Systems and methods for online identity verification
First Claim
1. A computerized method for administering a program to an individual over a computer network, the method comprising:
- configuring at least one processor(s) to perform steps of;
receiving a request from a web browser or computer program launched by a computer used by the individual for access to a web page or computer program comprising program material;
obtaining a first set of the individual'"'"'s biometric data and subsequently allowing the individual to access to the program material over the network prior to obtaining one or more additional sets of the individual'"'"'s biometric data;
obtaining continuously or periodically said one or more additional sets of the individual'"'"'s biometric data while the individual is accessing the program material;
correlating the one or more additional sets of biometric data with the first set of biometric data or correlating one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data with another one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data; and
terminating access to the program material once one or more of the data additional sets of biometric data does not match the first image set of biometric data or once one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data does not match another one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data.

Abstract
A system controlling online access to a study course verifies the identity of an individual taking a study course over a global computer network from a first computer at a node of the network. The first computer has a biometric identification program and communicates over the network with a second computer that is at a network node other than a node of the first computer. The second computer includes study program material. The first computer operates a biometric reader, which obtains a first set of biometric data from the individual and a second set of biometric data from the individual while access is granted to course material. The biometric identification program compares the first set of data with the second set of data to make a verification of the identity of the individual and communicates the verification to the second computer.

13. A computerized method for administering a program to an individual over a computer network, the method comprising:
-
configuring at least one processor to perform the steps of; receiving a request from a web browser or computer program launched by a computer used by the individual for access to a web page or computer program comprising program material; providing the individual with access to program material over the network; obtaining a first set of the individual'"'"'s biometric data and subsequently allowing the individual to access to the program material over the network prior to obtaining one or more additional sets of the individual'"'"'s biometric data; obtaining continuously or periodically said one or more additional sets of the individual'"'"'s biometric data while the individual is accessing the program material; correlating the one or more additional sets of biometric data with the first set of biometric data or correlating one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data with another one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data; and receiving a value from the computer, wherein the value is an access value if a biometric reader that communicates with the computer is activated and wherein the value changes to a decline value that terminates access to the program material once one or more of the additional sets of biometric data does not match the first set of biometric data or once one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data does not match another one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium and having a computer-executable instructions recorded on said storage medium for performing a method comprising:
-
receiving a request from a web browser or computer program launched by a computer used by an individual for access to a web page or computer program comprising program material; providing the individual with access to the program material; obtaining a first set of the individual'"'"'s biometric data and subsequently allowing the individual to access to the program material over the network prior to obtaining one or more additional sets of the individual'"'"'s biometric data; obtaining continuously or periodically said one or more additional sets of the individual'"'"'s biometric data while the individual is accessing the program material; and correlating the one or more additional sets of biometric data with the first set of biometric data or correlating one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data with another one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data; and terminating access to the program material once one or more of the additional sets of biometric data does not match the first set of biometric data or once one of the one or more additional sets of biometric data does not match another one of the one or more additional set of biometric data. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
