Title
Field
This specification relates generally to the field of electronic biometric systems and has particular, but by no means exclusive, application to automated testing and detection of a biological characteristic of a person.
Background
Many communicable diseases can be readily transferred from person to person by merely coming within close proximity to an infected person. Most recently this ability to easily transfer from one person to another person has been highlighted by the global outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. Recent statistic released by the Australian government show that in 2015/2016 almost 400,000 people were hospitalised as a consequence of infections from communicable diseases. More seriously, about 6300 people died in 2015 as a consequence of being infected by a communicable disease.
An obvious solution to limiting the spread of communicable diseases is to ensure infected people are isolated from other people. In many cases a person with a communicable disease will exhibit one or more symptoms, which if detected can allow preventative action to be taken to limit that person's contact with other non-infected people. For example, with the current outbreak of COVID-19 many venues that hold larger gatherings of people (e.g., restaurants or bars) will have a staff member physically test a person's temperature (COVID-19 symptom) before allowing them to enter the venue. A person exhibiting a higher than normal temperature will be denied entry to the venue.
Currently this type of testing of people by venues is all manual; that is, a staff member of the venue will physically test all people entering the venue. This clearly puts the venue staff at risk since they need to come into close contact with all people so as to test their temperatures.
Summary
According to an embodiment of an electronic biometric system, the system comprises: - a biometric detection means arranged to: - detect at least one biological characteristic of a person; and - create biometric data that represents the at least one biological characteristic; - an identification detection means arranged to: - determine identification details of the person; and - create identification data that represents the identification details of the person; and - a data processing means arranged to: - process the biometric data to determine whether the at least one biometric characteristic meets a predefined criterion; - initiate a response action following determination that the at least one biological characteristic meets the predefined criterion; and - create an electronic record based on at least the identification data.
One of the major advantages of this embodiment of the electronic biometric system is that it facilitates automated testing of people for symptoms of a communicable disease as well as automated recording a person's identification. By automating this it means that another person does not need to do the physical test as described in the background section of this specification. This benefit of automated testing clearly ameliorates the health risks associated with a person physically testing others for possible symptoms of communicable diseases.
In the embodiment of the electronic biometric system the system further comprises a dispensing arrangement arranged to dispense a hand sanitising solution for use by the person.
An advantage of incorporating the dispensing arrangement is that even though a person may not exhibit symptoms of a communicable disease the related virus may be present on a person's hand. By dispensing the hand sanitising solution the person can disinfect their hands further reducing the ability of a virus to easily spread from person to person.
In the embodiment of the electronic biometric system the biometric detection means comprises a thermometer for detecting a temperature of the person.
Many (not all) communicable diseases are associated with the symptom of a high temperature in a person. One such virus is the COVID-19 virus. Therefore detecting a person's temperature is a reasonable indicator that a person may well be carrying a communicable disease.
In the embodiment of the electronic biometric system the response action comprises initiating an audio or visual alarm.
An advantage of providing the audio and/or visual alarm is that it will alert the relevant people (e.g., venue staff) to the fact that a person has been detected that is exhibiting a particular symptom of a communicable disease.
Once alerted the relevant people take the appropriate safety precautions to deal with the potentially infectious person.
In the embodiment of the electronic system the identification detection means comprises a scanner arranged to scan a driver license.
In many situations it is very important that the identification of people being tested is recorded. Such a record will potentially allow contact tracing. One of the easiest approaches for confirming the identification details of a person is their driver's license.
Brief Description of Drawings
Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 shows an embodiment of an electronic biometric system; and
Figure 2 provides a flow chart of various steps performed by the electronic biometric system shown in figure 1.
Detailed Description
Referring to figure 1, an embodiment of an electronic biometric system 100 comprises the following key functional elements: a user interface 102, identification detection means 104; a biometric detection means 106; a dispensing arrangement 108; and a data processing unit 110.
The user interface 102 comprises an integrated LCD screen 102a and a speaker 102b. The LCD screen 102a and the speaker 102b are electrically connected to the data processing means 110. As described in more detail in the following sections of this specification the data processing means 110 uses the LCD screen 102a and the speaker 102b to output a range of audio and visual messages.
The identification detection means 104 is in the form of the SnapShell IDR ID Reader from Card Scanning Solutions Inc. The identification detection means 104 is electrically connected to the data processing means 110 and as discussed in more detail in the following sections of this specification. The data processing means 110 interacts with the identification detection means 104 to obtain identification information (license details) of a person.
The biometric detection means 106 is in the form of the SureVis Thermal Scanner available from SureVis Technologies. The biometric detection means 106 is electrically connected to the data processing means 110 and as outlined in more detail in the following sections of this specification the data processing means 110 interacts with the biometric detection means 106 to determine a biometric characteristic (temperature) of a person.
The dispensing arrangement 108 is in the form of the Purcell ES8 hand sanitiser dispenser. The dispensing arrangement 108 is electrically connected to the data processing means 110 and as described in more detail in the following sections of this specification the data processing means 110 interacts with the dispensing arrangement 108 to initiate the dispensing of an amount of hand sanitizer solution contained within the dispensing arrangement 108. The dispensing arrangement 108 can be refilled with hand sanitizing solution whenever required.
Central to the electronic biometric system 100 is the data processing means 110. The data processing means 110 is in the form of personal computer (PC) controller and is controlled by the Microsoft Windows operating system. The data processing means 110 also runs various software drivers and applications and most notably includes drivers and applications for interacting and controlling the user interface 102, identification detection means 104, biometric detection means 106 and the dispensing arrangement 108. These drivers and applications are provided by the manufacturers of the various devices 102 to 108. In addition to these drivers and applications the electronic biometric system 100 includes a main piece of application software. This main piece of application software provides the overall control of the system 100 such that it operates to provide overall control, which is described in more detail as follows with reference to figure 2.
