Database employing biometric indexing and method therefor
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of indexing a first database of records comprising:
- receiving biometric information of an individual;
processing the biometric information of the individual to determine a biometric identification number, the biometric identification number derived from the biometric information;
receiving personal data relating to the individual;
storing within at least a first field within a record the personal data and within at least a second field within the record the biometric identification number; and
, indexing the records within the database based on data within the at least a second field.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method of indexing a first database of records. A fingerprint is received and a biometric identification number is determined based thereon. A database is formed and is indexed based on the biometric identification number. As such, absent knowledge of the actual index value, the index is reconstructable based on a provided fingerprint data.

13. A system comprising:
-
a biometric transducer for receiving biometric information of an individual; and
,a processor for processing the biometric information of the individual to determine a biometric identification number, the biometric identification number derived from the biometric information, for receiving personal data relating of the individual, for storing within at least a first field within a record of a first database the personal data and within at least a second field within the record of the first database the biometric identification number and, for indexing the records within the first database based on data within the at least a second field. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

21. A method of indexing a first database of records comprising:
-
receiving biometric information of an individual;
obtaining a biometric identification number that is based upon same biometric information of the individual;
retrieving a record from an indexed database of records, using an index based on the biometric identification number; and
,authenticating the individual based upon a comparison of the received biometric information and biometric template information stored within the indexed database. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
