METHOD FOR SEQUENTIAL BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION AND MOBILE STATION
First Claim
1. Method for performing biometric authentication with a mobile station (1) that is provided with a camera (11) and a display (13) on its front side and that is provided with an integrated authentication server (120) or is connectable to an authentication server (2) via a network such as mobile communications network (52), comprising the steps ofa) enrolling the user in the biometric system by capturing and storing biometric data relating to a plurality of characteristics that belong to the user'"'"'s head and that are normally exposed to the mobile station during the process of accepting a call;
- b) initiating or accepting a call on mobile station (1);
c) activating the camera (11) when initiating, receiving, or accepting the call and capturing optical information in one or a plurality of sequences at least between the setup or acceptance of the call and the start of the conversation and transferring the captured optical information to the authentication server (2);
d) authenticating the user by comparing the optical information with the biometric data previously captured during the enrolment process, by identifying and matching characteristics that had been captured from different angles during the process auf setting up or accepting and starting conversation; and
e) performing defined actions depending on the result of the authentication.

Abstract
A method of performing biometric authentication with a mobile station having a camera, front side display and integrated authentication server, or is connectable to an authentication server via a mobile communications network, includes:
enrolling the user in a biometric system by capturing and storing biometric data relating to a plurality of characteristics of the user'"'"'s head normally exposed to the mobile station during the process of accepting a call; activating the camera when initiating, receiving, or accepting a call and capturing optical information in one or a plurality of sequences at least between the setup or acceptance of the call and the start of the conversation and transferring the captured optical information to the authentication server; authenticating the user by comparing the optical information with the biometric data previously captured, by identifying and matching characteristics captured from different angles; and performing defined actions as a result of the authentication.
