1. A Radio Frequency (RF) payment device, comprising:
- a first and a second RF transponder configured to receive a device authentication code from an RF Identification (RFID) reader;
a unique device encryption key corresponding to a device identification code associated with the RF payment device;
a facial scan sensor configured to detect a proffered facial scan sample to create proffered facial scan sample data; and
a device authentication circuit configured to use the unique device encryption key to encrypt the device authentication code and a device account code associated with the RF payment device to create an encrypted device authentication code and an encrypted device account code;
wherein the first and the second RF transponder is configured to transmit at least one of the encrypted device authentication code and the encrypted device account code to the RFID reader, andwherein the facial scan sensor comprises a switch configured to place the first and the second RF transponder in at least one of a selectivity mode or an inclusivity mode, wherein the selectivity mode includes enabling purchase of an item using a selected account number and the inclusivity mode includes the first and the second RF transponder in an operational mode permitting the first and the second RF transponder to be responsive to interrogation.

Abstract
The present invention discloses a system and methods for biometric security using hand geometry recognition biometrics in a transponder-reader system. The biometric security system also includes a hand geometry scan sensor that detects biometric samples and a device for verifying biometric samples. In one embodiment, the biometric security system includes a transponder configured with a hand geometry scan sensor. In another embodiment, the system includes a reader configured with a hand geometry scan sensor. In yet another embodiment, the present invention discloses methods for proffering and processing hand geometry scan samples to facilitate authorization of transactions.

7. A method for registering and using proffered facial scan sample data for facilitating a Radio Frequency (RF) transaction, comprising:
- detecting a proffered facial scan sample at a facial scan sensor to create the proffered facial scan sample data;
associating the proffered facial scan sample data with at least one of an RF device, a user identifier, or a transaction account; verifying the proffered facial scan sample data to activate the RF device and to confirm the proffered facial scan sample data to create registered facial scan sample data; receiving a transaction request from the RF device, wherein the transaction request comprises transaction facial scan sample data; authorizing the transaction request in response to the transaction facial scan sample data matching the registered facial scan sample data; and placing a first and a second RF transponder in at least one of a selectivity mode or an inclusivity mode in the RF device, wherein the selectivity mode includes enabling purchase of an item using a selected account number and the inclusivity mode includes the first and the second RF transponder in an operational mode permitting the first and the second RF transponder to be responsive to interrogation. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
