Smartcard transaction method and system using facial scan recognition

This invention describes a system for making transactions using a smartcard that is secured by facial recognition. To use it, a user's face is scanned and linked to their smartcard and personal information. The system then uses this facial scan data, potentially as an encryption key, to authorize transactions or even grant access to a physical location.

Why it matters: Filed when facial recognition required specialized hardware and was less accurate. Today, advanced facial recognition algorithms run efficiently on standard cameras, making the biometric component more accessible and reliable for integration with smartcard systems.
