Smartphone fingerprint pass-through system

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for unlocking remote devices using a biometric input that is associated with a code stored on a mobile electronic device. After validating a biometric input that corresponds with a code that locks or unlocks a remote lock, the code may be sent to a remote electronic device in a transmission. When the code is validated by the remote electronic device as being associated with unlocking the remote lock, the remote device may then unlock the lock.

主权项

1. A method for remote security using biometric information, the method comprising:
receiving a first fingerprint input associated with a first user via a fingerprint scanner interface of a mobile electronic device; storing a first fingerprint dataset characterizing the first fingerprint input in a memory of the mobile electronic device; storing a first security code in the memory, the first security code associated with the first fingerprint dataset; storing device information in the memory, the device information identifying a plurality of external electronic devices, the plurality of external electronic devices including an electronic vehicle starter device of a vehicle, the electronic vehicle starter device associated with the first security code; receiving a second fingerprint input via the fingerprint scanner interface of the mobile electronic device; executing instructions stored in the memory, wherein execution of the instructions by a processor causes the mobile electronic device to:
identify that the second fingerprint input matches the first fingerprint dataset,validate that the second fingerprint input belongs to the first user based on identification that the second fingerprint input matches the first fingerprint dataset,retrieve the first security code of the plurality of security codes in response to identification that the second fingerprint input matches the first fingerprint dataset, andidentify a remote electronic access device that restricts communicative access to the electronic vehicle starter device that is associated with the first security code; and transmitting the first security code from the mobile electronic device to the remote electronic access device via Internet transmission in response to identification that the second fingerprint input matches the first fingerprint dataset, wherein the remote electronic access device thereby remotely signals the electronic vehicle starter device via Internet transmission to start the vehicle, wherein the electronic vehicle starter device starts the vehicle upon being remotely signaled by the remote electronic access device.
