Definitions
- This invention relates generally to computer system support for expediting border crossing control functions for countries but the invention may also find applicability in other areas where automated identity confirmation and access control and associated activities are important.
- An agent is typically required to check the individual against the passport and its photograph.
- the agent is typically trained to make a judgement based upon intangible information associated with the individual and questioning of that individual.
- There are usually devices to assist with detection of false or fraudulent passports and agents are typically trained to acquire and assimilate other information to make a decision. All this assessment and evaluation by an individual agent is costly, time consuming and capacity and security problems remain.
- a more positive identification can be established using a biometric card and biometric measurement at the border while facilitating record keeping of the border crossing by that individual in a form immediately accessible to law enforcement systems.
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a system for use with a preferred form of the invention.
- Fig. 2 is flow chart of activities corresponding to how a preferred form of the invention operates.
- Fig. 3 is a heuristic block diagram including simplified illustrations of an enrolled user (EU) and components of the preferred inventive system.
- Fig. 4 is an illustration of a passport-like document in accord with one aspect of the invention.
- Fig. 5 is an illustration of a card for use with this invention.
- Fig. 6 is a flow chart illustrating an enrollment process in accord with a preferred form of the invention.
- Fig. 7 is a block diagram of the parts preferably associated with a kiosk in accord with a preferred form of the invention.
- a first purpose is personal identity verification with an expeditious border crossing facilitated
- a second is real time enablement of border checking for potentially dangerous persons, facilitation of computer assisted searching of records for border crossings by particular individuals and tracking of particular individuals through such means.
- Additional services for holders of identification tokens can also be facilitated such as financial transaction facilitation and access to various facilities and services which may be unavailable to other travelers, through a trusted presence signal and process available with positive identification services.
- An expedited passenger processing services computer 101 performs a hub-like anchoring function for the system.
- the enrolled users will have a copy of their pertinent records and representations of biometric data (or in some cases just so-called "biometric minutiae" which is an extraction from biometric data that is permissible for use in some countries which do not permit use of biometric information directly) held in a database in a central computer system 101.
- biometric minutiae an extraction from biometric data that is permissible for use in some countries which do not permit use of biometric information directly
- the inventive concepts described here may be incorporated into what will be called an Expedited Passenger Processing System, or EPPS.
- This process of becoming enrolled preferably employs an enrollment workstation 102 and some equipment to do the biometric measuring.
- the preferred system uses an Iridian R1 , available from Iridian Technologies, Inc. of Marlton, New Jersey, (formerly known as IriScan) but for purposes of this invention, any reliable biometric measuring device that extracts data which can reliably be compared to subsequent biometric readings from equivalent biometric measuring devices to positively identify an individual would be acceptable.
- the "R1" is a camera and control mechanism that locates a face and an eye (right or left or both if desired) within that face and which then scans the iris and extracts from the iris scanned data in the image a biometric value.
- the International Biometric Industry Association has published a list of effective biometric technologies currently available at www.ibia.org/Press%20Release%2016.htm, but the list is not believed to exhaust the potential biometric measurements that could be used with this invention.
- the IBIA suggestions include facial recognition, fingerprint minutiae, hand geometry, iris recognition, and signature dynamics, and the inventors suggest that as technology improves these and other measurable biometrics, together or independently, will be useful in the context of the present invention.
- the person desiring to become a participant in the system and wishing to become enrolled will preferably submit to an intake person (a "registrar"), who will obtain identity documents, such as an official passport and or other documents that can be used as a source document for a passport.
- the registrar may also check the potential enrollee's other sources of information at that time from the workstation 102.
- a central computer for maintaining records on enrollees in the program 101 will be connected to a workstation 102 for a registrar to review source documentation (such as the passport of a potential enrollee or other source documents as mentioned above) submitted by the potential enrollee during registration.
- a Card Issuing Center (CIC) 105 will issue the identity cards with biometric information on them for mailing or pickup by the enrollee at a later date, and probably at a different location.
- a biometric scanner preferably a kiosk 103 similar to the one that the enrollee will encounter at border crossings, but at least having biometric reading devices that will produce the same code for that enrollee as will be read and produced at the border, will be tied into the central computer 101 , and connected with the information provided by the enrollee to the registrar, so that this information can be put into or onto the identity card by the CIC 105.
