Biometric device, system, and method for individual access control
First Claim
1. A biometric device useable to control human access to an arbitrary area, comprising:
- a biometric capture system that reads specified biometric information from an individual and that compares the biometric information to previously stored biometric information to determine a match between the read and stored biometric information;
a position location system that records the geographic location of the device, and determines if the device is inside the United States or outside the United States;
an encryption system that encrypts the geographic location and a device-unique identification; and
a wireless system that sends the encrypted geographic location and the device-unique identification to a remote location, wherein if the geographic location is inside the United States, the device receives a test satisfactory signal, and wherein if the geographic location is outside the United States, the device receives an exit satisfactory signal.

Abstract
A biometric device, and a corresponding system and a method, is used to control human access to an arbitrary area. The device includes a biometric capture system that reads specified biometric information from an individual and that compares the biometric information to previously stored biometric information to determine a match between the read and stored biometric information; a position location system that records the geographic location of the device, and determines if the device is inside the United States or outside the United States; an encryption system that encrypts the geographic location and a device-unique identification; and a wireless system that sends the encrypted geographic location and the device-unique identification to a remote location, where if the geographic location is inside the United States, the device receives a test satisfactory signal, and where if the geographic location is outside the United States, the device receives an exit satisfactory signal.

18. A method for controlling human access to an arbitrary area, the method being executed by a computer comprising a processor and a memory and comprising:
-
reading specified biometric information from an individual using a biometric device; comparing the biometric information to previously stored biometric information to determine a match between the read and stored biometric information; recording the geographic location of the device; determining if the device is inside the United States or outside the United States; encrypting the geographic location and a device-unique identification; sending the encrypted geographic location and the device-unique identification to a remote location; if the geographic location is inside the United States, sending a test satisfactory signal to the device; and if the geographic location is outside the United States, sending an exit satisfactory signal to the device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
