METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUDIO BIOMETRIC DATA CAPTURE
First Claim
1. An apparatus for audio biometric data capture, comprising:
- an interactive head-mounted eyepiece worn by a user, wherein the eyepiece includes an optical assembly through which the user views a surrounding environment and displayed content, wherein the optical assembly comprises a corrective element that corrects the user'"'"'s view of the surrounding environment, an integrated processor for handling content for display to the user, and an integrated image source for introducing the content to the optical assembly, an integrated optical sensor assembly for capturing visual biometric data;
an endfire microphone array of multiple microphones mounted in the interactive head-mounted eyepiece; and
an integrated communications facility that transmits the captured visual biometric data to a facility that stores the visual biometric data in a biometric data database, interprets the visual biometric data, generates display content based on the captured visual biometric data, and the interpretation, and delivers the display content to the eyepiece.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for audio biometric data capture are provided. The apparatus includes in interactive head-mounted eyepiece worn by a user that includes an optical assembly through which a user views a surrounding environment and displayed content. The optical assembly comprises a corrective element that corrects the user'"'"'s view of the surrounding environment and an integrated processor for handling content to the user. An integrated optical sensor captures visual biometric data when the eyepiece is positioned so that a nearby individual is proximate to the eyepiece. Audio biometric data is captured using multiple microphones mounted in an endfire array in the eyepiece. The remote processing facility interprets the captured audio biometric data and generates display content based on the interpretation. This display content is delivered to the eyepiece and displayed to the user.
