METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FINGERPRINT BIOMETRICS ON A SMARTCARD
First Claim
1. A smartcard transaction system configured with a biometric security device, said system comprising:
- a smartcard configured to communicate with a reader wherein said reader and said biometric security device are configured to communicate with a host;
said biometric security device comprises a fingerprint sensor to detect a proffered fingerprint sample, said fingerprint sensor configured to communicate with said host;
a verification device configured to compare said proffered fingerprint sample with a registered fingerprint sample, wherein said registered fingerprint sample is primarily associated with a first user account and secondarily associated with a second user account, and wherein said second user account is different than said first user account; and
wherein said smartcard is configured to utilize at least one of said first user account and said second user account to facilitate a smartcard payment transaction.

22. A method for facilitating biometric security in a smartcard transaction system comprising:
-
registering a fingerprint sample by primarily associating said fingerprint sample with a first user account and secondarily associating said fingerprint sample with a second user account to create a registered fingerprint sample, wherein said second user account is different than said first user account;
proffering a fingerprint to a fingerprint sensor communicating with said system to form a proffered fingerprint sample;
selecting at least one of said first user account and said second user account to facilitate a smartcard payment transaction upon verification of said proffered fingerprint sample against said registered fingerprint sample. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 49)

35. A method for facilitating biometric security in a smartcard transaction system comprising:
-
receiving data from a smartcard via a reader which communicates with said system;
detecting a proffered fingerprint at a sensor which communicates with said system to obtain a proffered fingerprint sample;
verifying said proffered fingerprint sample by comparing said proffered fingerprint sample with a registered fingerprint sample, wherein said registered fingerprint sample is primarily associated with a first user account and secondarily associated with a second user account, and wherein said second user account is different than said first user account;
using at least one of said first user account and said second user account to facilitate a smartcard payment transaction; and
,authorizing said smartcard payment transaction to proceed upon verification of said proffered fingerprint sample. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47)
