Abstract

Embodiments of the invention provide a method and system for receiving feedback with biometric authentication by sending a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a web-enabled feedback form to a user, sending the form if a matching server finds a match between a first biometric template derived from the user'"'"'s biometric identifier and a reference biometric template associated with the user, and accepting the form if the matching server finds a match between a second biometric template derived from the user'"'"'s biometric identifier and the reference biometric template associated with the user.

Claims

1. A method for receiving feedback with biometric authentication comprising:

sending a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a web-enabled feedback form to a user;

receiving a request for access to the web-enabled feedback form with the URL;

sending a first request for biometric authentication;

receiving a first biometric template of a biometric identifier of the user extracted from a first live image of the biometric identifier received from an imaging device;

if the matching server finds a match between the first biometric template and a reference biometric template associated with the user;

assembling and sending the web-enabled form within a live session;

receiving the completed web-enabled form within the live session;

sending a second request for biometric authentication;

receiving a second biometric template of the biometric identifier of the user extracted from a second live image of the biometric identifier received from the imaging device; and

if the matching server finds a match between the second biometric template and the reference biometric template associated with the user, accepting the web-enabled form.

2. The method of claim 1 where the URL is sent via email.

3. The method of claim 1 further comprising:

if the matching server fails to find a match between the first or second biometric template and the reference biometric template, sending an additional request for biometric authentication; and

receiving an additional biometric template of a biometric identifier extracted from an additional live image of the biometric identifier received from the imaging device.

4. The method of claim 2 further comprising:

if the matching server fails to find a match between the first or second biometric template and the reference biometric template, sending an additional request for biometric authentication; and

receiving an additional biometric template of a biometric identifier extracted from an additional live image of the biometric identifier received from the imaging device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the URL has an associated expiration date and further comprising:

comparing the expiration date of the URL with a current date; and

if the URL has expired, canceling the sending the web-enabled form within the live session.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the URL has an associated expiration date and further comprising:

comparing the expiration date of the URL with a current date; and

if the URL has expired, canceling the sending the web-enabled form within the live session.

7. The method of claim 3, wherein the URL has an associated expiration date and further comprising:

comparing the expiration date of the URL with a current date; and

if the URL has expired, canceling the sending the web-enabled form within the live session.

8. The method of claim 4, wherein the URL has an associated expiration date and further comprising:

comparing the expiration date of the URL with a current date; and

if the URL has expired, canceling the sending the web-enabled form within the live session.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the biometric identifier comprises a fingerprint.

10. The method of claim 2, wherein the biometric identifier comprises a fingerprint.

11. The method of claim 3, wherein the biometric identifier comprises a fingerprint.

12. The method of claim 5, wherein the biometric identifier comprises a fingerprint.

13. A system for receiving feedback with biometric authentication, the system comprising:

one or more servers to send a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of a web-enabled feedback form to a user;

to receive a request for access to the web-enabled feedback form;

to send a first request for biometric authentication;

to receive a first biometric template of a biometric identifier of the user extracted from a first live image of the biometric identifier received from an imaging device;

if the first biometric template matches a reference biometric template associated with the user, to assemble and send the web-enabled form within a live session;

to receive the completed web-enabled form within the live session;

to send a second request for biometric authentication;

to receive a second biometric template of the biometric identifier of the user extracted from a second live image of the biometric identifier received from the imaging device; and

, if the second biometric template matches the reference biometric template associated with the user, to accept the completed web-enabled form.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the URL has an associated expiration date and the one or more servers are further adapted to compare the expiration date of the URL with a current date;

and if the URL has expired, to cancel assembling and sending the web-enabled form within the live session.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the biometric identifier comprises a fingerprint.

16. The system of claim 14, wherein the biometric identifier comprises a fingerprint.
