Instant, physiologically-based execution of customer-oriented transactions
First Claim
1. A method of instantly and automatically executing transactions, comprising steps of:
- creating a unique association between user-specific biometric data and a particular transaction; and
responsive to presentment of the user-specific biometric data, instantly and automatically executing the particular transaction.

Abstract
A user defines a transaction (or, equivalently, a sequence of operations) and registers that transaction in association with unique, user-specific physiological identification (such as the user'"'"'s fingerprint or retinal scan). When the user subsequently presents the physiological identification, the registered transaction is executed instantly and automatically, without requiring any further user input. Therefore, the user does not have to carry additional authentication media (such as an automated teller machine card issued by the bank) or remember additional information (such as personal identification numbers) to be able to perform transactions.

11. A system for instantly and automatically executing transactions, comprising:
-
means for registering, for a user, unique user-specific biometric data;
means for defining, for the user, a particular transaction to be associated with the registered biometric data;
means for storing a unique association between the registered biometric data and the defined transaction;
means for detecting that the user-specific biometric data has been presented;
means for accessing the unique association between the biometric data and the particular transaction, thereby identifying the particular transaction to be executed; and
means for instantly and automatically executing the identified transaction. - View Dependent Claims (12)

13. A computer program product for instantly and automatically executing transactions, the computer program product embodied on one or more computer-usable media and comprising:
-
computer-readable program code means for detecting that a user has presented user-specific biometric data;
computer-readable program code means for accessing a stored association where the user-specific biometric data uniquely identifies a particular transaction; and
computer-readable program code means for instantly and automatically executing the particular transaction. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A method of doing business by providing instant, physiologically-based customer-oriented transactions, further comprising steps of:
-
allowing users to register unique user-specific biometric data;
allowing users to define a particular transaction to be associated with each of the registered biometric data;
storing a unique association between the registered biometric data and the defined transaction for each user;
detecting that the user-specific biometric data for a selected user has been presented;
accessing the stored unique associations, thereby identifying the particular transaction to be executed for the selected user; and
instantly and automatically executing the identified transaction. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