- the information can be retained and parts of it may be accessed by travel agents and other commercial systems users 107, anyone allowed to through the internet 108, other nongovernment or government host systems and the Government Official Central (GOC) records systems for Immigration, anti-terrorism, taxation, customs, and the like 106.
- Fig. 6 a flowchart 60, illustrates the steps used in a typical enrollment process.
- the registrar at the workstation during pre-enrollment 61 will authorize checking the GOC records to determine if the production of a biometric identity card is warranted, and direct the individual to a piece of equipment that will do the biometric measurement and extract a code therefrom, in Fig. 1 shown as a kiosk 103. These authorizations occur, preferably as separate steps, with the registrar making the first decision 81. If desired, much of the information required can be pre-supplied to the registrar via a mail-in or internet-enabled application, prior to the applicant's visit to the registrant to present official documents and to be scanned.
- the registrar can then submit the required information regarding this individual to the government authorities to perform a background check 63 to determine suitability of this candidate for enrollment as a member of the program.
- a background check will typically take several days and be handled by the government checking through various data sources. If the background checks do not provide approval 82, the applicant cannot become enrolled and no identity card would be issued. However, after approval, the card should be issued and given to the applicant.
- the equipment for the biometric enrollment 62 will provide a digitized representation of that information or extracted, condensed, encrypted or otherwise manipulated into a code thereof to an identity card production machine which can encode and store that information code onto the card.
- the identity card production machine is preferably located at the CIC 105, which is preferably at a location different from the kiosk 103 used to obtain the code produced by the biometric data extraction, and only will be authorized following approval based on the intake by the registrar together with the oversight of the government through background checks.
- this data can be sent to enabling facilities for such other programs (described below) and to establish the identity records that may be needed by such programs 72. If useful, the approval into such other programs can be input into information on the identity card 74, and information uniquely identifying the identity card may be transferred back into such other programs.
- a Kiosk 103 using an R1 or similar device supplied by Iridian Technologies, Inc., or another vendor will provide the biometric measurement machinery and a LaserCard (or similar optically readable card which may be based on technology similar to that described in U.S. Patent No. 5,992,891 issued to Dyball and incorporated herein by this reference) will provide the identity card through an associated card issuing center (CIC).
- CIC card issuing center
- other mechanisms for accomplishing these and similar bio-measurement, data extraction and data card production steps are available from other vendors and their use is not considered outside the ambit of this invention, but as other embodiments.
- other data maintenance and storage devices such as smart cards (described with a system for using same in U.S. Patent No. 6,112,987, incorporated herein by this reference), or media cards with combined storage technologies could be substituted for LaserCard optical memory cards, wherever such substitute is more reasonably used given the installation of the invention.
- a secure intranet 112 which may be connected to the internet 108 or other data centers and networks which may be in the system or have rights to communicate with the system through an extranet 111. All such communications of data will preferably be through a firewall 109. Therefore, when identity information or biometric measurement is done at various locations by an enrolled user, systems which are controlled by travel agents and other commercial entities 107, or government users in government systems 106 as well as users in any other acceptable hosts 110 should be able to confirm the enrolled user status of someone presenting themselves, and/or their identity card at such locations if the system is set up to accommodate such more expansive uses. Too, the government systems may provide information to the registering agency within Intranet 112 regarding information held in such government systems regarding an individual attempting to register. In this way a unique registration may be maintained for each enrollee and potentially threatening applicants and enrollees can be tracked.
- FIG. 2 an outline 200 in flow chart form, of the steps an Enrolled User (EU) would take to expedite border crossing and how the system would respond are shown.
- EU Enrolled User
- the user would have to be enrolled 201 first, as described above or in a similar manner. Thus a program of enrollment having enrolled users and a database of their identities would be established. The person presenting himself for expedited crossing using the identity card would first insert 202 the card into a kiosk at a border crossing area, possibly an airport or other national facility having border control agents. The Kiosk would then check to see if the card is one within a list of acceptable cards in a preferred form, or if no list is kept, it would just read the card data, and it would read the card's data in any event 203.
- the kiosk will send the data from the card (card code) both to immigration to perform a real time background check, and also to a comparison facility within the kiosk to see if it matches the code read from the individual's biometrics at the present time. These present time biometrics are obtained by steps 205 and 206.
