MULTIPLATFORM INDEPENDENT BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An independent biometric identification system comprising:
- at least one capture device connected to a user'"'"'s system, each said at least one capture device being configured to receive biometric characteristics of a user;
an independent biometric identification server including a set of instructions operable to cause said user to identify said at least one capture device to said independent biometric identification server, said server being operable to provide biometric identification of said user independently of individual applications implemented on the user'"'"'s system;
at least one biometric capture agent application chosen by the independent biometric identification server and individually developed for the identified capture device; and
a biometric database operable to store said biometric characteristics of the user,wherein said at least one biometric capture agent application is a client of said independent biometric identification server.

Abstract
An independent biometric identification system having an independent biometric identification server and a capture device connected to a user'"'"'s system to receive biometric characteristics of a user. The independent biometric identification server causes the user to identify its capture device to the server and provides biometric identification of the user independently of individual applications implemented on the user'"'"'s system. The system further includes a biometric capture agent application chosen by the independent biometric identification server and individually developed for the identified capture device. Finally, the system includes a biometric database storing the biometric characteristics of the user.

13. A method of independent biometric identification comprising the steps of:
-
connecting a capture device to a user'"'"'s system; connecting the user'"'"'s system to an independent biometric identification server; identifying the capture device to the independent biometric identification server; choosing by the independent biometric identification server a biometric capture agent individually developed for the identified capture device; obtaining a user'"'"'s biometric characteristics using the capture device; conveying said obtained biometric characteristics to the independent biometric identification server using the biometric capture agent; and comparing said conveyed biometric characteristics to biometric information stored in a database. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)
