SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERFORMING USER RECOGNITION BASED ON BIOMETRIC INFORMATION CAPTURED WITH WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for performing user recognition with a mobile computing device according to biometric information captured by a monitoring device worn by a user, the method comprising:
- detecting, by the mobile computing device including a processor, a wireless transceiver, a storage medium, and instructions stored on the storage medium and executing in the processor, a wearable monitoring device in range of the wireless transceiver;
establishing, by the processor using the transceiver, a wireless communication link with the monitoring device;
receiving, by the processor over the wireless communication link, a monitoring device ID and monitoring data captured by the monitoring device, wherein the monitoring data includes captured biometric data of at least one subject;
analyzing, by the processor, at least the received biometric data, the analysis including;
extracting, by the processor, biometric features of a type that is suitable for performing biometric user recognition, andgenerating, by the processor using the extracted biometric features, a biometric identifier;
recognizing, by at least one or more of the processor and a remote server computing device in communication with the mobile device over a network based on the biometric identifier, a user identity that corresponds to the biometric identifier, the recognizing step including;
comparing the biometric identifier to one or more enrolled biometric identifiers stored in a database, wherein the enrolled biometric identifiers are associated with respective user identities, andidentifying the user identity in response to a successful match of the biometric identifier to an enrolled biometric identifier that is associated with the user identity; and
creating, by the remote server computing device, a record in a database, wherein the record entry includes a result of the recognizing step and the device ID; and
transmitting, by the remote server over a network to a remote computing device, a confirmation indicating that the record entry was created and the result of the identifying step.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for performing biometrics based user recognition and monitoring based on biometric information captured using wearable monitoring devices. More specifically, the present application provides systems including monitoring devices built into one or more articles of clothing that capture data relating to the wearer of the device and other subjects, such as biometric information, health vitals, environmental information, location data and the like. The systems also include a mobile computing device configured to receive the captured data from the monitoring device and, in conjunction with a distributed biometric authentication and identity assertion platform, perform user recognition based on biometric information captured by the mobile device and/or the monitoring device. The present application also provides an infrastructure for collecting and managing the data collected by the monitoring device in an authenticated/verified manner.
