First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of creating a template for biometric authentication, the method comprising:
- extracting biometric feature data from a biometric sample, wherein the extracted biometric feature data is reproducibly extractable from the biometric sample;
applying a predetermined selection criterion to the extracted biometric feature data, wherein the predetermined selection criterion is based on a probability of registering portions of the extracted biometric feature data with corresponding portions of reference biometric feature data stored in a biometric feature reference template; and
storing the extracted biometric feature data in a biometric feature sample template in a prioritized order based on the determined probability of registration with the biometric feature reference template.

Abstract
An authentication mechanism for use with biometric systems which optimizes data extraction on areas or regions having a high probability of matching a reference biometric template, allows a reduction in both the size and number of data packet transmissions to be made to a biometric matching engine and includes data packet transmission prioritization.
