Abstract

A system and method for real world biometric analytics through the use of a multimodal analytic wallet. The system includes a biometric wallet comprising a pervasive repository for storing biometric data, the pervasive repository including at least one of a biometric layer, a genomic layer, a health layer, a privacy layer, and a processing layer. The biometric wallet further comprises a biometric analytic interface configured to communicate the biometric data to one or more devices.

Claims

1. A biometric system, comprising:

a pervasive repository embodied as a computer readable hardware storage device for storing biometric data, the pervasive repository including a biometric layer, a genomic layer, a health layer, a privacy layer, and a processing layer; and

a biometric analytic interface configured to communicate the biometric data to one or more acquisition devices and notify a user which acquisition devices attempt to obtain the biometric data from the pervasive repository,

wherein;

the one or more acquisition devices are external to the biometric system,

the biometric analytic interface includes privacy settings,

the biometric analytic interface is configured to use the privacy settings to determine a portion of the biometric data that is allowed to be accessed by the one or more acquisition devices, and

the notifying the user which of the acquisition devices attempt to obtain the biometric data comprises receiving, in response to the notifying, an adjustment to the privacy settings that changes the portion of the biometric data that is allowed to be accessed by the one or more acquisition devices during a subsequent attempt to obtain the biometric data from the pervasive repository.

2. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the biometric layer includes physiological biometric data, behavioral biometric data, and cognitive biometric data.

3. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the processing layer is configured to process locational data and environmental data.

4. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the biometric analytic interface provides for parallel acquisition and processing.

5. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the biometric analytic interface includes a privacy policy.

6. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the biometric analytic interface is configured to synch the pervasive repository to a central repository, and the central repository applies one or more algorithms to the biometric data.

7. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the privacy layer is configured to distort one or more biometric features before authenticating the user, and the processing layer is configured to periodically compare the user'"'"'s biometric data to the biometric data stored in the biometric wallet.

8. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the biometric analytic interface is configured to permit the user to adjust privacy settings of the biometric analytic interface to permit one or more of the acquisition devices to access the biometric data.

9. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the biometric analytic interface is configured to enable transportation and analysis of real time, on body information.

10. The biometric system of claim 9, wherein the on body information includes at least one of a thermogram and a skin luminance image of the user.

11. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the privacy layer is configured to protect the biometric data from being acquired from remote sensing.

12. The biometric system of claim 11, wherein the privacy layer is further configured to grant access to the biometric data only to authenticated users.

13. The biometric system of claim 12, wherein the privacy layer is further configured to authenticate a user by performing a distortion on one or more biometric features using a non-invertible biometric template.

14. The biometric system of claim 1, wherein the processing layer is configured to determine that the biometric data stored in the pervasive repository corresponds to a user in possession of the biometric system.

15. The biometric system of claim 14, wherein the processing layer is further configured to perform the determining in response to a distance between the biometric system and the user exceeding a predetermined threshold.

16. The biometric system of claim 14, wherein the processing layer is further configured to perform the determining in response to a predetermined period of time having elapsed.
