1. A smartcard transaction system configured with a facial security system, said system comprising:
- a smartcard configured to communicate with a smartcard reader;
said smartcard reader configured to communicate with said system;
a facial scan sensor configured to detect a proffered facial scan sample, said facial scan sensor configured to communicate with said system;
a device configured to verify said proffered facial scan sample to facilitate a transaction;
a first enterprise data collection unit associated with a first enterprise, said first enterprise data collection unit configured to store update transactions and pending transactions associated with said smartcard and said first enterprise;
a second enterprise data collection unit associated with a second enterprise, said second enterprise data collection unit configured to store update transactions and pending transactions associated with said smartcard and said second enterprise;
an access point configured to interface with said smartcard and said first and second enterprise data collection units;
a card object database system coupled to said first and second enterprise data collection units and configured to store said smartcard information in accordance with said update transactions and said pending transactions, wherein said smartcard information comprises a card object having an application;
an update logic system configured to route said smartcard information from said first and second enterprise data collection units to said access point in order to effect synchronization of said smartcard information associated with said smartcard and said card object database system; and
, wherein said verification device activates said update logic system upon verification of said proffered facial scan sample.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a method for registering biometric information for use in a smartcard-reader system. The method comprises the steps of contacting an authorized sample receiver and submitting a biometric to a sensor to facilitates the sensor in obtaining a biometric sample. The method also includes providing user information and smartcard information to the smartcard-reader system to facilitate associating the biometric sample with the user and smartcard information.

10. A method for facilitating biometric security using a proffered facial scan sample in a smartcard transaction system comprising:
-
detecting a proffered facial scan at a sensor communicating with said system to obtain said proffered facial scan sample;
verifying said proffered facial scan sample;
authorizing a transaction to proceed upon verification of said proffered facial scan sample;
storing, by a first enterprise data collection unit, update transactions and pending transactions associated with said smartcard and a first enterprise, wherein said first enterprise data collection unit is associated with a first enterprise;
storing, by a second enterprise data collection unit, update transactions and pending transactions associated with said smartcard and a second enterprise, wherein said second enterprise data collection unit is associated with a second enterprise;
interfacing with said smartcard and said first and second enterprise data collection units, at an access point;
storing, by a card object database system coupled to said first and second enterprise data collection units, said smartcard information in accordance with said update transactions and said pending transactions, wherein said smartcard information comprises a card object having an application;
routing, by an update logic system, said smartcard information from said first and second enterprise data collection units to said access point in order to effect synchronization of said smartcard information associated with said smartcard and said card object database system; and
,activating, by said verification device, said update logic system upon verification of said proffered facial scan sample. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
