National identification card system and biometric identity verification method for negotiating transactions
First Claim
1. A national security method for tracking a person down in a population by obstructing the person from negotiating a transaction with another person, group, or entity in the population, comprising the steps of:
- a) selecting for each person in the population of a country an identifying biometric characteristic unique to that person;
b) determining profile information of each person in the population;
c) storing the identifying characteristic and the profile information of each person in the population in individual portable data devices to be carried by respective persons, the data devices including an active status and an inactive status;
d) storing the identifying characteristic and the profile information of each person in the population collectively at a central location;
e) converting the data device of the person to be tracked down to an inactive status;
f) determining an identifying biometric characteristic and the profile information of a person wishing to negotiate a transaction from the portable data device carried by the person;
g) comparing the identifying characteristic and the profile information determined in step f) with the corresponding identifying characteristic and the profile information prestored in step d) for a successful or unsuccessful comparison;
h) obtaining a portion of the profile information and a biometric characteristic directly from the person in step f);
i) comparing the identifying characteristic and the profile information obtained in steps f) and h) for a successful or unsuccessful comparison;
j) confirming the profile information of the person wishing to negotiate the transaction obtained in step h) with the corresponding profile information of the person to be tracked down as being the same;
k) confirming comparisons carried out in steps g) and i) as successful comparisons;
l) determining an active or inactive status of the data device carried by the person in step f); and
m) obstructing the person in step f) from negotiating the transaction if the status of the data device is determined to be inactive in step l);
n) wherein the person in step f) is tracked down in the population by being barred from negotiating any transaction with any person, group, or entity in the population.

Abstract
A method and system for preventing or obstructing a person from negotiating a transaction with another person, group, or entity in a population, includes verifying and crosschecking the identity of the person and the status of the national identification card carried by the person, as a prerequisite to negotiating or entering into a transaction, such as purchasing an airline ticket. The identity of the person is verified and crosschecked by using a biometric characteristic unique to that person. If an irregularity is found during the verification or crosscheck, or if the identification card is found to be invalid or expired, the person is prevented or obstructed from negotiating that or any subsequent transaction with any other person, group or entity in the population.

14. A national security system for tracking a person down in a population by obstructing the person from negotiating a transaction with another person, group, or entity in the population, comprising:
-
a) a national security card to be carried by each person in the population of a country;
b) said national security card comprising prestored profile information of a person carrying said card and an identifying biometric characteristic unique to that person;
c) a card reader comprising a biometric scanner;
d) said card reader including a first processing unit for comparing the biometric characteristic stored on the national security card of a person with the biometric characteristic obtained directly from that person for a successful or unsuccessful comparison;
e) a remote second processing unit including prestored profile information and an identifying biometric characteristic of each person in the population;
f) a communication link between said card reader and said second processing unit;
g) one of said first processing unit and said second processing unit for comparing the profile information and the biometric characteristic stored on the national security card with the profile information and the biometric characteristic prestored on said second processing unit for a successful or unsuccessful comparison;
h) means for converting a national security card to an inactive status;
i) one of said card reader and said remote processing unit including means for determining the active or inactive status of the national security card and communicating an inactive status to a predetermined authority; and
j) said card reader including active and inactive indicator for indicating the active or inactive status of the national security card;
k) whereby an inactive status of the national security card tracks a person down in the population by obstructing the person from negotiating any transaction with any person, group, or entity in the population. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
