Automatic identity enrolment
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method of automatically enrolling a second biometric identifier by associating the second biometric identifier with records stored in a datastore, wherein each record represents a person and is already associated with at least one biometric identifier of the person, the method comprising:
- (a) receiving or accessing a first biometric identifier and a second biometric identifier, wherein the first and second biometric identifiers represent the same person;
(b) comparing the first biometric identifier to the biometric identifiers already associated with records in the datastore to identify a candidate matching record;
(c) determining whether the candidate matching record is identified to a predefined confidence level; and
(d) when the candidate matching record is identified to the predetermined confidence level, automatically enrolling the second biometric identifier by storing in memory an association of the second biometric identifier with the candidate matching record, whereby the first and second biometric identifiers are associated with the candidate record, and whereby the candidate record is enhanced by associating the second biometric identifier with the candidate record.

Abstract
Biometric computer systems are systems which use one or biometric identifiers to enroll, verify or identify a person. This disclosure concerns the automatic enrolment of people into biometric systems. Aspects include methods, computer systems, software and biometric systems. A first biometric identifier (i.e. face) and a second biometric identifier (e.g. iris) is captured (201). The first biometric identifier (e.g. face) is compared (206) to the biometric identifiers associated with records in the datastore (i.e. employment records 121) to identify a candidate matching record. An association of the second biometric identifier with the candidate record to be stored (209) in memory.

13. A computer system to automatically enroll a second biometric identifier by associating the second biometric identifier with a record stored in a datastore, the system comprising:
-
a processor; a datastore comprised of records, wherein each record represents a person and is already associated with at least one biometric identifier of the person; an input port to receive or memory for the processor to access a first biometric identifier and a second biometric identifier, wherein the first and second biometric identifiers represent the same person; and the processor for comparing the first biometric identifier to the biometric identifiers already associated with records in the datastore to identify a candidate matching record, and to determine whether the candidate matching record is identified to a predefined confidence level, and when the candidate matching record is identified to the predefined confidence level, automatically enrolling the second biometric identifier by storing in memory an association of the second biometric identifier with the candidate matching record, whereby the first and second biometric identifiers are associated with the candidate record and, whereby the candidate record is enhanced by associating the second biometric identified with the candidate record.