- the kiosk should also have some kind of display screen which will welcome the enrollee 204 and provide status information as the enrollee uses the kiosk. This dual simultaneous use of all or a portion of the card code for both providing an instant background check and for positively identifying the individual against the card code provides perhaps the most significant efficiency enhancement with respect to crossing borders, since it increases security and reduces active manpower needs at the same time.
- An alarm system can be triggered by the kiosk generating an alarm signal if there is an improper match. The alarm could be silent, showing up on displays at computer systems of the border personnel, and the individual in such circumstances will be directed to secondary inspection.
- the instant background checks (which may include profiling, watch-lists, or other government risk analysis) process starts at step 210, where data is received from the card by the immigration authorities.
- the background check 215 can then be accomplished. It may be used to effectively track the amount of travel a particular enrollee or his associates are doing, what kinds of goods they are transporting, duty paid recently, as well as checking against updates to the enrollee data kept at the GOC, automatically, by accessing the various needed databases. Any or all of this information can be transmitted to the secondary inspection station 220, to supplement the ability of the agents there to process the individual, if the decision at step 216 is that the individual is not cleared. If the enrollee has cleared immigration, 221, the clearance is sent back to the kiosk, and to customs too, if desired.
- the enrollee can proceed to customs and duty processing. If not, the individual will be referred 220 to the secondary inspection station for normal human-interactive processing by a border agent of the government.
- the card if it is inserted in a non-removable way into the kiosk, may preferably be removed and the display instruct the individual to proceed to the secondary inspection station. Information about the failure to pass may be recorded onto the card at this time if desirable.
- step 230 can be accomplished at the kiosk.
- the duty owed 231 can be paid by reference to a credit card transaction either automatically initiated by the kiosk upon presentment of the declaration, or the individual can present a credit card for swiping there at a credit card swiping facility at the kiosk.
- Authorization to charge can be presumed or additional indicia of approval required of the individual enrollee at this time.
- a receipt can be printed or data put onto the card 234 and the individual authorized to remove the card. If customs and duty processing is a separate facility at this border crossing point, the individual will, of course have to remove his card and move on to a customs and duty station for continuation of his crossing.
- the individual can cross the border 236. It should be noted that by providing positive identification of an individual through the use of biometrics, if that individual is shown to be present at a border, say for example, an airport, a signal to other airport facilities that he/she is here can be issued. We call this a "trusted presence" 240 signal, which could issue any time after the individual is cleared at 213, but preferably after customs and duty processing is complete.
- Example services such facilities could provide include attribution of bonus values such as frequent traveler rights or coupons to the individual, automatic acceptance of credit cards at restaurants and shopping facilities without further identification being required, admission to traveler's club facilities, seat confirmation for the flight the individual may be registered for, even holds on the push-back of the aircraft from the gate, and other premium services may be offered.
- the trusted presence key may be a signal sent to automatic systems throughout the airport on the confirmation of the individual being present, and preferably will have a short expiration period, such as three hours, in which such services can be offered to the individual.
- This trusted presence signal will not guarantee that someone else is not using a credit card, but will guarantee that the individual has been in the facility within the expiration period, reducing the need to rely on other forms of ID for positive identification, or to duplicate biometric reading machines.
- These other service providing facilities may have other identification procedures which such facilities establish for themselves to make using them easier for the frequent traveler.
- the biometric measurement would be made in the preferred embodiment by an iris scan at an Iridian kiosk, although its use in conjunction with other positive identification means is not prohibited for this invention, and different biometric measurement systems (such as those mentioned above) clearly can be used instead if desired for a given installation.
- the data collected may have to be different if different biometric readers are used but only if the biometric information or some derivative thereof is retained in a database.
- the identity confirming biometric information can be kept solely on an identity card carried by the enrolled user. It should be noted that convenience and quickness is important here in choosing a biometric to use for the commercial acceptability of this invention.
- the device making the measurement will send 203 the data, extracted and manipulated as appropriate for the program, to wherever in the program it is needed and used as explained in greater detail above.
- the information kept in databases and/or on identity cards can be shared in various ways, as for example with the biometric information being kept solely on an identity card in the EU's possession, or in a centralized database, or in a local database.
- this biometric information taken at the enrollment of the user into the program be checkable by the biometric reader kiosk arrangement at the border crossing, either by insertion of the identity card for reading, by accessing some remote database, or by accessing a local database available to the kiosk. It may be desirable if the kiosk would also be able to determine that this set of biometric data was in fact corresponding to a name of an enrolled EU in the program, but if the card issuing process is secure, this is not a requirement.
