Biometric access control transactions
First Claim
1. An access control processor card, comprising:
- a fingerprint sensor configured to receive input biometric information from a finger of a user;
a processor, coupled to the fingerprint sensor, configured to authenticate user identity by interrogating the input biometric information against a pre-stored user biometric profile stored within the card and by verifying a password or a token, the input biometric information including both a pressure profile and an optical image for the user;
a communication element coupled to the processor and configured to activate upon the authentication of the input biometric information;
permanently deactivate one or more functions of the access control processor card after determining that the input biometric information and the pre-stored biometric information do not match after a predetermined number of attempted entries; and
reactivate the one or more permanently deactivated functions of the access control processor card when a master lock combination is input into the card.

Abstract
Aspects and embodiments of the present disclosure provide devices and methods for biometric authentication of a user during access control transactions. In one aspect, an access control processor device, comprising a biometric input sensor configured to receive user biometric information; a biometric verification processor configured to authenticate the input user biometric information; and a communication element configured to activate when the biometric information entered into the biometric verification system is authenticated and maintain an inactive status for the communication element on the payment processor device when the biometric information entered into the biometric verification system is not authenticated.

7. A method of authenticating a user for an access control transaction, comprising:
-
receiving user biometric information into a biometric verification system in an access control processing device, the user biometric information including both a pressure profile and an optical image for the user; authenticating the user biometric information entered into the biometric verification system in combination with a password or a token; activating a communication element in the access control processing device when the input biometric information entered into the biometric verification system is authenticated; maintaining an inactive status for the communication element in the access control processing device when the biometric information entered into the biometric verification system is not authenticated; permanently deactivating one or more functions of the card after the user biometric information entered into the biometric verification system and a pre-stored biometric information do not match after a predetermined number of attempted entries; and reactivating the one or more permanently deactivated functions of the card when a master lock combination is input into the card. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

22. A non-transitory computer readable medium, encoded with data and instructions, such that when executed by an access control processing device, the instruction causes the device to:
-
receive user biometric information into a biometric verification system, the user biometric information including both a pressure profile and an optical image for a user; generate input user biometric information profile; authenticate input user biometric information entered in the biometric verification system with pre-stored authorized user biometric profile in combination with a password or a token; activate a communication element on the access control processing device when the biometric information entered into the biometric verification system is authenticated; maintain an inactive status for the communication element on the access control processing device when the biometric information entered into the biometric verification system is not authenticated; permanently deactivate one or more functions of the access control processing device after the user biometric information entered into the biometric verification system and a pre-stored biometric information do not match after a predetermined number of attempted entries; and reactivate the one or more permanently deactivated functions of the access control processing device when a master lock combination is input into the card. - View Dependent Claims (23)
