BIOMETRIC NOTIFICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A biometric notification system (“
- BNS”
) with facial recognition services for identifying a predetermined person using biometrics and notifying at least one user of the system, the system comprising;
an image acquiring system for capturing a first content including a first feature set;
a comparison module and a database of cases, each case comprising a second content and assigned to a case group;
the second content of at least one of the cases including a second feature set of the predetermined person;
one or more matched cases identified when the comparison module finds the first feature set matches with the second feature set of one or more cases; and
,one or more of plural receiving nodes for receiving a notification component that corresponds to a particular matched case;
wherein (i) case groups are attached to user groups so that one or more user groups intended to receive the notification component can be identified and (ii) receiving nodes are associated with users or user groups so that one or more receiving nodes that serve the intended recipients can be identified.

22. A biometric-based method of automatically distributing notification components with selected content to selected receiving nodes, the method comprising the steps of:
-
providing a database of cases, each case characterized at least in part by a biometric data set and a case group; acquiring an image comprising a biometric data set and a case group; selecting predetermined cases from the database, the predetermined cases being those database cases whose case group matches that of the image; comparing the image with the predetermined cases for identifying one or more matching cases; for each matched case, identifying one or more receiving nodes that will receive a notification component particular to the matched case, where the identification of receiving nodes depends on the case-case group association and at least one of a receiving node-case group association and a receiving node-case association; for each matched case, identification of the content of the corresponding notification component depends on the case-case group association; and
,for each matched case, the corresponding notification component is sent to the one or more receiving nodes associated with the case.
