Preauthorized wearable biometric device, system and method for use thereof
First Claim
1. A method for authenticating a user using a biometric device that performs actions including:
- capturing at least one biometric feature of the user that is wearing the biometric device, wherein the at least one biometric feature includes an electrocardiogram of the user;
authenticating the user of the biometric device based on the at least one biometric feature, wherein the authentication includes;
communicating information that includes the at least one biometric feature to an authorized authentication device (AAD) that is separate from the biometric device; and
comparing the at least one biometric feature to a biometric profile that corresponds to the user and is stored on the AAD, wherein the biometric device is preauthorized for the user when the biometric profile stored on the AAD corresponds to the at least one biometric feature; and
when the user is authenticated, preauthorizing the biometric device for the user;
when the preauthorized biometric device senses at least one access point, providing an authorization signal to the at least one access point; and
wherein the user is provided access to the at least one access point based on at least an affirmative confirmation of the authorization signal by the at least one access point.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed towards authenticating users using biometric devices. The biometric device may be arranged to capture one or more biometric feature of a user that may be wearing the biometric device such as biometric features that correspond to an electrocardiogram of the user. The user of the biometric device may be authenticated based on one or more biometric features, or a combination thereof. Authenticating the user of the biometric device, may include communicating information that includes biometric features to an authorized authentication device (AAD). When the user is authenticated, the biometric device may be preauthorized for the user. When the preauthorized biometric device senses at least one access point, an authorization signal may be provided to the access point. If the preauthorized biometric device is removed from the user, the biometric device is deauthorized, disabling access to access points by the user.
