Face and environment sensing watch
First Claim
1. A method for authenticating the identity of a person comprising:
- obtaining baseline samples of biometric data from the person;
forming a baseline profile from the biometric data;
repeatedly obtaining additional biometric data from the person in response to the person accessing a portable device for information comprising time of day;
comparing the additional data to the baseline profile for authenticating identity of the person; and
developing a response to said comparing.

Abstract
A face and environment sensing portable device. In a preferred embodiment, the device is wrist-worn by a person, similarly to a wristwatch. The portable device includes one or more sensing elements, such as an image-capturing device, a microphone or other environmental sensor, and a processing system for processing data obtained from the sensing element(s). In addition, the portable device may include input/output elements for interfacing the portable device with a person and with external systems. The portable device reliably authenticates the identity of the person based on information obtained from the sensing element(s) and may also determine whether the user has been in continuous possession of the device. By using multi-modal identification, the invention may provide increased confidence, while maintaining a low cost. This verification may then be used, for example, to enable the person to conduct secure transactions.

23. An apparatus for authenticating the identity of a person, comprising:
-
a portable display for providing information to a user of the apparatus, the information comprising time of day;
means for repeatedly obtaining an image of the user in response to the user accessing the apparatus for the time of day information; and
a memory for storing a baseline profile of the user, wherein the images are compared to the baseline profile for authenticating the identity of the person. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
