Definitions

  • the present system relates to at least one of a method, user interface and apparatus for providing identification information that is suitable for a given application while maintaining identification information that is not suitable private.
  • BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT SYSTEM In today's world, people are constantly faced with a need to provide proof of an identity. Drivers are provided with a driver's license to prove to an authority that the driver has met requirements for driving. Students are provided with a student identification card (ID) to prove that the student is a student at a given school and a resident of a given school district. Members of an association or club are provided with an ID to gain entrance to club facilities and to prove that the member is a member in good standing (e.g., has paid annual dues, etc.) .
  • ID student identification card
  • a driver's license is required for legal driving privilege but will also serve the purpose of verifying a holder's age.
  • a driver's license may provide more information than one may desire be provided, such as the license holder's home residence. This additional information that is not required to verify the holder's age, may be utilized by a nefarious shop owner to identify desirable locations for future criminal activities. Accordingly, a party is forced to carry multiple pieces of identification and even in this case, often provides more information than is necessary for a given situation. Additionally, while the party providing the information may not desire additional information be provided, the party interrogating the ID feels the same way, often having to wade through much more information than necessary resulting in a waste of time and an increase in frustration. Electronically readable strips, such as magnetic strips, on ID's solves some of these problems in that an electronic reading device may be provided to an authority to examine an ID.
  • the electronic reading device may be programmed to only extract required information from the ID simplifying the interrogation of the ID, however, a nefarious agent may still extract and utilize all the information available. Further, the introduction of an electronic device to read and present the identification information is neither convenient nor intuitive.
  • Radio frequency identification devices are provided to simplify the interrogation process. While the RFID may be easily interrogated without requiring physical contact with the device, yet this does little to solve the problem of providing more information than is necessary for a given application. Further, the RFID makes it easier for the nefarious agent to query the RFID oftentimes without the RFID holder's knowledge or consent .

  • the system may also include an interrogation device that in operation is operably coupled to the ID device.
  • the processor of the ID device receives a request for identification information from the interrogation device, verifies that the request is from a suitable interrogation device by comparing the request to information stored in the memory, and renders on the display the identification information if the request is verified to be from a suitable interrogation device.
  • the processor may render on the display an indication that the interrogation device is not a suitable interrogation device if the request is not verified to be from a suitable interrogation device.
  • the processor may render on the display an iconic representation of identification information if the request is verified to be from a suitable interrogation device.
  • the processor may render on the display a default display of identification information even if no request for identification information is received.
  • the processor may render on the display a request for authentication information periodically and may ignore the request for identification information if the authentication information is not received in response to the request for authentication information.
  • the request for authentication information may include a request for biometric information.
  • the processor may render on the display a request to send the device to an identified party if the authentication information is not received in response to the request for authentication information .
  • the processor may perform a challenge and authentication process in response to the request for identification information.
  • the interrogation device may send to the ID device encrypted data that is decrypted by the ID device as a part of the challenge and authentication process.
  • the request for identification information may include criterion and the processor may render on the display the identification information based on the received criterion.
  • the processor may render on the display an iconic representation of identification information based on the received criterion if the request is verified to be from a suitable interrogation device.
