Abstract

A multi-function biometric scanner is provided. The multi-function biometric scanner includes a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface, the user interface including a capacitive film for fingerprint capture that is disposed along an outer-surface of the housing and a plurality of biometric sensors that are disposed within the housing and that are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from a user, each sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics. Fingerprints and the plurality of biometrics are compared to threat information in one or more threat databases to identify a person of interest.

Claims

1. A multi-function biometric scanner comprising:

a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface, the user interface including a capacitive film for fingerprint capture that is disposed along an outer-surface of the housing; and

a plurality of biometric sensors that are disposed within the housing and that are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from a user, each sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics,

wherein the plurality of biometrics are compared to identifying information that is stored in one or more databases.

2. The multi-function biometric scanner according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture palm prints, finger prints, facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images.

3. The multi-function biometric scanner according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

4. The multi-function biometric scanner according to claim 1, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

5. The multi-function biometric scanner according to claim 1, wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.

6. A method for operating a multi-function biometric scanner, the method comprising:

detecting a user'"'"'s engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner comprises a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface, the user interface including a capacitive film for fingerprint capture that is disposed along an outer-surface of the housing;

concurrently detecting a plurality of biometrics of the user, wherein a plurality of biometric sensors that are disposed within the housing and are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from the user, each sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics; and

comparing the plurality of biometrics to identifying information that is stored in one or more threat databases to identify a person of interest.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture palm prints, finger prints, facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images.

8. The method according to claim 6, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

9. The method according to claim 6, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

10. The method according to claim 6, wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured to be executed by a processor, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

detecting a user'"'"'s engagement with a multi-function biometric scanner, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner comprises a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface, the user interface including a capacitive film for fingerprint capture that is disposed along an outer-surface of the housing;

concurrently detecting a plurality of biometrics of the user, wherein a plurality of biometric sensors that are disposed within the housing and are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from the user, each sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics; and

comparing the plurality of biometrics to identifying information that is stored in one or more threat databases.

12. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 11, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture palm prints, finger prints, facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images.

13. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 11, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

14. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 11, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

15. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium according to claim 11, wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.

16. A device comprising:

a processor; and

a non-transitory memory storing one or more programs for execution by the processor, the one or more programs including instructions for;

detecting a user'"'"'s engagement with a multi-function biometric scanner, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner comprises a housing that includes a dome-shaped or semi-dome shaped user interface, the user interface including a capacitive film for fingerprint capture that is disposed along an outer-surface of the housing;

concurrently detecting a plurality of biometrics of the user, wherein a plurality of biometric sensors that are disposed within the housing and are configured to concurrently retrieve a plurality of biometrics from the user, each sensor being configured to measure a respective biometric of the plurality of biometrics; and

comparing the plurality of biometrics to identifying information that is stored in one or more databases.

17. The device according to claim 16, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include one or more high resolution imaging devices configured to capture palm prints, finger prints, facial images, iris images, and/or thermal images.

18. The device according to claim 16, wherein the plurality of biometric sensors include a voice capture device.

19. The device according to claim 16, wherein the multi-function biometric scanner is communicatively coupled to one or more threat databases.

20. The device according to claim 16, wherein the capacitive film for fingerprint capture detects user engagement with the multi-function biometric scanner.
