Person identification control method and system for implementing same
First Claim
1. A method of identification control of persons, comprising a phase of generating a unique means of identification associated with at least one person comprising the following steps:
- /a/ detecting biometric data relating to said person;
/b/ searching for a match between the biometric data relating to said person and biometric data previously stored in a biometric database, the biometric database not containing identities of persons in association with the biometric data stored, said previously stored biometric data relating to persons for which means of identification have been previously generated; and
,when no match has been found;
/c/ generating a means of identification associated with said person from biometric data relating to said person and at least one identity of said person,the method furthermore comprising a second phase of granting at least one entitlement to said person, in which;
/d/ said person identifies themselves with the aid of the means of identification which has been previously associated therewith; and
/e/ said entitlement is granted to said person when said entitlement has not already been granted to said person a number of times equal to a predetermined number, by consulting, in a database of entitlements, the entitlements already granted to persons, on the basis of an identifier, wherein the method is performed using a processor.

Abstract
The invention relates to a person identification control method and to a system for implementing same. The inventive method comprises the following steps consisting in: detecting biometric data (23, 48, 79, 94, 108) relating to at least one person; seeking a concordance between the biometric data relating to the person and biometric data that have been pre-stored in a biometric database (26, 51, 83, 97, 110), said pre-stored biometric data relating to persons for whom identification means have already been generated; and, when no concordance is found, generating an identification means (29, 56, 84, 98, 103, 111) that is associated with the person from the biometric data relating to the person and at least one identity (24, 49, 80, 95, 117) for said person.
