Biometric transaction system and method
First Claim
1. A data processing system, the data processing system comprising:
- an entity device that establishes a communication link;
wherein the entity device receives a request to verify the identity of an individual, wherein the request includes an individual device code that establishes a communication link with an individual device capable of biometric input;
wherein the individual device is identified via the individual device code;
wherein a communication link is established with the identified individual device wherein the individual is identified via biometric data;
wherein the biometric data is received from the individual via the individual device;
wherein individual registered biometric data associated with the individual device code is determined;
wherein the received biometric data is compared with the determined registered biometric data to produce a successful or failed comparison;
wherein via the established communication link with the entity device, the entity device is notified of a result of the comparison, wherein the result verifies or denies the identity of the individual; and
wherein the individual device code is one or more of a digital certificate, a Subscriber Identity Module code, a code for enabling short-range transmissions, a telephone number, an Electronic Serial Number, a mobile identification number, a hardware identification code, and an encryption of a challenge message using a private key.

Abstract
A system for enabling identity verification of an individual in a transaction between the individual and an entity that utilizes a data processing system, an entity device, and an individual device. The individual registers with the data processing system biometric data taken from the individual and data pertaining to an individual device. The entity registers with the data processing system entity identifying information. Once the individual and entity agree on a transaction, the entity notifies the data processing system of the pending transaction and requests verification of the individual'"'"'s identity. The individual communicates to the data processing system individual biometric data. The data processing system compares the biometric data from the individual with registered biometric data. The data processing system forwards a result of the comparison to the entity and upon a successful comparison, may forward any requested information regarding the individual to the entity.

11. A data processing system, the data processing system comprising:
-
an entity device; a communication link established with the entity device; wherein individual data stored in association with ID code is located, the individual data at least comprising biometric data and the ID code received via the established communication link with the entity device to verify the identity of the an individual; wherein the ID code to facilitate communications with an individual device is utilized; wherein an individual is prompted to present biometric data via the individual device; wherein the presented biometric data is received; and wherein, via the established communication link with the entity device, the identity of the individual to the entity device based on a successful match of received individual data to stored individual data is verified; and wherein the ID code is one or more of a digital certificate, a Subscriber Identity Module code, a code for enabling short-range transmissions, a telephone number, an Electronic Serial Number, a mobile identification number, a hardware identification code, and an encryption of a challenge message using a private key. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A system comprising:
-
one or more data stores that store data that one or more of an entity and an individual registers with a data processing system, the data at least comprising entity identifier data and entity device data and individual identifier data and individual device data, the individual identifier data including biometric data; a biometric comparison mechanism that compares biometric data; a linking mechanism that holds data that pertains to one or more of an entity request and an individual request; and an execution module that communicates with one or more of an entity device and an individual device and retrieves data registered with the data processing system based upon a prompt provided via one or more of the entity device and the individual device. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16)
