Abstract
A system for securely sharing data and conducting transactions in an electronic environment. The system may include a personal information device having a processor, memory and biometric sensor. Personal data is stored in the memory of the personal information device. The personal information device may be registered with a centralized system. Data stored on the personal information device may be uploaded to an access device upon verification of a user'"'"'s identity using a biometric recognition technique.

21. A system for use in securely transferring data in an electronic environment, said system comprising:
-
a personal information device, said personal information device comprising a processor and a memory accessible to the processor, the memory having personal data and a biometric template stored therein, the personal information device having an input/output port for transferring data; a centralized system having a server connected to a database, the database having stored therein a unique identification number associated with the personal information device; an access device having a processor and a memory accessible to the processor, the access device further having an input/output port for communicating with the personal information device; a network connection between the centralized system and the access device; a biometric sensor; wherein the personal information device, upon being prompted, performs the steps of;
(i) receive a biometric sample from a user, (ii) compare the biometric sample from the user to the biometric template, and (iii) provide a unique identification number and personal data to the access device if the biometric sample and biometric template match;wherein the memory of the access device has operating instructions stored therein to cause the processor of the access device to perform the steps of;
(i) receive a unique identification number from the personal information device, (ii) transmit the unique identification number to the centralized system, and (iii) receive personal data from the personal information device;wherein the memory of the centralized system has operating instructions stored therein to cause the processor of the centralized system to perform the step of receiving a unique identification number associated with a personal information device from an access device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
