Title: Card device security using biometrics

Abstract: The disclosed Biometric Card Pointer arrangements store ( 207 ) a card user's biometric signature in a local memory ( 124 ) in a verification station ( 127 ) the first time the card user uses the verification station ( 127 ) in question. The biometric signature is stored at a memory address ( 607 ) defined by the card information ( 605 ) on the user's card ( 601 ). All future uses of the particular verification station ( 127 ) by someone submitting the aforementioned card ( 601 ) requires the card user to submit both the card and a biometric signature, which is verified against the signature stored at the memory address defined by the card information ( 605 ) thereby determining if the person submitting the card is authorized to do so.




Disclaimer: The promise of Apex Standards Pseudo Claim Charting (PCC) [ Request Form ] is not to replace expert opinion but to provide due diligence and transparency prior to high precision charting. PCC conducts aggressive mapping (based on Broadest Reasonable, Ordinary or Customary Interpretation and Multilingual Translation) between a target patent's claim elements and other documents (potential technical standard specification or prior arts in the same or across different jurisdictions), therefore allowing for a top-down, apriori evaluation, with which, stakeholders can assess standard essentiality (potential strengths) or invalidity (potential weaknesses) quickly and effectively before making complex, high-value decisions. PCC is designed to relieve initial burden of proof via an exhaustive listing of contextual semantic mapping as potential building blocks towards a litigation-ready work product. Stakeholders may then use the mapping to modify upon shortlisted PCC or identify other relevant materials in order to formulate strategy and achieve further purposes.
