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 one or more biometric features of the user of the biometric device;
authenticating the user of the biometric device based on the one or more biometric features, wherein the authentication includes;
communicating information that includes the one or more biometric features to an authorized authentication device (AAD) that is separate from the biometric device; and
comparing the one or more biometric features to a biometric profile that corresponds to the user and is stored on the AAD, wherein the AAD preauthorizes the biometric device for the user when the biometric profile stored on the AAD corresponds to the one or more biometric features; and
providing the preauthorization to one or more access points, wherein the user is provided access to the one or more access points based on the preauthorization of the biometric device.

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.
