1. A multi-factor multi-biometric access control device, comprising:
- at least one hardware processor;
a memory device coupled to the at least one hardware processor;
a sensor in communication with the at least one hardware processor, and that collects multiple and dissimilar-biometric signal data from a user;
a computer readable storage device coupled to the at least one hardware processor, wherein the storage device contains program code executable by the at least one hardware processor via the memory device, wherein the at least one hardware processor further;
extracts from the multiple and dissimilar-biometric signal data at least two dissimilar biometric signals related to a combination of at least two or more of a voice, speech, appearance, size, color, behavior, and physiology of the user;
fuses the dissimilar biometric signals to generate at least one characteristic vector;
compares the generated at least one characteristic vector with at least one stored preexisting model of characteristic vectors to produce a biometric match result for authenticating the user;
analyzes the dissimilar biometric signals to determine a biometric authentication by at least one of locally comparing the biometric signals to those stored on the device or passing biometric signals from the device to a remote host for a remote biometric signal comparison;
in response to the biometric match result having a strength that is greater than a predetermined threshold, authenticates according to the biometric authentication; and
in response to the biometric match result having a strength that is less than a predetermined threshold, authenticates the user and according to a multi-factor authentication that includes a combination of the biometric authentication and at least one other factor selected from a group consisting of a possession authentication, a knowledge authentication, and another form of authentication based on at least one of what the user knows, what the user possesses or what unique physical, biological and physiological traits the user has, the access control device further comprising;
a display; and
a network communication device that exchanges at least one of data, commands or configurations with a remote resource before, during or after authentication.
