System and method for remote self-enrollment in biometric databases
First Claim
1. A method of providing a service from a service provider institution for capturing biometric data, comprising the steps of:
- acquiring biometric data from one or more biometric sensors;
authenticating an enrollee associated with the biometric data;
enrolling the authenticated enrollee associated with the biometric data, wherein the acquiring occurs externally from equipment that requires an identification;
verifying individual samplings of the biometric data for quality at the time of enrollment based on a pre-determined threshold;
verifying whether the enrollee presenting the biometric data is authenticated at the time of enrollment;
verifying the biometric data according to pre-determined verification standards requiring;
two fingers presented simultaneously for fingerprinting;
a fingerprint and an eye scan performed sequentially; and
a voice scan and face scan performed simultaneously;
signing a request of a third party with a private key stored on a biometric enrollment device and associated with the third party, the signing denoting that the biometric data is verified for a transaction between the third party and the enrollee; and
sending the signed third party request to the third party to complete authenticating of the transaction.

Abstract
A method and system is provided to provide enrollment of biometric data from individuals without the need for the enrollees to travel to a central location. The system and method provides for optionally detecting multiple types of biometric data, for example, fingerprints, facial scan, visual scan, iris scan, voice scan, or the like, to be captured at the point of enrollee use. During the biometric capture process, the biometric enrollment device monitors and establishes the identity of the enrollee and measures the quality of the biometric input as it occurs. If unacceptable quality is detected, then repeated biometric scans may be necessary, but is done at time of enrollment avoiding any need to send inaccurate information back to a service institution. When the enrollment process completes, the biometric data is encrypted, time stamped and either mailed back to the service institution or is transmitted back. The biometric device may remain with the user for subsequent use as an identification sensor which may authenticate a user with stored biometric information to authenticate a user'"'"'s identity for a transaction or a request to access a service or equipment. The biometric enrollment device may also be embodied with another piece of equipment to authenticate use of that equipment.

22. A method of providing a service from a service provider institution for capturing biometric data, comprising the steps of:
-
acquiring biometric data from one or more biometric sensors; enrolling an enrollee associated with the biometric data, wherein individual samplings of the biometric data are verified for quality at the time of enrollment based on a pre-determined threshold; delivering the biometric data associated with the enrollee to a service provider; receiving a request from a third party for authenticating a transaction between the third party and the enrollee; verifying the third party as a valid third party authorized for a type of the transaction being requested; authenticating an enrollee using at least one of a password, a user identification and a previously stored biometric prior to the enrolling step and limiting access until the authenticating is successful; signing a request of a third party with a private key stored on a biometric enrollment device and associated with the third party, the signing denoting that the biometric data is verified for a transaction between the third party and the enrollee; verifying the acquired biometric data meets pre-determined verification standards requiring; two fingers presented simultaneously for fingerprinting, a fingerprint and an eye scan performed sequentially, and a voice scan and face scan performed simultaneously; encrypting the biometric data producing encrypted biometric data; and generating a time stamp of when the enrolling occurs.

23. A computer program product comprising a tangible computer usable storage memory device having readable program code embodied in the tangible computer usable storage memory device, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on a computing device, provides a service from a service provider institution and is operable to cause the computing device to
acquire biometric data from one or more biometric sensors; -
enroll an enrollee associated with the biometric data, wherein individual samplings of the biometric data are verified for quality at the time of enrollment by comparing the biometric data to a pre-determined threshold; verify whether the enrollee presenting the biometric data is authenticated at the time of enrollment; verify the biometric data according to pre-determined verification standards requiring; two fingers presented simultaneously for fingerprinting; a fingerprint and an eye scan performed sequentially; and a voice scan and face scan performed simultaneously; deliver the biometric data associated with the enrollee to a service provider; sign a request of a third party with a private key stored on a biometric enrollment device and associated with the third party, the signing denoting that the biometric data is verified for a transaction between the third party and the enrollee; and send the signed third party request to the third party to complete authenticating of the transaction. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25)
