Patent ID: 6961450

Claim:
A user identification method using an electronic identification system comprising at least a first and a second electronic identification device connected by at least one telecommunication line, the method comprising the steps of: forming a user database in each electronic identification device and identifying a user, wherein: the step of forming the user database comprises the steps of: a) identifying living matter on an identification surface of the first identification device while the a user's hand is placed on the identification surface, b) scanning the hand when living matter is identified on the identification surface, c) forming a set of geometry parameters corresponding to characteristics of the hand, d) converting the set of geometry parameters into an analyzed identification code, e) entering the analyzed identification code and individual information of the user in the user database in the first identification device, f) transmitting the analyzed identification code and individual information of the user to the second identification device through the telecommunication line, and g) entering the analyzed identification code and the individual information of the user in a user database of the second identification device; and the step of identifying the user comprises the steps a) to d) executed in series and further comprises the steps of: h) comparing the analyzed identification code to a reference identification code extracted from the user database of the second identification device, i) displaying on a monitor of the first identification device the analyzed individual information stored with the analyzed identification code in the user database of the first identification device when the result of the step of comparing the analyzed identification code to the reference identification code is positive, and j) transmitting a permissive access signal to an execution device when the result of the step of comparing the analyzed identification code to the reference identification code is positive.
