Patent ID: 7565548

Claim:
A machine-implemented method comprising: collecting a plurality of biometric prints, each of the plurality of biometric prints being collected within the same session; a portion of a body exists whose scan is included in each of the plurality of biometric prints collected; for each of the plurality of biometric prints determining a value associated with how many unique aspects are discernable for at least one biometric print that was obtained during a current usage; for each of the plurality of biometric prints determining whether to accept or reject the at least one biometric print based on a comparison of the value to a predetermined threshold; for each of the plurality of biometric prints accepting or rejecting the at least one biometric print, based on the determining of whether to accept or reject; for each of the plurality of biometric prints, at least temporarily storing the unique aspects as a representation of a set of two or more biometric prints from the plurality of biometric prints, the each biometric print being included in the set if the biometric print was accepted during the accepting or rejecting, and each biometric print not being included in the set if the biometric print was rejected during the accepting or rejecting; and determining whether to grant access based on a comparison of an accepted biometric print to a representation of the set of two or more biometric prints.
