Abstract

A system and method generates an output that includes a machine readable code representation of biometric information from an individual. The output can be placed on an object(s) associated with the individual. This may allow tracking through a facility of both the individual and the object associated with the individual.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a biometric capture device that captures biometric information of an individual checking in at a facility;

a processor that processes the biometric information captured by said biometric capture device to generate a processed biometric signal; and

an output device that receives the processed biometric signal from said processor and that generates a self adhering output based on the signal, the output including a machine readable code representation of the processed biometric information and the output being associated with an object of the individual.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said machine-readable code is an encrypted representation of the processed biometric information.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein said machine-readable code is a barcode representation of the processed biometric information.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein said machine-readable code is a digitally signed representation of the processed biometric information.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein said machine-readable code is an encoded representation of the processed biometric information.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein said machine-readable code is a two dimensional barcode representation of the processed biometric information.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein said machine-readable code is a three dimensional barcode representation of the processed biometric information.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein said self adhering output is a label with an adhesive section.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein said self adhering output is a tag with an adhesive section.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein said object is a pass.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein said object is a ticket.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein said object is a voucher.

13. The system of claim 1, wherein said object is a badge.

14. The system of claim 1, wherein said object is a bag.

15. The system of claim 1, wherein said biometric information is fingerprint information.

16. The system of claim 1, wherein said processed biometric signal is based on extracting biometric data from the biometric information.

17. A method comprising the steps of:

capturing biometric information from an individual;

processing the biometric information to generate a processed biometric signal; and

generating machine readable code on a self adhering output based on the processed biometric signal, the machine readable code being representative of the captured biometric information.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein said generating step generates an encoded machine-readable code as the machine-readable code.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein said generating step generates encrypted machine-readable code as the machine-readable code.

20. The method of claim 17, wherein said generating step generates digitally signed machine-readable code as the machine-readable code.

21. The method of claim 17, wherein said generating step generates a two dimensional barcode as the machine-readable code.

22. The method of claim 17, wherein said generating step generates a three dimensional barcode as the machine-readable code.

23. The method of claim 17, wherein said processed biometric signal is based on extracting biometric data from the biometric information.
