing node in signal communication with the sensor, wherein the processing node is configure to compare the detected biometric signature to a biometric database;
- and
- a door lock in signal communication with the processing node, wherein the processing node is configured to control the door lock.
1 more element
A method for identifying a subject, comprising:
- obtaining, by a biometric sensor comprising a sensing element, a biometric signature of a subject through the sensing element, wherein the biometric sensor is mounted to a surface;
- transmitting, by a communication module, the biometric sensor to a processing node comprising a biometric database, wherein the processing node is configured to compare the biometric signature to a plurality of biometric data stored in the biometric database;
- and
- receiving, by the communication module, a response from the processing node indicating a result of the comparison of the biometric signature to the biometric database.