- the data obtained by the measurement device from the EU presenting him or herself to the measuring device should provide 203 the extracted biometric data or minutiae to the government agency system in charge for the nation, as well as to any local system that will use the information to confirm the identity of the individual to speed the EU through the border.
- a detailed description of the components required for these processes is had with reference to Fig. 3 below.
- the individual EU can be provided access to financial services, ticketing, clubs and a plethora of services a traveler may want to avail himself of, simply by sending the acceptance of identity information to such service providers, preferably through a trusted presence signal as outlined above.
- the border agents can permit the EU individual to cross the border, before or after the EU receives services that may be available at this particular border crossing to EUs in the program.
- Fig. 3 in which an EU is drawn inserting an identity card 301 into a card reader 303 in a kiosk 302 (K1), which is in turn connected to a system in accord with the invention.
- the system provides connections for moving data from and to the kiosks (here three are shown K1-3) to a local computer system which could contain biometrically derived information for all EUs in the program, but in the preferred embodiment does not.
- the local computer system will merely act as a hub or router to forward the data needed as indicated in reference to Fig. 2 to the government Immigration authorities 152 for doing their expedited background checking. (It could also act as a clearing-house to send a positive ID signal to any frequent traveler's service facilities in the vicinity as explained below.
- the Kiosk 302 computer itself could send its data directly to the GOC computer system, if desired.
- the kiosk itself would be able to match the identity information stored as a code on the identity card with the EU's actual present biometrics it also reads, or not, to provide positive identification signals that can then be transmitted to the various systems that need them within the program.
- a computer in the kiosk would be reading the identity code from the card to match it against the identity code it manufactures from the biometric read from the person presenting himself to the Kiosk.
- the local computer system 151 will preferably be in communication with a government systems computer 152 for the purposes described above. It is possible to implement the invention by having a connection of the kiosks directly with the government systems central computer system 152, but at the present time such individual connections are more costly and thus avoided.
- the kiosks may also have a communications facility or connection 309 to the service provider systems indicated heuristically in box 152. Preferably this connection will provide the service provider systems such as credit facilities to collect funds for duty, ticketing, automatic teller machines, club facilities and the like, with a signal indicating a trusted presence authorization information based on the positive identification made by the Kiosk 301 which the EU is using.
- the kiosk itself will preferably have an identity card read/write device 303 which can alter data in the identity card 301.
- a printing device 304 can also provide documentary evidence of use of the kiosk and/or certification of use for the EU upon identification being established and transit through the border being approved as described above.
- the identity card can be a "smart card” such as that provided by GemPlus of France, a LaserCard optical memory card as described earlier, or other card, preferably containing sufficient data storage capacity to provide a repository of whatever extraction of the biometric data that will be used by this version of the invention to identify the EU and other personal data and services required data.
- a card containing the data keeps the data outside of any centralized database.
- the invention could employ such a card to make a positive comparison with the person carrying it and the measured biometric data taken at the kiosk without reference to a centralized database.
- a reference to a centralized database in computer system 151 could provide additional security in determining whether this individual, now properly identified, is a member of the program, i.e., an EU.
- the government databases available at or through system 152 could confirm the status of the individual so identified as one permitted, at the present time, to cross the border, and may provide additional information to the guards or agents 159/158 at the border or at a secondary inspection station as may be indicated.
- authorities which allow compilations of biometric data there can a transfer of the biometric data from a kiosk either to the central local computer system 151 or a distant government system 152, as may be desirable to confirm identity of the EU, even without the presentment of an identity card.
- the individual EU once properly identified and screened by the appropriate level of government authorization system automatically and without any human intervention by a government agent being required, can be allowed to pass through a gate 156 or 157, or stopped there if the EU is suspected of carrying contraband or for some other purpose (such as a random secondary inspection lottery draw), by an agent 158 or 159 at a desk 154 or 155 at the border crossing gate area or secondary inspection station 150.
- a signal is provided (either by the local computer system 151 , or by the computer in the Kiosk itself, depending on the configuration), indicating that the individual has been duly identified and approved for transit.
