System and Method for Identifying an Enrolled User Utilizing a Biometric Identifier
First Claim
1. A method for successfully identifying an enrolled user of an application comprising the steps of:
- obtaining a first alphanumeric identifier from a user;
obtaining a first fingerprint scan image of a first finger from the user;
comparing the first fingerprint scan image to a first image associated with the first alphanumeric identifier stored in a database at a first threshold level; and
,comparing the first fingerprint scan image to the first image stored in the database associated with the first alphanumeric identifier at a second threshold level lower than the first threshold level if a match is not made at the first threshold level.

Abstract
A system and method for obtaining a first alphanumeric identifier from a user, obtaining a first fingerprint scan image of a first finger from the user, comparing the first fingerprint scan image to a first image associated with the first alphanumeric identifier stored in a database at a first threshold level and, comparing the first fingerprint scan image to the first image stored in the database associated with the first alphanumeric identifier at a second threshold level lower than the first threshold level if a match is not made at the first threshold level. The system can include a computer or other similar terminal or device and a fingerprint scanner connected to the computer.

12. A system for identifying an enrolled user of an application comprising:
-
a fingerprint scanning device; and
,a terminal coupled to the fingerprint scanning device, the terminal having a display and an alphanumeric input, the terminal configured to receive a first alphanumeric identifier inputted by a user and a first fingerprint scan image of a first finger from the user via the fingerprint scanning device, and compare the first fingerprint scan image with a first image associated with the alphanumeric identifier stored in a database at a first threshold level, the terminal further configured to compare the first fingerprint scan image with the first image stored in the database at a second threshold level lower than the first threshold level if a match is not made with the comparison at the first threshold level. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for facilitating use of a biometric scanner for granting a current user access to a software application comprising the steps of:
-
providing a biometric scanner coupled to a computer terminal; obtaining a first alphanumeric identifier of a current user; providing a database of a plurality of enrolled users, the database containing enrolled user information including the first alphanumeric identifier and at least one biometric identifier associated with each enrolled user; locating the first alphanumeric identifier in the database; obtaining a first biometric identifier from the current user; comparing the first biometric identifier from the current user with the at least one biometric identifier associated with the enrolled user of the located first alphanumeric identifier at a first threshold level; and
,comparing the first biometric identifier from the current user with the at least one biometric identifier associated with the enrolled user of the located first alphanumeric identifier at a second threshold level if no match during comparison at the first threshold level. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
