Abstract

Various devices, systems, structures and methods are disclosed related to securely authorizing a transaction by synchronizing digital genomic data with associated synthetic genomic variants. An embodiment of the present invention utilizes digital genomic data associated with an entity, such as a person, who may utilize a genome-based security device to complete a transaction. In one embodiment, a person may use a genome-based security device to communicate with an external device over a wireless or other communication interface, synchronize digital genomic data and an associated synthetic variant received from the external device with digital genomic data and associated synthetic variant stored on the genome-based security device.

Core Innovation

The invention provides a patient transaction device comprising at least one biometric sensor configured to scan a patient and generate and transmit digital biometric information of the patient. The device further comprises at least one transaction interface, at least one non-transitory, computer readable memory storing software instructions, and at least one processor coupled with the memory, the biometric sensor, and the transaction interface. The processor stores the digital biometric information of the patient obtained from the biometric sensor and obtains transaction request data representing a healthcare transaction over the transaction interface from at least one external device.

The processor generates a context data structure comprising one or more of encrypted data, hashed data, or a pseudo-random number from the digital biometric information of the patient and the transaction request data. From at least the context data structure, the processor derives a digital transaction token related to a healthcare activity associated with the patient. The processor transmits the digital transaction token over the transaction interface to the at least one external device.

To conduct the healthcare transaction related to the healthcare activity, the processor synchronizes the digital transaction token with a valid token object accessed from an authentication server. This synchronization is configured to generate an encrypted secure session between the patient transaction device and the at least one external device. The disclosed synchronization ties the derived digital transaction token to authorization based on the valid token object from the authentication server so that the healthcare transaction can be performed within the encrypted secure session.

Claims Coverage

The document provides three independent claims covering a patient transaction device, a non-transitory, computer-readable medium, and a method for conducting a healthcare transaction. Across the three independent claims, the core inventive features include biometric scanning, context data structure generation from digital biometric information and transaction request data, token derivation and transmission, and synchronization with a valid token object from an authentication server to generate an encrypted secure session.

All three independent claims consistently cover generating an encrypted context from digital biometric information and healthcare transaction request data, deriving a digital transaction token from that context, transmitting the token, and synchronizing it with a valid authentication-server token object to generate an encrypted secure session for the healthcare transaction.
