Patent ID: 7609145

Claim:
A method of associating a person's fingerprint and facial identification data, including the steps of: (a) capturing a static identifier from a person; (b) simultaneously with the capture of the static identifier, measuring a time-varying biometric parameter of the person at the location the static identifier is captured, and measuring and displaying information representative of the time-varying biometric parameter at a second location proximal to the person's face; (c) simultaneously with the capture of the static identifier, capturing in a single visual image, data of representative of the person's facial characteristics and the information displayed at the second location at the time of the visual capture; (d) intermingling with the visual image data of the facial characteristics with, (i) the static identifier captured at the time visual image data was captured, and (ii) the time-varying biometric parameter measured at the same time the visual image and static identifier was measured to form a data set unique to the person at the time the visual image was captured; and (e) recognizing the association only if the measurement of the time-varying biometric parameter measured at the location of the static identifier capture matches the measurement of the time-varying biometric parameter at the time the visual image is captured.
