Real-Time Remote Image Capture System
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for remotely verifying the identity of an unidentified image, comprising:
- an identity capture device affixed to a badge operatively coupled to at least one computing device, the identity capture device adapted to capture the image;
a transmitting device operatively coupled to the identity capture device for sending the image to the at least one computing device, wherein the at least one computing device attempts to find a match of the image amongst a plurality of records;
wherein in response to finding the match amongst the plurality of records, the identity capture device provides its location, obtained using a Global Positioning System (GPS), to a monitoring center.

Abstract
Systems for remotely verifying the identity of an image include an identity capture device adapted to communicate with a computing device and a database. The identity capture device captures an image, and the computing device searches the database for information to authenticate and verify the image. For remotely connected computing devices, a communications network provides communication between the computing devices and the database. Other systems and methods are also provided.

5. A computer readable storage medium containing a computer program for verifying an unidentified image, the computer readable storage medium when executed by a processor causing the processor to:
-
capture the image using an identity capture device affixed to a badge; access a database having information for identifying the image; compare the image captured by the identity capture device with the information in the database for a plurality of records maintained in the database to attempt to find a match amongst the plurality of records; and in response to finding the match amongst the plurality of records, send a location of the badge, obtained using a Global Positioning System (GPS), to a monitoring center. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A computer readable storage medium containing a computer program for identifying an identity of an unknown person, the computer readable storage medium when executed by a processor causing the processor to:
-
sense a touching of an identity capture device affixed to a badge by the unknown person; capture an image of the unknown person; compare the image to records having identification information stored in a database for a plurality of persons; and determine whether a match exists between the image and the records stored in the database and notifying authorities of an identity and a location of the touched identity capture device when a match occurs. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
