Systems and methods for individual identification and authorization utilizing conformable electronics
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a deformable substrate configured to conform to a skin surface of a body portion of an individual subject;
a sensor assembly coupled to the deformable substrate, the sensor assembly including one or more identity sensors configured to generate one or more identity sense signals associated with at least one physical characteristic of the individual subject;
circuitry operably coupled to the sensor assembly and configured to receive the one or more identity sense signals associated with the at least one physical characteristic of the individual subject, the circuitry including an identity comparison module configured to compare the one or more identity sense signals generated by the sensor assembly to reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with an identity of at least one individual to determine whether the one or more identity sense signals correspond to the identity of the at least one individual, the circuitry including an authorization comparison module configured to compare at least one of the one or more identity sense signals or the identity of the at least one individual with one or more authorization parameters; and
a reporter operably coupled to the circuitry and configured to generate one or more communication signals responsive to instruction by the circuitry, the one or more communication signals associated with a comparison of at least one of the one or more identity sense signals or the identity of the at least one individual with the one or more authorization parameters, wherein the one or more authorization parameters include at least one scheduled parameter, the circuitry configured to disable a power connection to at least one of the sensor assembly or the reporter responsive to a correspondence between the one or more identity sense signals and the one or more physical characteristics associated with the identity of the at least one individual being below a threshold correspondence, the circuitry further configured to compare the one or more identity sense signals generated by the sensor assembly to reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with presence of at least one of a chemical indicator of inebriation, a chemical indicator of intoxication, a biological indicator of inebriation, a biological indicator of intoxication, or a prescription medication to determine whether the individual subject is authorized to operate an external device.

Abstract
An identification device includes, but is not limited to, a deformable substrate configured to conform to a skin surface of a body portion of an individual subject; a sensor assembly coupled to the deformable substrate, the sensor assembly including one or more identity sensors configured to generate one or more identity sense signals associated with at least one physical characteristic of the individual subject; circuitry configured to compare the one or more identity sense signals generated by the sensor assembly to reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with an identity; circuitry configured to compare at least one of the one or more identity sense signals or the identity with one or more authorization parameters; and a reporter operably coupled to the circuitry and configured to generate one or more communication signals associated with the comparison with the one or more authorization parameters.

16. A method, comprising:
-
generating one or more identity sense signals corresponding to an individual subject via an identification device having a deformable substrate configured to conform to a skin surface of a body portion of the individual subject and having one or more identity sensors coupled to the deformable substrate, the one or more identity sense signals associated with at least one physical characteristic of the individual subject; comparing via circuitry the one or more identity sense signals to reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with an identity of at least one individual to determine whether the one or more identity sense signals correspond to the identity of the at least one individual; comparing via circuitry at least one of the one or more identity sense signals or the identity of the at least one individual with one or more authorization parameters; reporting to an external device one or more communication signals associated with a comparison of at least one of the one or more identity sense signals or the identity of the at least one individual with the one or more authorization parameters, wherein the one or more authorization parameters include at least one scheduled parameter; disabling a power connection to at least a portion of the identification device responsive to a correspondence between the one or more identity sense signals and the reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with an identity of at least one individual being below a threshold correspondence; and determining whether the individual subject is authorized to operate the external device by comparing via circuitry the one or more identity sense signals generated by the sensor assembly to reference data indicative of one or more physical characteristics associated with presence of at least one of a chemical indicator of inebriation, a chemical indicator of intoxication, a biological indicator of inebriation, a biological indicator of intoxication, or a prescription medication. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)
