Claim Text:
1. A biometric notification system (“BNS”) with facial recognition services for identifying a predetermined person using biometrics and notifying at least one user of the system, the system comprising: an image acquiring system for capturing a first content including a first feature set; wherein the first content is captured by a video camera of the image acquisition system; a frame isolator of the image acquiring system that selects a particular frame from multiple frames captured by the video camera of the image acquisition system, the frame including a face image; a face image isolator of the image acquisition system that isolates the face image from the selected particular frame; wherein the first feature set is derived from the isolated face image; a comparison module, implemented in a computing device and a database of cases; each case comprising a second content and assigned to at least one of a plurality of case groups; the second content of at least one of the cases including a second feature set of the predetermined person; providing one or more matched cases identified by the comparison module when the first feature set matches the second feature set of one or more cases; and, providing one or more of plural receiving nodes for receiving a notification component that corresponds to one or more a particular matched cases; wherein less than all of the cases in the database of cases provide a subset of one or more database cases from the matching identified by the comparison module, implemented in the computing device; wherein (i) case groups are attached to user groups so that one or more user groups intended to receive the notification component can be identified and (ii) receiving nodes are associated with users or user groups so that one or more of the plural receiving nodes that serve the intended recipients can be identified; and an account management module for use by a system administrator; and the account management module providing the system administrator with means for granting BNS access of the biometric notification system (“BNS”) to plural users and with means for associating each of the plural users with a receiving node.
