BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION DEVICE WITH REMOVABLE CARD CAPABILITIES
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- reading, via a personal identification device, an identifier associated with a removable card at least partially disposed in a housing of the personal identification device, the identifier being stored on an integrated circuit of the removable card;
determining, at the personal identification device, whether a stored identifier matches the identifier associated with the removable card;
determining, at either the personal identification device or the removable card, whether a biometric input provided by the user via a biometric sensor of the personal identification device matches a stored biometric template associated with the user, after the stored identifier is determined to match the identifier associated with the removable card; and
sending, via the personal identification device, a signal indicating that the biometric input matches the stored biometric template.

Abstract
A removable card-enabled BPID Security Device integrates a removable card reader with a biometric authentication component to provide secured access to electronic systems. The device allows for an individual to insert a removable card into an aperture in the physical enclosure of the BPID Security Device, allowing the removable card and the BPID Security Device to electronically communicate with each other. The BPID Security Device is based on a custom application specific integrated circuit that incorporates removable card terminals, such that the BPID Security Device can communicate directly with an inserted removable card. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the BPID Security Device is based on a commercial off-the-shelf microprocessor, and may communicate with a commercial off-the-shelf microprocessor removable card receiver using a serial, USB, or other type of communication protocol. The device allows for enrolling a user'"'"'s credentials onto the BPID Security Device and for authenticating an individual using the BPID Security Device.

10. A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor disposed within a housing of a portable personal identification device, the code comprising code to cause the processor to:
-
read an identifier stored on an integrated circuit of a removable card at least partially disposed in the housing of the personal identification device; determine whether the identifier associated with the removable card matches a stored identifier; determine whether a biometric input matches a stored biometric template associated with the user, after the stored identifier is determined to match the identifier associated with the removable card; and send, via the personal identification device, a signal responsive to a determination that the biometric input matches the stored biometric template. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
determining, via a processor of a personal identification device, whether a biometric input of a user matches a stored biometric template associated with the user, the stored biometric template having previously been associated with an identification credential of a removable card, the removable card being at least partially disposed within a housing of the personal identification device during the determining, the removable card having an integrated circuit including the identification credential; wirelessly transmitting, via a transceiver coupled to the housing, the identification credential to at least one external device after the biometric input is determined to match the stored biometric template; and permitting the user to access previously stored electronic data only after the biometric input is determined to match the stored biometric template, the previously stored electronic data being associated with the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
