Method for Performing Driver Identity Verification
First Claim
1. A method for assuring that the operator of a vehicle is an authorized driver, the method comprising:
- utilizing an onboard, multi-mode driver verification system to ascertain whether an operator is an authorized driver;
performing a first driver verification procedure on a present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle;
performing a second driver verification procedure on the present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle, wherein the first and second driver verification procedures are performed with a time interval therebetween, the time interval being dependent upon the nature of the work being performed by the operator;
exercising a remedial measure to avert potentially negative impact when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least one of the performed verification procedures; and
wherein at least one of the verification procedures comprises utilizing biometric data that can change over time for a particular person thereby potentially permitting an verification failure of that person based on a comparison of current biometric measures against a previously-produced template of the same characteristics, and automatically updating the previously-produced template.

Abstract
Method for assuring that the operator of a vehicle is an authorized driver, the method including utilizing an onboard, multi-mode driver identification system to ascertain whether an operator is an authorized driver. A first driver identification procedure is performed on a present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle. A second driver identification procedure is performed on the present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle, wherein the first and second driver identification procedures are performed with a time interval therebetween, the time interval being dependent upon the nature of the work being performed by the operator. A remedial measure is exercised to avert potentially negative impact when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least one of the performed identification procedures.

21. A method for assuring that the operator of a vehicle is an authorized driver, the method comprising:
-
utilizing an onboard, multi-mode driver verification system to ascertain whether an operator is an authorized driver; performing a first driver verification procedure on a present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle; performing a second driver verification procedure on the present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle, wherein the second driver verification procedure is different from the first driver verification procedure; exercising a remedial measure to avert potentially negative impact when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least one of the performed verification procedures; and wherein at least one of the verification procedures comprises utilizing biometric data that can change over time for a particular person thereby potentially permitting a verification failure of that person based on a comparison of current biometric measures against a previously-produced template of the same characteristics, and automatically updating the previously-produced template. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 94, 95)

41. A method for assuring that the operator of a vehicle is an authorized driver, the method comprising:
-
utilizing an onboard, multi-mode driver verification system to ascertain whether an operator is an authorized driver; performing a first type driver verification procedure on a present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle; performing a second type driver verification procedure on the present operator of the vehicle and determining whether the present operator is an authorized or unauthorized driver of the vehicle, wherein the first and second driver verification procedures are of different types from one another and are performed with random time intervals therebetween; exercising a remedial measure to avert potentially negative impact when the present operator of the vehicle is determined to be an unauthorized driver based upon at least one of the performed verification procedures; and wherein at least one of the verification procedures comprises utilizing biometric data that can change over time for a particular person thereby potentially permitting a verification failure of that person based on a comparison of current biometric measures against a previously-produced template of the same characteristics, and automatically updating the previously-produced template. - View Dependent Claims (42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 96, 97)

61. A method for verifying a vehicle operator'"'"'s identity utilizing biometric data that can change over time for a particular person thereby potentially permitting a verification failure of that person based on a comparison of current biometric measures against a previously-produced template of the same characteristics, the method comprising:
automatically updating the previously-produced template, the automatic update being achieved in a multi-modal verification system wherein the verification system uses more than one biometric/PIN-code/smart card. - View Dependent Claims (62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 98, 99)
