Patent ID: 7774254

Claim:
A system for storing vital records, comprising: scanning images via a kiosk; creating a new user account with new billing information upon each visit to the kiosk; associating the user information with the images; accepting payment from the user; preventing onlookers, at different viewing angles from the user, from viewing the user information and the images on a display screen in communication with the kiosk, the display screen configured to only allow the user looking straight ahead at the display screen and actively using the kiosk to view contents on the display screen; reviewing the user information and the images on the display screen; pre-selecting the user information and the images to be scanned prior to scanning; uploading the images and the user information to a secure server, with the user pushing a pre-designated button and not typing and labeling the images to be scanned; deleting the images, the images having been scanned by the user at the kiosk, and the user information automatically from the kiosk; routing personal information through a separate secure server; retaining the images and the user information on the secure server such that the images and the user information retained on the secure server are each stored together and confined to a pre-selected storage plan; providing online links to the images and the user information that is retained on the secure server such that the images and the user information that is retained on the secure server can be viewed while being stored; retrieving the images and the user information stored in the secure server from a device other than the kiosk; preventing downloading at the kiosk; and only accessing a username and password of the user through a computer and secure network, but not the kiosk.
