Personal identification
First Claim
1. A portable personal identification system comprising:
- a portable optical media card having a first physical data track having identification data corresponding to a physical characteristic of an authorized person stored therein and at least one second physical data track having selected personal data stored therein, said portable optical media card further storing additional identification data corresponding to physical characteristic of at least one additional authorized person and additional personal data corresponding to each at least one additional authorized person;
an optical reader for reading said identification data from said first physical data track of said portable optical media card and said selected personal data from a selected one of said at least one second physical data track of said portable optical media card;
an input device for capturing physical characteristic data corresponding to a physical characteristic of a person;
a comparator connected to said optical reader and said input device for determining a degree of correspondence between said identification data for said authorized person and for each additional authorized person and said physical characteristic data; and
a transaction completion circuit connected to said comparator and said optical reader for permitting a transaction corresponding to said selected personal data read from said portable optical media card by said optical reader if said degree of correspondence between said identification data and said physical characteristic data for said authorized person or for any additional authorized person meets a predetermined match criteria, said transaction permitted corresponding to said selected personal data read from said portable optical media card corresponding to said authorized person or said additional authorized persons whose degree of correspondence between said identification data and said physical characteristic data meets said predetermined match criteria.

Abstract
A portable optical media imaging system for use in personal identification includes: a portable optical media card (13); an optical reader (34), having circuitry for reading information from the portable optical media card (13); an image scanner (30); an image system processor (31), including an encoder connected to the image scanner, and a comparator connected to the encoder and the optical reader; and transaction completion circuitry (33, 35, 36) connected to the comparator. This is also a method of personal identification verification. The method comprises: capturing a personal identification image directly from customer or operator; feeding the personal identification image into an encoder; capturing appropriate identification data from an optical media card; comparing the encoded image to the data from the optical media card; determining if the customer is true owner of the optical media credit card; and performing correct transaction. Alternatively, the method could comprise: capturing a personal identification image directly from customer or operator; capturing appropriate identification data from an optical media card; decoding the identification data from the optical media card; comparing the decoded data to the personal identification image from the customer or operator; determining if the customer is true owner of the optical media credit card; and performing correct transaction. In an alternative embodiment a microphone (101) and an audio system (102) capture voice print data for identity verification.
