Biometric registration and verification system and method
First Claim
1. A biometric registration and verification system usable for registration, for verification and/or for participation, the system comprising:
- a biometric sensor for capturing identifying biometric data of a person to be registered;
a data entry device for receiving entered data;
a computer processor coupled to the biometric sensor and to the data entry device for receiving captured identifying biometric data and entered data, and for testing whether the received captured identifying biometric data satisfies predetermined quality thresholds and for a predetermined number of minutiae;
a registration database coupled to the computer processor for storing registration records representing the tested satisfactory identifying biometric data and the entered data for the person to be registered, wherein the tested satisfactory identifying biometric data of the person to be registered is related to the entered data in the database registration record thereof;
whereby the person to be registered is registered according to the stored registration record if the tested identifying biometric data satisfies the predetermined quality thresholds;
wherein the biometric sensor captures verification biometric data of a person to be verified;
wherein the data entry device receives verification data of the person to be verified;
wherein the computer processor tests whether the captured verification biometric data satisfies predetermined quality thresholds and for a predetermined number of minutiae andwherein the computer processor compares the tested satisfactory verification biometric data and the received verification data of the person to be verified with the identifying biometric data and entered data from the registration database; and
if the tested satisfactory verification biometric data and the received verification data of the person to be verified corresponds to identifying biometric data and entered data from the registration database, then providing an indication of verification of the person to be verified;
whereby the person to be verified is verified against the registration database record of the person registered.

Abstract
A biometric registration and verification system and method is usable for registration, for verification and/or for participation, and may comprise: a biometric sensor for capturing biometric data; a data entry device, a computer processor for receiving captured biometric data and entered data; and a database storing records thereof. The identifying biometric data may be related to the entered data in the database record. The biometric sensor may capture verification biometric data and the data entry device verification data; and the processor compares the verification biometric data and the received verification data with the identifying biometric data and entered data from the database. If the verification biometric data and the received verification data of the person to be verified corresponds to database identifying biometric data and entered data, then an indication of verification of the person is provided.

20. A biometric registration and verification method usable for registration, for verification and/or for participation, the method comprising:
-
capturing identifying biometric data of a person to be registered; receiving entered data; receiving captured identifying biometric data and entered data; testing whether the received captured identifying biometric data satisfies predetermined quality thresholds and for a predetermined number of minutiae; storing registration records representing the tested satisfactory identifying biometric data and the entered data for the person to be registered in a database, wherein the tested satisfactory identifying biometric data of the person to be registered is related to the entered data in the database registration record thereof; whereby the person to be registered is registered according to the stored registration record if the tested identifying biometric data satisfies the predetermined quality thresholds;
then;capturing verification biometric data of a person to be verified; receiving verification data of the person to be verified; testing whether the captured verification biometric data satisfies predetermined quality thresholds and for a predetermined number of minutiae; comparing the tested satisfactory verification biometric data and the received verification data of the person to be verified with the identifying biometric data and entered data from the registration database; and if the tested satisfactory verification biometric data and the received verification data of the person to be verified corresponds to identifying biometric data and entered data from the registration database, then providing an indication of verification of the person to be verified; whereby the person to be verified is verified against the registration database record of the person registered. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
