During that time period, the mobile device can enter a disconnected mode but still obtain a mobile device-aided function (e.g., access to a resource) by presenting for authentication the long term token. Upon a given occurrence (e.g., loss of or theft of the mobile device) the long term token is canceled to restrict unauthorized further use of the mobile device in disconnected mode. | 2009-08-13 |
| 20090205033 | BIOMETRIC FINANCIAL TRANSACTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - Tokenless biometric authorization of transaction between a consumer and a merchant uses an identicator and an access device. A consumer registers with the identicator a biometric sample taken from the consumer. The consumer and merchant establish communications via the access device. The merchant proposes a transaction to the consumer via the access device. The access device communicates to the merchant associated with the access device. After the consumer and merchant have agreed on the transaction, the consumer and the identicator use the access device to establish communications. The access device communicates to the identicator the code associated with the access device. The identicator compares biometric sample from the consumer with registered biometric sample. Upon successful identification, the identicator forwards information regarding the consumer to the merchant. These steps accomplish a biometrically authorized electronic financial transaction without the consumer having to present any personalized man-made memory tokens. | 2009-08-13 |
