Patent ID: 8830032

Claim:
A method for biometric-based identity confirmation, comprising: receiving a submitted identity of an individual taking a test, the test comprising a breath alcohol analysis test; receiving a biometric reading from the individual via a lip print reader coupled to a testing apparatus associated with the test, wherein the lip print reader comprises at least one of an optical lip print reader, an active capacitance lip print reader, and a passive capacitance lip print reader; digitizing the biometric reading; transmitting the digitized biometric reading to a device remote from the testing apparatus; determining, at the device remote from the testing apparatus, a biometric-based identity of the individual using the digitized biometric reading; confirming, at the device remote from the testing apparatus, whether the submitted identity matches the biometric-based identity; notifying the individual if the submitted identity does match the biometric-based identity; and denying a result of the test if the submitted identity does not match the biometric-based identity; wherein the lip print reader is configured to detect features comprising: grooves that run vertically across a lip of the individual; straight grooves that disappear half-way into the lip of the individual; grooves that fork on the lip of the individual; grooves that intersect on the lip of the individual; grooves that are reticulate on the lip of the individual; and grooves of other morphologies on the lip of the individual.
