Appl. No.:

09/330253

Inventors:

Jonathan Alexander Lee - Oakland CA

Assignee:

Indivos Corporation - Oakland CA

International Classification:

G06K 900

US Classification:

382125

Abstract:

A method of identifying an individual from examination of their natural physical characteristics is shown. The method comprises obtaining from an individual during a registration process, a fingerprint image having at least one registration pore and at least one registration macrofeature; wherein registration pore data is derived from the registration pores, and registration macrofeature data is derived from the registration macrofeatures. In a bid step, a fingerprint image having at least one bid pore and at least one bid macrofeature is obtained; wherein bid pore data is derived from the bid pores and bid macrofeature data is derived from the bid macrofeatures. Bid associated data is constructed from associating the bid pore data with the bid macrofeature data, and constructing registration associated data derived from associating the registration pore data with the registration macrofeature data. The bid associated data is compared to the registration associated data to produce a correlation score where a successful or failed identification result is produced based on comparison of the correlation score to a predetermined threshold value.

International Classification:

US Classification:

705 78, 705 64, 705 65, 705 67, 382115, 235380

Abstract:

The invention provides a method and device for tokenless authorization of an electronic payment between a payor and a payee using an electronic third party identicator and at least one payor bid biometric sample. In a payor registration step, the payor registers with an electronic third party identicator at least one registration biometric sample, and at least one payor financial account identifier. The payee registers a payee identification data with the electronic third party identicator. A payee bid identification data and a payor bid biometric sample collected from the payor's person are electronically forwarded to the third party electronic identicator. A comparator engine compares the bid biometric sample with at least one registered biometric sample for producing either a successful or failed identification of the payor. The comparator engine also compares the payee's bid identification data with a payee's registered identification data for producing either a successful or failed identification of the payee. Once the electronic third-party identicator successfully identifies the payor and payee, the identicator electronically forwards at least one payor financial account identifier to the payee.

International Classification:

G06F017/00

US Classification:

707 1, 707 3, 707 4

Abstract:

The present invention provides for a proxy object that aids in returning a set of column names in a relational database. A predetermined method may be called which returns the proxy object, the proxy object representing a table in the relational database. The proxy object may be recursive, such that it may contain references to other proxy objects, as well as to column proxy objects, which represent individual columns in the database. Accessing the column proxy object then allows an object-oriented language program to retrieve a column name and therefore access individual columns in the relational database without forehand knowledge of the column names. The calls to the methods returning the proxy objects will typically never change, and if column names are changed, deleted, or added, these changes can be easily handled if a database provider maintains the column proxy object by having the database provider update the proxy object(s).

ZiLOG, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04L 17/02

US Classification:

341 23, 341176

Abstract:

An interactive, web-based codeset selection and development tool transmits hypertext documents from a web server to a web browser of a developer of microcontroller code for a new remote control device. The hypertext documents include selection criteria for groups of codesets stored in a central database of codesets. The developer selects the most appropriate codesets for the new remote control device using the selection criteria. The selection and development tool converts each of the selected codesets into a plurality of strings of timing information. The strings are encrypted and transmitted to the developer along with a signal engine. The developer loads the encrypted strings and the signal engine into a new microcontroller that has a factory-programmed decryption key. The microcontroller decrypts the encrypted strings of timing information and uses them and the signal engine to generate operational signals that control various functions of electronic consumer devices.

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711156, 711103, 711115, 711154

Abstract:

Automatically detecting types of external FLASH devices is provided, and may comprise communicating one or more read memory device ID commands corresponding to at least one supported memory device to at least one memory device. Data received in response to this communication may be utilized to determine whether the received data identifies the memory device as one of the plurality of supported memory devices. The supported memory devices may be serial FLASH memory devices. Each read memory device ID command may be manufacturer specific, or may be specific to a group of the supported memory devices. The communicating of read memory device ID commands and determining whether the memory device is a supported memory device may be repeated if the memory device is not identified as one of the supported memory devices. There may be a limit to the number of times this is repeated.

Abstract:

A method and device enables tokenless authorization of an electronic payment between a payor and a payee using an electronic identicator and a one payor bid biometric sample. The payor registers with a registration biometric sample, and a payor financial account identifier. The payee registers a payee identification data with the electronic identicator. A payee bid identification data and a payor bid biometric sample are electronically forwarded to the identicator. The bid biometric sample is compared with registered biometric samples and the payee's bid identification data is compared with a payee's registered identification data for a successful or failed identifications of the payor and payee. If the identicator successfully identifies the payor and payee, the identicator electronically forwards a payor financial account identifier to the payee. An electronic financial transaction is then formed comprising a transaction amount and a payor financial account identifier.
