System and Method for Biometric Identification Using Portable Interface Device for content Presentation System
First Claim
1. A method for interacting with a viewer of a content presentation system, comprising:
- providing to a content provider biometric information of the viewer obtained at a portable device, wherein said device includes an actuator which is operable by the viewer for interacting with a content presentation system via the portable device, and wherein said actuator includes circuitry for obtaining the biometric information from the viewer;
determining at said content provider an identification of said viewer based on the provided biometric information; and
selecting at said content provider a program wherein the selecting is based on the determined identification of said viewer and on previously-obtained information regarding program preferences of said viewer.

Abstract
Systems and/or methods are disclosed herein to identify a user interacting with a content presentation system, adaptively learn, in a passive manner, a user'"'"'s pattern of accessing content over time, and globally store the user'"'"'s identifying and use information. Specifically, the systems and/or methods may be user to identify a viewer of a content presentation system having a portable device with an actuator, operating the actuator by the viewer, obtaining biometric information via the actuator, and providing the biometric information to a content provider. The systems and/or methods may further include determining at the content provider an identification of the viewer based on the biometric information.
