Systems, apparatus, and methods for using a wearable device to confirm the identity of an individual
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of providing a particular individual with access to a computer system or computer program, the method comprising:
- receiving at least one wireless signal from a wearable device, the at least one wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with the particular individual;
at least partially in response to receiving the at least one wireless signal, comparing the unique identifier with a stored identifier for the particular individual; and
at least partially in response to determining that the unique identifier at least partially matches the stored identifier, providing the particular individual with access to the computer system or computer program.

Abstract
A wearable device includes at least one sensor for obtaining a unique identifier from the wearer when the wearer and for transmitting the unique identifier to one or more computer processors for use in determining whether the wearer is a particular individual. The wearable device may also include a wireless communications device for transmitting a signal (e.g., to a remote computing device) that confirms the identity of the wearer as the particular individual. A remote computing device, or other device, or individual, may then, based at least in part on receiving the signal, grant wearer access to a computer program, computing system, and/or a particular physical space.

11. A system for confirming an identity of an individual, the system comprising:
-
a wearable device comprising; one or more processors; one or more sensors operatively coupled to the one or more processors; and at least one electronic communications device operatively coupled to the one or more processors and adapted to broadcast a wireless signal comprising a unique identifier associated with a particular individual wearing the wearable device, wherein the wireless signal is configured to be received by a remote computer system that uses the unique identifier to compare to a stored identifier for the particular individual so that the remote computer system can allow the particular individual access to one of the remote computer system, a secure area associated with the remote computer system, or a payment system associated with the remote computer system. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
