Biometric based facility security
First Claim
1. A method comprising the steps of:
- (a) capturing biometric information from an individual at a location;
(b) generating an output based on the biometric information;
(c) associating the output to an object that is associated with the individual;
(d) comparing the captured biometric information to stored biometric information;
(e) generating a first comparison result signal based on said comparing step;
(f) transmitting the first comparison result signal to a predetermined location;
(g) capturing biometric information from the individual at another location;
(h) comparing the captured biometric information from the another location to the stored biometric information or different stored biometric information;
(i) generating a second comparison result signal based on said comparing step from the another location;
(j) transmitting the second comparison result signal to the predetermined location or different predetermined location; and
(k) repeating steps (g)-(j) until the individual is at a final predetermined location.

Abstract
Systems and methods are used to “check-in” and monitor individuals from an initial checkpoint of a facility to a final checkpoint of a facility. At the initial checkpoint, the systems and methods authenticate an identity of the individual, generate a biometric representation of the individual as an output, and associate the output to an object associated with the individual. The output can be machine-readable code, which can be encrypted or digitally signed. After this initial process, as the individual and the object associated with the individual travel through the facility, the individual'"'"'s identity is re-authenticated one or more times either at discrete checkpoints or randomly throughout the facility. The object is also checked against the identity of the individual by using the output associate with the object to ensure the object should be with that individual.

37. A system comprising:
-
an initial checkpoint apparatus that is used to perform a first authentication process of an individual;
a memory coupled to said initial check point apparatus that is used during the first authentication process of the individual;
an intermediate checkpoint apparatus that is used to perform a second authentication process of the individual and that is coupled to said memory; and
a final checkpoint apparatus that is used to perform a final authentication process of the individual and that is coupled to said memory. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71)
