Optical card based system for individualized tracking and record keeping
First Claim
1. A self contained system for identifying and storing information pertaining to an individual, the information including biometric information about the individual, the information being stored on an optical card, the system comprising:
- read write means adapted for digitally reading from and writing in a digital format on the digital card;
means for obtaining biometric data from an individual;
data processing and storing means in communication with said read write means and said means for obtaining biometric data to compare data from said optical card and the data obtained from said means for obtaining biometric data and deliver data to the read write means for writing on the optical card; and
display means for displaying data from said data processing and storing means, so that the individual is identified by an image displayed on the display means and by the comparison of biometric data obtained from the individual and biometric data stored in the card, and so that information pertaining to the comparison is encoded on the card by said read write means.

Abstract
A self contained system for identifying and storing information pertaining to an individual, the information including biometric information about the individual, the information being stored on an optical card. The system includes a read write system adapted for digitally reading from and writing to the digital card. A device for obtaining biometric data from an individual is also attached to the system. A data processing and storing system provided in communication with the read write device and the device for obtaining biometric data to compare data from the optical card and the data obtained from the device for obtaining biometric data, and then deliver data to the read write system for writing on the optical card. Additionally, a display for displaying data from the data processing and storing system is also included, so that the individual is identified by an image displayed on the display and by the comparison of biometric data obtained from the individual and biometric data stored in the card, and so that information pertaining to the comparison is encoded on the card by the read write system.
