Physical token-less security screening using biometrics
First Claim
1. A physical ticket-less screening station, comprising:
- a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and
a processor that executes the instructions to;
obtain a digital representation of at least a portion of a face of a person;
use the digital representation of the at least the portion of the face to obtain a ticket account identifier for the person that does not include the digital representation of the at least the portion of the face;
use the ticket account identifier to access ticket data for the person; and
when the ticket data indicates that the person has a valid ticket to pass the physical ticket-less screening station, allow the person to pass.

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).

15. A physical ticket-less screening system, comprising:
-
a non-transitory storage medium that stores instructions; and a processor that executes the instructions to; obtain a digital representation of at least a portion of a face of a person; determine whether ticket data can be accessed with a ticket identifier obtained using the digital representation of the at least the portion of the face, the digital representation of the at least the portion of the face not included in the ticket identifier; and when the ticket data indicates that the person has a valid ticket, allow the person to pass through a reduced screening line. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
