Abstract

A biometric biochemical analysis system includes a user interface module to provide instructions for collecting and handling biochemical sampling and processing related to biometric data gathering as well as capturing biometric data using digital data capturing devices. The user interface module and display are integrated with analysis and communications portions of the biometric biochemical analysis system to provide a portable system for multi-portion data collecting, storage, verification, and analysis.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A system comprising:
(I) an authentication sub-system comprising a camera,
(II) a biochemical analysis sub-system comprising a sample cartridge interface and a fluidics assembly including a pump,
(III) a communications interface,
(IV) system memory, and
(V) one or more processors;
wherein the system is configured to:
(a) authenticate a user by facial recognition based on one or more images taken by the camera, wherein authentication proceeds without an active command from the user;
(b) instruct the user to provide a biological sample of a third party to the biochemical analysis sub-system;
(c) without further user input, automatically controlling the biochemical analysis sub-system to execute a biochemical analysis on the biological sample of the third party; and
(d) communicate, through the communications interface, genetic data of the third party obtained from the biochemical analysis to a server, wherein the server is configured to compare the genetic data of the third party and genetic data in a criminal records database to determine whether the data of the third party match the data of an individual in the criminal records database.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to: (e) receive, through the communication interface, data indicating whether the data of the third party match the data of the individual in the criminal records database.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biochemical analysis sub-system comprises an electrophoresis analyzer.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biological sample is provided by insertion of a sample cartridge into the sample receiver interface.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system of claim 1 is configured to operate the camera to periodically or continually scan the environment for a user that can be authenticated.

6. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
(IV) a digital biometric data capture device; wherein the system is further configured to:
(d) instruct the authenticated user to electronically capture biometric data from the third party using the digital biometric data capture device.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the digital biometric capture device comprises a camera, a fingerprint reader or a retinal scanner.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the biochemical analysis sub-system is configured to perform a biochemical analysis on a biological sample provided to the biochemical analysis sub-system.

9. A method comprising:
(a) without an active command from a user, using an authentication sub-system of a system to collect one or more camera images of a user and authenticating the user based on the camera images;
(b) instructing the user through a user interface on the system to provide a biological sample of a third party to a biochemical analysis sub-system of the system, wherein the biochemical analysis sub-system comprises a sample cartridge interface and a fluidics assembly including a pump; and
(c) without further user input, automatically executing a biochemical analysis on the biological sample of the third party using the biochemical analysis sub-system; and
(d) communicating, through a communications interface of the system, genetic data of the third party obtained from the biochemical analysis to a server, wherein the server is configured to compare the genetic data of the third party and genetic data in a criminal records database to determine whether the data of the third party match the data of an individual in the criminal records database.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising: (e) receiving, through the communication interface, data indicating whether the data of the third party match the data of the individual in the criminal records database.

11. A method for collection and analysis of biometric data from subjects by non-technical users at an integrated biometric data collection and analysis system, the system comprising a logic processor operationally connected to: a memory, a user interface, a biometric data capture component, a biochemical analysis sub-system comprising a biological sample receiver and a fluidics assembly including a pump, and a communications interface, the method comprising:
authenticating a user using the user interface;
directing the user using the user interface to input initial data regarding a third party using the user interface or the biometric data capture component or both;
performing an initial search using the initial data;
directing the user using the user interface to place the biological sample into the biological sample receiver for biologic analysis;
executing a biochemical analysis on the biological sample of the third party using the biochemical analysis sub-system, thereby obtaining genetic data of the third party;
transferring the genetic data of the third party to a server for forensic identification, wherein the forensic identification compares the genetic data of the third party and genetic data in a criminal records database to determine whether the genetic data of the third party match the genetic data of an individual in the criminal records database;
optionally, indicate to a user progress of the biologic analysis and progress of the transfer using the user interface;
optionally, indicate to a user when to remove the sample from the system and further handling of the sample;
receive data regarding forensic identification; and
present the data regarding forensic identification to the user using the user interface.

12. A system for collecting biometric data comprising:
at least one logic processor;
data storage;
at least one biological sample receiver;
at least one electronic biometric data capture module;
at least one biochemical analyzer module comprising a fluidics assembly including a pump;
at least one communications interface;
at least one user presentation module; and
wherein the processor is configurable with logic instructions to enable the system to perform a method of:
using the user presentation module to direct said user to collect electronically captured biometric data from a third party using the electronic biometric data capture module;
using the user presentation module to direct the user to place a biologic sample of the third party into the at least one biological sample receiver and/or to prepare a biologic sample of the third party;
performing, using the biochemical analyzer module, a biochemical analysis of the sample of the third party to produce a set of genetic data; and
communicating the genetic data of the third party to a server over the communications interface, wherein the server comprises a criminal records database, and wherein the server is configured to compare the genetic data of the third party and genetic data in a criminal records database to determine whether the genetic data of the third party match the genetic data of an individual in the criminal records database.

13. The system according to claim 12 wherein the at least one biological sample receiver comprises one or more of: a cartridge receiver; a cartridge receiver and a cartridge; a liquid sample receiver; and a solid sample receiver.

14. The system according to claim 12 wherein the least one electronic biometric data capture module comprises one or more of:
one or more scanners or cameras for capturing images or scanning data from one or more of:
a face or any other part of a body or clothing useful in identification;
prints of fingers, palms, feet, toes;
a sample or a sample with a bar code, RFID code, or other code; and
an identification card or birth certificate or death certificate or