- the agent can check the identity card with a checking wand using a bar code, or magnetic stripe on the card, or other computer peripheral system at his desk and have all the information from the distant government computer system as well as confirmation of identity from the kiosk and any other EU-related information from the local computer system 151 on a computer screen at the desk. It is possible, but less preferred to send out a positive identity signal as the trusted presence or kiosk-pass signal once the identity has been established at the kiosk (by matching the identity card data to the biometric data) but before the government clearance approval has been obtained.
- Positive identification of the EU may trigger a timed availability of various services such as access to ticketing machines at an airport to provide transportation by air or other modes of travel to the EU. Such timed availability would provide an additional security aspect to dispensing of cash, tickets, or other services since it would only be available in a time frame proximate to the EU being positively identified at a kiosk. Timing or simple access would preferably be triggered by a signal showing positive identification of the EU sent on line 309 of the drawing of Fig. 3. A mag stripe on the identity card could retain an additional code number encoded by the Kiosk for the period of the trusted presence for additional security, and the user may be required to use credit cards or show other positive ID by these service providers if the broadcasting or direct sending of trusted presence information is not deemed sufficiently secure.
- a passport-like document 40 has paper material 45 for containing the human readable 43 and other visually perceptible visual information such as a photograph 44 on it and may contain other security information secreted within it.
- the identity card with the information may be contained in a pocket in the document 40 so that it can be removed to insert into the kiosk.
- stamping of passport documents is not considered desirable.
- the biometric information could be contained in a card outfitted to retain data such as a LaserCard optical memory card, a smart card, or other memory card system 42, combined with the passport like document. Or, the system designer may prefer to go with a simpler system where only the memory containing identity card 50 (illustrated in Fig.
- a usage fee can be charged to the EU for each usage of the system. This can preferably be debited from the EU's bank account, which may be located in unrelated hosts such as the other systems 110 illustrated in Fig. 1 , and confirmation of the transaction's success can also be required to be received whether by the central government systems computer 101 or the kiosk 103 prior to authorization to complete the use of the EU system.
- FIG. 7 An alternate view of a kiosk 20, in accord with a preferred embodiment of the invention is in Fig. 7.
- the major systems include a computer system 21 , preferably something on the order of a personal computer system in scope and power that has systems programs and connections that operate the components of the kiosk system in accord with the description above.
- the computer system 21 will be connected to receive signals and to send signals to transfer data and commands amongst these components, along the channels here indicated as lines.
- the user will be able to access a control panel 23, which in the illustrated embodiment is a touch screen on the display screen 22 (but which could be a keypad, or other input device or devices), in order to communicate using personal identification numbers, responses to yes/no inquiries, selection of menu items and the like, in the same way as if the user were at an automatic teller machine.
- the computer system will produce the visible instructions, menus and the like on the display screen via a display signal on line 22a.
- the user initiation of the transaction will include inserting the identity card into an identity card read/write device CR/W 24, and data from the card will be fed to the computer system along line 24a. If the particular implementation allows for the kiosk to put information into the identity card, line 24a will allow communication of data signals from the computer system 21 as well.
- a printer or receipt generator 27 may be installed, which provides the printed matter described above when appropriate.
- the camera equipment 25a will be controlled by focussing and positioning sensing and control system 25b, and the whole camera and control system will operate with the assistance and control of signals from the computer system 21 , to accomplish the tasks described above.
- connection device 26 will typically be a LAN connector, to provide the various pass and identity related signals mentioned elsewhere within this patent to the other local computer systems and remote government systems in as also described elsewhere within.
- the connection device will preferably be connected within a secure local area network (LAN) system 17 in the border crossing area.
- LAN local area network
- the Kiosk 20 can thus be in communication with the remote government computer system 18 that does the background checks and gives approval status information back to the Kiosk in reply to the sending of the identity data (either just the identity or with some biometric extraction data, and preferably encrypted). It can also provide the identity match status information to the local computer systems which provide displays and other interfaces (not shown) for agents at the borders for conveying such information to them. Acting through the LAN the Kiosk 20 can also relay the information on approval status to the local agents, if they do not get the information directly from the LAN.
- All the lines and connectors may be chosen in order to be better suited to more effective, secure, or inexpensive communications as may be currently available, known and desired by the designer, purchaser and installer of the system.
- the invention requires no particular connection methodology or signal transfer structure (wireless, optical, USB, or other particular system) to operate so long as it can accomplish the signal communication tasks described in this document.
