Identification system
First Claim
1. An identification method including the steps of generating a signal corresponding to a fingerprint pattern, comparing the generated signal to a stored fingerprint signal, generating a coincidence signal when the stored and generated fingerprint signals match, and using the coincidence signal to address a memory storing a feature signal representing a feature characteristic of a predetermined person or group of persons, transmitting the feature signal to a location remote from that where the fingerprint pattern is sensed, and generating an output at the remote location of the feature represented by the stored feature signal.

Abstract
A method for remote verification in which a first party at a first telephone confirms their identity to a second person at a second telephone. The fingerprint of the first person is read and compared to a stored fingerprint pattern. If the stored and sensor fingerprint patterns match, the first telephone transmits a signal to the second telephone which controls a display on the second telephone to display an image of the first person.

- 8. An identification or verification system including fingerprint sensing means for sensing a fingerprint pattern, data processing means for producing a signal representing a sensed fingerprint pattern, a first memory for storing a signal representing a selected fingerprint pattern of a predetermined person, signal comparison means for comparing a signal generated by the data processing means from a sensed fingerprint pattern with the stored fingerprint pattern and generating a coincidence signal when the two match, second memory means for storing a feature signal representing a feature characteristic of the pre-determined person or a group of persons including the pre-determined person, addressing means for retrieving the characteristic signal from the second memory when a coincidence signal is generated by the comparison means, and display means connected to and remote from the fingerprint sensing means for converting the feature signal into an output of the stored characteristic feature.
