1. A method comprising:
- associating with a person, one or more identification (“
ID”
) signals emitted by a personal device, each ID signal of the one or more ID signals comprising a wireless transmission with a unique identifier that differs from other identifiers transmitted wirelessly, wherein the ID signals are associated with a person in a database;
detecting one or more ID signals from the personal device using one or more signal sensors;
receiving identifying credentials from the person at a device that is independent from the personal device;
confirming, at the device independent from the personal device, identity of the person in response to verifying identity of the person based upon the received identifying credentials from the person and verifying that one or more of the detected ID signals are associated with the person; and
generating and sending an alert in response to one or more of the detected ID signals not matching the ID signals associated with the person, the alert generated in response to determining that a percentage of the detected ID signals matching ID signals associated with the person does not satisfy a match threshold, the match threshold determined as a function of the number of ID signals that are detected.

Abstract
A method for verifying identity includes associating with a person, one or more ID signals emitted by a personal device. The method includes detecting one or more ID signals, and confirming identity of the person in response to verifying identity of the person based upon identifying credentials from the person and verifying that one or more of the detected ID signals are associated with the person.

10. An apparatus comprising:
-
an association module that associates, with a person one or more ID signals by a personal device, each ID signal of the one or more ID signals comprising a wireless transmission with a unique identifier that differs from other identifiers transmitted wirelessly, wherein the association module associates the ID signals with the person in a database; an ID detection module that detects one or more ID signals from the personal device using one or more signal sensors; a confirmation module that; receives identifying credentials from the person at a device that is independent from the personal device; and confirms, at the device independent from the personal device, identity of the person in response to verifying identity of the person based upon the received identifying credentials from the person and the ID detection module verifying that one or more of the detected ID signals are associated with the person; and an alert module that generates and sends an alert in response to one or more of the detected ID signals not matching the ID signals associated with the person, the alert generated in response to determining that a percentage of the detected ID signals matching ID signals associated with the person does not satisfy a match threshold, the match threshold determined as a function of the number of ID signals that are detected, wherein said modules comprise one or more of hardware circuits, a programmable hardware device and a processor executing code. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
-
one or more signal sensors; an ID receiver; an association module that associates, with a person one or more ID signals by a personal device, each ID signal of the one or more ID signals comprising a wireless transmission with a unique identifier that differs from other identifiers transmitted wirelessly, wherein the association module associates the ID signals with the person in a database; an ID detection module that detects, using the one or more signal sensors, one or more ID signals from the personal device using one or more signal sensors; a confirmation module that; receives identifying credentials from the person at a device that is independent from the personal device; and confirms, at the device independent from the personal device, identity of the person in response to verifying identity of the person based upon the received identifying credentials from the person and the ID detection module verifying that one or more of the detected ID signals are associated with the person; and an alert module that generates and sends an alert in response to one or more of the detected ID signals not matching the ID signals associated with the person, the alert generated in response to determining that a percentage of the detected ID signals matching ID signals associated with the person does not satisfy a match threshold, the match threshold determined as a function of the number of ID signals that are detected, wherein said modules comprise one or more of hardware circuits, a programmable hardware device and a processor executing code. - View Dependent Claims (15)
