Abstract

A biometric identification linked interactive information system and method is disclosed wherein biometric identification scanning is performed by remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s). Databases are created at a central (host) unit of biometric identification scans and specific accumulated, individual data and are linked. Remote device(s) may contain sufficient memory storage to maintain active databases relevant to the remote device user; for example, patients on a ward, customers/clients in a store. The central (host) unit may update the remote device(s) and visa versa. Embodiments include any venue where biometric identification and linked information may be desirable: healthcare and commerce; moderate traffic areas of all kinds. Other data may be accessible to the remote device(s) and might be thought of as reference information; for example, pharmaceutical data. In commerce, apparel or any item may be accessible for display on the device, or with torso scan, projected in a “virtual boutique”.

Claims

1. A biometric identification linked interactive information system including:

1) central (host) unit containing;

A) biometric identification database, B) specific, accumulated, individual database, C) sort-match means to determine unique individual scanned, D) communication means; and

     2) remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) containing;

a) biometric identification scanner;

b) communication means; and

c) audiovisual means.

2. A biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) contain storage means for storing active specific, accumulated, individual database and/or specific, accumulated, individual data.

3. A biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) contain storage means for storing active biometric identification database and/or biometric identification data.

4. A biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 3, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) contains sort-match means to determine unique individual scanned by said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s).

5. A biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) contain storage means for storing both active specific, accumulated, individual database and/or specific, accumulated, individual data and active biometric identification database and/or biometric identification data.

6. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) update the central (host) database(s) of specific, accumulated, individual data and/or biometric identification data.

7. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said central (host) unit updates the remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) database(s) of active specific, accumulated, individual data and/or biometric identification data.

8. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) communicate with said central (host) computer via wired and/or non-wired means.

9. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) contain storage means and processor means to store, process and/or display the image of the individual biometrically identified and/or specific, accumulated, individual data.

10. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said specific, accumulated, individual data are healthcare data.

11. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed device(s) contain storage means and processor means to store, process and/or display specific, accumulated, individual data and such other data as needed by said user(s) of said remote mobile portable and/or fixed device(s).

12. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 11, wherein said other data are reference data not unique to the specific individual biometrically identified.

13. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 11, wherein said other data are pharmaceutical data.

14. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said specific, accumulated, individual data are customer/client data.

15. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 1, wherein said specific, accumulated, individual data are customer/client data;

and such other data as needed by said user(s) of said remote mobile portable and/or fixed device(s).

16. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 15, wherein said other data are commercial item data.

17. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 14, wherein said specific, accumulated, individual data includes a torso scan of the individual customer/client.

18. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 17, wherein said other data are apparel data;

said torso scan is projected onto a visual imaging means; and

said apparel data is projected onto the said torso projection by audiovisual means.

19. The biometric identification linked interactive information system of claim 18, wherein said other data are apparel data and/or accessory data;

said apparel data and/or said accessory data are projected onto said torso scan projection by audiovisual means.

20. A method of interactive communication linking biometric identification to specific, accumulated individual data utilizing the step of biometric identification scanning by remote mobile, portable and/or fixed devise(s);

the step of communicating via wired and/or non-wired means the scanned biometric identification data captured by said remote mobile portable and/or fixed device(s) to a central (host) unit;

the step of creating a database of biometric identification data at said central (host) unit;

the step of sort-matching of scanned biometric individual data with said biometric identification database to yield a unique individual;

the step of creating a database of specific, accumulated, individual data at said central (host) unit;

the step of linking specific, accumulated, individual data to the unique biometrically scanned individual;

the step of communicating via wired and/or non-wired means from the central (host) computer to said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed devise(s) said specific, accumulated, individual data and/or image of the individual biometrically identified;

the step of storing, processing, and/or presenting on audiovisual means by said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed devise(s).

21. The method of claim 20 wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed devise(s) includes the step of storing within the remote device(s) a database of active specific, accumulated, individual data.

22. The method of claim 20 wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed devise(s) includes the step of storing within the remote device(s) a database of active biometric identification data and the step of sort-matching of scanned biometric individual data with said active biometric identification database to yield a unique individual.

23. The method of claim 20 wherein said remote mobile, portable and/or fixed devise(s) includes the step of storing within the remote device(s) a database of active specific, accumulated, individual data;

the step of storing a database of active biometric identification data; and

the step of sort-matching of scanned biometric individual data with said active biometric identification database to yield a unique individual.
