| 摘要 |
A mobile, wireless biometric identification system includes a biometric capture device which enables a smartphone, using a commercially established wireless communication networks, to capture a digital image of a human biometric (iris, fingerprint, etc.) for transmission to a central server. The biometric capture device captures a high quality image for encoding, while the overall system leverages the existing cellular communication network. The server receives the image, encodes the image to a biometric template, and compares the encoded template to reference templates stored in a database to identify the individual. Identification data is transmitted back to the smartphone device and displayed. Additionally, the device includes at least one other data capture device which can read, capture and transmit at least one of a variety of other data types from a variety of different government issued credentials, such as passports, driver's licenses, green cards, visas and/or other identity cards. |
