Abstract

A system or device includes a substrate and a plurality of sides. A plurality of pixel stacks, each of which includes a plurality of pixel elements, or a plurality of input layers are positioned on at least one of the sides. The pixel stacks or input layers are configured to receive a plurality of biometric, or multi-biometric, inputs, and at least one biometric input passes entirely through at least one pixel element or at least one pixel layer before being received by another pixel element or layer.

Claims

1. A device, comprising:

an exterior surface;

a substrate having a plurality of sides; and

a plurality of pixel stacks positioned on at least one of the plurality of sides, each pixel stack of the plurality of pixel stacks including a plurality of pixel elements overlapping in a direction transverse to the substrate, the plurality of pixel elements including at least a first input pixel element and a second input pixel element, the second input pixel element positioned transversely between the first input pixel element and the substrate, the first input pixel element configured to receive a first type of biometric input transmitted through the exterior surface, and the second input pixel element configured to receive a second type of biometric input different from the first type of biometric input transmitted through the exterior surface and the first input pixel element.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein the first input pixel element receives the first type of biometric input and the second input pixel element receives the second type of biometric input simultaneously.

3. The device of claim 2, wherein the first type of biometric input is correlated with the second type of biometric input and any other biometric input received simultaneously with the first type of biometric input.

4. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first biometric input and the second biometric input is analyzed and compared against data stored in a non-transitory memory to authenticate a user, and if the user is not authenticated, the device locks and at least one of a last received first biometric input and a last received second biometric input is stored in the non-transitory memory.

5. The device of claim 4, wherein the device includes a plurality of functions, the functions are enabled by a plurality of authentication levels, and each of a higher authentication level requires at least one additional biometric input more than a lower authentication level.

6. The device of claim 1, wherein data representing at least one of the first biometric input and the second biometric input is transmitted wirelessly to a network and stored in a non-transitory memory of a network connected server.

7. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first biometric input and the second biometric input corresponding to an each action taken on or with the device is stored in a non-transitory memory.

8. The device of claim 1, further including a plurality of pinhole passages, wherein each pinhole passage of the plurality of pinhole passages extends entirely through at least one of the first pixel element and the second pixel element.

9. The device of claim 1, each pixel stack of the plurality of pixel stacks further including at least one output pixel element.

10. The device of claim 9, wherein each input pixel element and each output pixel element can be individually controlled.

11. The device of claim 1, further including a quantum entanglement device.

12. The device of claim 1, wherein at least one of the first biometric input and the second biometric input is analyzed and compared against biometric data stored in a non-transitory memory to authenticate a user and to determine that the user is alive.

13. A system, comprising:

an exterior surface;

a substrate having a plurality of sides;

a processor positioned on the substrate;

a plurality of input layers positioned on at least one of the plurality of sides and overlapping in a longitudinal direction in an elevation view of the at least one of the plurality of sides and the plurality of input layers, the overlapping input layers configured to receive multi-biometric inputs transmitted through the exterior surface, the multi-biometric inputs including a plurality of different types of biometric inputs, each input layer of the plurality of input layers configured to receive one of the different types of biometric inputs; and

a non-transitory memory positioned on the substrate;

wherein

at least one biometric input of the multi-biometric inputs passes through at least one of the plurality of overlapping input layers,

the multi-biometric inputs are stored in the non-transitory memory, and

each biometric input of the multi-biometric inputs is analyzed by the processor.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the multi-biometric inputs gain a user access to at least a portion of the system.

15. The system of claim 14, wherein the portion comprises at least one of the processor and the non-transitory memory.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein analysis of the multi-biometric inputs provides an authentication of a user, and wherein a card or service is stored in the non-transitory memory, and the authentication enables access to the card or service.

17. The system of claim 16, wherein if the user is not authenticated, the system locks and the last known multi-biometric inputs are stored in the non-transitory memory.

18. The system of claim 16, wherein the service is an automatic payment function predetermined by the user based on at least one user setting.

19. The system of claim 13, wherein functions of the system are enabled by a plurality of authentication levels, and each of a higher authentication level requires that the multi-biometric inputs includes at least one additional biometric input more than is required for a previous, lower authentication level.

20. The system of claim 13, wherein the multi-biometric inputs are analyzed and compared against biometric data stored in the non-transitory memory to authenticate a user and to determine that the user is alive.

21. The system of claim 13, wherein the multi-biometric inputs corresponding to an each action taken on or with the system is stored in the non-transitory memory.

22. The system of claim 13, further including at least one output layer positioned to overlap the plurality of input layers.

23. The system of claim 13, wherein the multi-biometric inputs are transmitted wirelessly to a network and stored in non-transitory memory of a network connected server.

24. The system of claim 13, wherein each input layer of the plurality of input layers receives a biometric input of the multi-biometric inputs simultaneously.

25. The system of claim 24, wherein each biometric input of the multi-biometric input is correlated with any other biometric input received simultaneously with the each biometric input.
