1. A biometric content display device comprising:
- a face imager device having a field of view;
a camera;
an illuminator device comprising one or more illuminators that emit light into the field of view;
an electronic video display device to display a personalized electronic advertising content to a person within the field of view, the electronic advertising content comprising targeted marketing for the person;
an input device;
memory storing program instructions; and
a processor communicatively coupled to the face imager, the camera, the illuminator device, the electronic video display, the input device, and the memory, and further communicatively coupled to a database storing a reference iris image, the processor executing the program instructions to;
receive an input signal from the input device detecting the presence of a human face in a capture zone defined at least in part by the field of view;
responsive to detection of the human face in the capture zone;
align the camera with the iris of the person;
send a first control signal to the illuminator device, the first control signal activating a synchronous emission of light by the one or more illuminators at a pulse frequency above continuous wave eye safe limits;
send a second control signal to the camera, the second control signal activating a capture of a plurality of digital images by the camera, the capture being synchronous with the synchronous emission of light;
receive the plurality of digital images from the camera;
access the database to;
retrieve the reference iris image;
determine a demographic characteristic or preference of the person; and
find personalized electronic advertising content specific to the person, the electronic advertising content being associated with the demographic characteristic or preference of the person;
determine that a first digital image of the plurality of digital images matches the reference iris image; and
display the plurality of personalized electronic advertising content.

Abstract
An iris biometric recognition module includes technology for capturing images of an iris of an eye of a person, whether the person is moving or stationary. The iris biometric recognition technology can perform an iris matching procedure for, e.g., identity purposes by querying a database for data related to an identified person, comparing the data with a plurality of content, and, in response to a determination that the data matches at least one piece of the plurality of content, display the plurality of content specific to the person on a display device.

15. A method comprising authenticating a person to display a plurality of electronic content specific to the person via an iris biometric recognition module comprising program instructions stored in memory and causing one or more processors to execute the steps of:
-
detecting the presence of a human face in a capture zone defined at least in part by a field of view of a face imager device; responsive to detection of the human face in the capture zone, aligning a lens of an iris imager device with the iris of the person; operating an illuminator device to illuminate the iris; operating the iris imager device to produce a digital image of the iris; comparing the digital image to a reference iris image; and responsive to a determination that the digital image matches the reference iris image; querying a database for data specific to the person; comparing the data with the plurality of content; and in response to a determination that the data matches the plurality of content, displaying the plurality of content specific to the person on the electronic video display device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