As mentioned previously one of the main advantages provided by the system 100 is that it can provide automated detection of whether a person is exhibiting a symptom associated with a particular communicable disease. This particular embodiment of the system 100 it is directed to automated detection of a person's temperature so has particular application to COVID-19.
Typically the system 100 is positioned at the main entrance of a venue (restaurant, pub, conference centre etc) where people enter the venue. Referring to figure 2, which shows a flow chart 200 of the various steps performed by the system, a person wishing to enter the venue steps in front of the system 100. While not shown in figure 1, the system 100 has a motion sensor in the form of an infrared sensor that detects when a person is standing in from of the system 100. The infrared sensor is electrically connected to the data processing means 110. On detecting that a person is standing in from of the system 100 the infrared sensor carries out the step 202 of sending the data processing means 110 a signal indicating that a person has been detected in from of the system 100. In response to receiving the signal from the infrared sensor the data processing means 110 carries out the step 204 of interacting with the user interface 102 to issue both a visual and audio greeting to the person. More specifically, the greeting includes a visual welcome message that is displayed on the LCD screen 102a and an audio message welcoming the person via the speaker 102b. In addition to the welcome message the LCD screen 102a and speaker 102b prompts the person to provide their driver license to the identification detection means 104 (which as described previous is a license scanner).
On detecting that the person has presented their license to the identification detection means 104 The detection means 104 performs the next step 206 of scanning the licensing and sending data to the data processing means 110. This data contains all of the personal information on the person's license. At this point the data processing means 110 performs the step 208 of storing the data in a local database contained on a hard disc within the data processing means 110. This database is in the form of an SQL database such as that available from Microsoft. It is envisaged that in an alternative embodiment of the system 100 the database does not reside locally within the data processing means 110, instead the data processing means 110 would transfer the data to a remote cloud based data storage facilitate. This would involve the system 100 and the remote cloud based data storage facilitate being connected to a computer network such as the internet.
The reason the data processing means 110 stores this data (either locally or remotely) is so that a detailed log of people that have entered or tried to enter the venue can be maintained. This is important for highly infectious communicable diseases as it supports contact tracing. At this point the data processing means 110 performs the next step 210 of again interacting with the user interface 102 to inform the person that they are about to be "scanned" for the purposes of detecting their temperature. This interaction is done by displaying a visual message on the LCD screen 102a and an audio message from the speaker 102b. At this stage the data processing means 110 then performs the step 212 of interacting with the biometric detection means 106 to cause the means 106 to scan the person, create data that represents the person's temperature and to send that temperature data to the data processing means 110.
On receiving the temperature data the data processing means 110 performs the next step 214 of processing the temperature data to determine whether the person's temperature meets the criterion of being a normal temperature. At this point the data processing means 110 can proceed in one of two different ways depending on the person's temperature. The two ways depend on whether the person's temperature is normal or whether the person's temperature is elevated.
The following describes the action taken by the data processing means 110 if the person's temperature is determined to be normal (which is around 37 degrees Celsius). On determining that the person's temperature is normal the data processing means 110 performs the initial step 216 of interacting with the user interface 102 to display another message on the LCD screen 102a and speaker 102b indicating that the person's temperature is normal and they are welcome to enter into the venue but first they need to place their hands under the dispensing arrangement 108. The data processing means 110 then performs the step 218 of interacting with the dispensing arrangement 108 to cause the arrangement 108 to dispense a quantity of the hand sanitizing solution. As mentioned previously, the other way the data processing means 110 can proceed is if it determines the person's temperature is elevated. If this is the case then the data processing means 110 performs the step 220 of interacting with the user interface 102 to inform the person they are symptomatic and are not permitted to enter the venue. This message is delivered to the person via the LCD screen 102a and the speaker 102b. In addition to the previous step 220 the data processing means 110 also carries out the step 222 of causing an audio and/or visual alarm to alert staff of the venue that a person has been detected that has a symptom. The data processing means 110 interacts with the user interface 102 to generate the alarm, which can include a particular alert sound from the speaker 102b and a visual indicator on the LCD screen 102a.
Referring back to figure 1, the system 100 also includes a main structural body 112 that secures all of the elements 102 to 110 together as a single unit.
It noted that while in this embodiment of the system 100 the biometric detection means 106 is arranged to detect the temperature of a person, in other embodiments of the system 100 the biometric detection means 106 is arranged to detect biometric characteristics other than temperature such as for example blood pressure or heart rate. It is also note that although in this embodiment of the system 100 the identification detection means 106 is arranged to scan a person's driver license the identification detection means 106 could be arranged to scan other forms of identification such as a thumb print etc.
As described previously, the system 100 is capable of maintaining a log of those people that have presented themselves to the system 100. This is achieved by virtue of the identification detection means. It is envisaged that the system 100 can be used in a range of scenarios. Of particular interest is the use of the system 100 in educations institutions and in particular primary and secondary schools. Why used in schools the fact that the system 100 is capable of creating and recording a log of people this functionality can be used as a form of automated attendance checking-the log would identify those students that have entered the school.
The electronic log created by the system 100 can also be used, subject to legislative privacy requirements, for marketing purposes. In the scenarios where the system 100 is deployed in venues such as restaurants or bars the operator could use the identification information contained in the database/log direct marketing purposes such as driving push notifications to apps running on patrons' smartphones.
An extremely important part of controlling communicable diseases is contact tracing, and this is usually performed by government health authorities. To assist in contact tracing the system 100 is such that the database/log contacting the details of all people that have presented to the system 100 can be easily accessed by the relevant government authorities. This access could be provided remotely by logging into the system 100 via a computer network.
