Abstract:
1. A method for accessing a central processor by means of a wearable computer for gaining physical access, financial access, and data access as approved by an issuing authority, said method comprising: a. receiving a user request at a processor remote from said wearable computer for physical access into a secure area or for access or entry of secure data or for financial access to purchase goods or services at a terminal; b. determining at a processing computer remote from said wearable computer if said wearable computer has been authorized for purpose of said user request by said issuing authority; c. prompting said wearable computer from a prompting processor remote from said wearable computer to submit fingerprint data to gain said physical access or said data access or said financial access; d. receiving user sensed fingerprint data submitted from said wearable computer, said receiving occurring in a processing computer remote from said wearable computer, said wearable computer enabling said user to have both hands free for said physical, financial and data access request except when submitting said fingerprint data, reference fingerprint data having been previously registered to authenticate user identity; e. comparing said sensed fingerprint data submitted through said wearable computer with said reference fingerprint in a comparing processor, said comparing processor being remote from said wearable computer; f. approving said user request to said physical access to said secure area and said data access if said user is authorized by said issuing authority, authentication of user identity being made at least in part based upon a comparison of said sensed fingerprint data with reference fingerprint data by an authorizing processor remote from said wearable computer; and g. approving said user request for said financial access if said user is authorized by said issuing authority and an account balance has not been exceeded, authentication of user identity being made at least in part based upon a comparison of said sensed fingerprint data with reference fingerprint data by an authorizing processor remote from said wearable computer.
