I claim: 1. An apparatus for assisting an operator's decision making in connection with controlled activities that require a minimum participant age based upon encoded data stored on an identification document, the apparatus comprising: means for inputting a code associated with a beginning or an end of an operator's shift; means for recording the code and a time of the code's input; means for reading the encoded data and generating an encoded data signal; means for providing a comparison data signal; processing means for receiving the encoded data signal and the comparison data signal, determining if the encoded data supports at least the minimum age, and outputting an age control signal; means for prompting the operator to make a visual comparison; means for inputting the results of the operator's comparison; and means for receiving the age control signal and the operator's input, and outputting a human recognizable indicator of whether the presented document indicates that a potential participant is of at least the minimum age for the controlled activity.
18. A method for controlling activities that require a minimum participant age based upon age data encoded on a presented identification document comprising the steps of: inputting a code associated with a beginning or an end of an operator's shift; recording the code and a time of the code's input; presenting the identification document to an encoded data reader that generates an encoded data signal; supplying a current date signal; comparing the encoded data signal and current date signal; determining whether the comparison supports at least the minimum age for the controlled activity and generating an age determination signal; prompting an operator to make a visual comparison; receiving an input from an operator indicating a result of the visual comparison; and receiving the age determination signal and the operator's input, and outputting a human recognizable indicator of whether the presented document indicates that a potential participant is of at least the minimum age for the controlled activity.
21. The method of claim 18 further comprising the steps of: inputting an operator authorization code; checking the authorization code to determine whether the operator is authorized to change the date signal; and enabling an authorized operator to input changes in the date signal.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a device for reading encoded information stored in at least one machine readable medium on an identification document, such as a driver's license. The encoded information may be visibly encoded on the document (e.g. a barcode), stored on a magnetic stripe or stored on any other type of machine readable medium. The device uses the encoded age data to calculate the age of the bearer using the current calendar data. After calculating the age, the device preferably prompts an operator to make an additional comparison of the photograph on the identification document with the bearer. The operator of the device indicates a positive match by pushing a keypad button. For added security, the authorized bearer's epidermal topography may be stored in a machine readable form on the identification document. That epidermal topography can be read from the identification document and compared with the scanned epidermal topography of the presenter for verification. The device may have a time of use function to indicate when the operator begins and ends utilizing the device.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a typical identification document, such as a driver's license;
