SPLIT INTERFACE HANDLING OF BORDER CROSSING DATA

摘要

Border crossing facilitated with positive identification using biometric data carried by a person on an identify card (301). The card is read by a border kiosk (K1) and matched (210) against the presenting human (EU). Either the identification results or the identity information on the card are passed to government facilities (GS, 210) for an up to the minute background check. If that check is passed the human can either move across the border (236)or move on to Customs (230). Additionally, the presence of a positively identified individual can trigger the use of a trusted presence (240) signal to provide commercial facilities (152) with rapid and inexpensive confirmation of the individual presence near the border kiosk. Many variations are described which accommodate local or national rules on privacy.
