First Claim
Patent Images
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;
an integrated circuit device disposed within said smartcard and configured to communicate with said reader, said integrated circuit device comprising a common application and a second application, said second application being configured to store travel-related information associated with a cardholder;
said second application comprising a common file structure and a partner file structure, wherein said partner file structure provides write access to a field within said partner file structure for a first partnering organization and denies write access to said field for a second partnering organization, and said common file structure provides write access for said first partnering organization and said second partnering organization to a field in said common file structure;
said biometric security device comprising a biometric sensor configured to communicate with said system and detect a proffered biometric sample, and wherein said proffered biometric sample is required to access said common file structure and said partner file structure;
a verification device configured to verify said proffered biometric sample to facilitate access to said common file structure; and
, wherein upon verification by said verification device, said common application is configured to transfer common data to facilitate said transaction, and said second application is configured to transfer said travel-related information, information related to said common file structure and information related to said partner file structure to facilitate said transaction.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a system and methods for biometric security using biometrics in a smartcard-reader system. The biometric security system also includes a biometric sensor that detects biometric samples and a device for verifying biometric samples. In one embodiment, the biometric security system includes a smartcard configured with a biometric sensor. In another embodiment, the system includes a reader configured with a biometric sensor. The device for verifying samples compares the biometric samples with information stored on databases.
