Communication card for mobile network devices and authentication method for users of mobile network devices
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A removable communication card, comprising:
- an identification module operable to store identification data for users in a network, the identification data having data for authentication of the users in the network;
a measurement device operable to capture a first and a second biometric feature of one user, the first biometric feature being different from the second biometric feature; and
an analysis module having a processor unit, the analysis module being operable to attempt verification of a match between the first and the second biometric features of the one user and the identification data to authenticate the one user, wherein;
the identification data comprises code for initialization of the identification data;
biometric data of the one user is assigned to the identification data, during the initialization of the identification data;
the measurement device captures the first biometric feature of the one user;
in a case where the analysis module verifies a match between the first biometric feature and the identification data, the one user is authenticated in the network using the identification data; and
in a case where the analysis module cannot verify a match between the first biometric feature and the identification data, the measurement device captures the second biometric feature of the one user and the analysis module verifies a match for the second biometric feature with the identification data, to authenticate the one user in the network using the identification data.

Abstract
A removable communication card for mobile network devices, and respectively a corresponding authentication method applied therewith. The removable communication card includes an identification module for storing identification data for users, a measurement device for capturing a first biometric feature and a second biometric feature of a user, and an analysis module with a processor unit for comparison of the first and the second biometric features with the stored identification data for the user.

15. A method, the method comprising:
in a removable communication card; identifying one user; assigning biometric data of the one user to stored identification data for the one user; capturing a first biometric feature of the one user; comparing the first biometric feature of the one user with the stored identification data for the one user; authenticating the one user upon a successful matching of the first biometric feature of the one user with the stored identification data, in a network using the identification data; capturing a second biometric feature of the one user upon an unsuccessful matching of the captured first biometric feature of the one user with the stored identification data, the second biometric feature being different from the captured first biometric feature; comparing the second biometric feature of the one user with the stored biometric identification data; and authenticating the one user upon a successful matching of the second biometric feature of the one user with the stored identification data, in the network using the identification data. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
