Physical token-less security screening using biometrics
First Claim
1. A screening system, comprising:
- at least one non-transitory storage medium storing a set of instructions;
at least one communication component communicably connected to a third party ticketing system; and
at least one processing unit communicably coupled to the at least one non-transitory storage medium and the at least one communication component, the at least one processing unit operative to execute the set of instructions in order to;
ascertain a third party ticketing account identifier for a person based on a digital representation of biometric data for the person, wherein the digital representation of the biometric data is not included in the third party ticketing account identifier;
receive ticket data and a real time status of the ticket data from the third party ticketing system based on the third party ticketing account identifier; and
approve access for the person based at least on the ticket data and a real time status of the ticket data.

Abstract
In physical token-less security screening using biometrics, a person provides biometric data to a security computing device as part of a security screening. The biometric data is used by the security computing device to look up an identifier (such as an airline account identifier or a security status identifier) for the person from a security back end. The identifier is used by the security computing device to obtain electronic pass information (such as an electronic boarding pass or a security screening status indicator) from a third party computing system (such as an airline computing system or a clearinghouse), which may be used to clear the person and/or otherwise facilitate the security screening. In some implementations, these techniques may also be used for physical token-less pass processing (such as boarding pass-less airline processing, confirmation of assigned traveling credentials, or determination of security protocols).
