Abstract
A health status platform includes a receiving component that receives a test result a test of a biological sample collected from a human patient. The test result includes an indication of a presence of an infectious disease in the patient, and an identification and a verification of the patient. The platform includes a certificate component that issues a certificate of origin of the biological sample; and a data merging component that cooperates with a venue access manager that controls access to a venue. The data merging component implements a distributed ledger system that stores encrypted test results of the patient and the identification and verification of the patient, and an end-to-end encryption system that receives an encrypted venue access request from a venue access manager, decrypts the access request, determines if an access request is valid, and if valid, provides an encrypted certificate of origin to the venue access manager.
Core Innovation
The disclosed invention relates to a health status system/platform that certifies compliance with health requirements adopted by a venue. The system receives an infectious-disease test sample result and an identification/verification transaction from a user, generates a certificate of origin/association, and merges or controls distribution to venue access managers for venue access decisions.
In a kiosk implementation, the processor receives a transaction request providing an initial identification of the user and access to a user health data store comprising stored health data, including a test sample result and a concurrent biometric sample obtained with collection of the test sample. The kiosk receives a biometric sample from the user and compares it with the concurrent biometric sample to confirm the identity of the user submitting the transaction request.
Using the confirmed identity, the processor identifies in the stored health data a match between the user test sample result and health requirements of the venue. Based on the identified match, the system approves access to the venue by issuing a venue access approval, and the disclosed architecture includes encrypted storage and end-to-end encryption for venue access requests together with a distributed ledger system and key management/validation for issuing access credentials under validity windows and venue requirements.
Claims Coverage
The document contains two independent claims that both center on certifying compliance with venue-adopted health requirements using a kiosk test platform, with user identity confirmation based on biometric samples obtained alongside a test sample result, and issuing a venue access approval when a match to venue health requirements is identified.
Kiosk-based identity-confirmed compliance certification and venue access approval
The processor receives a transaction request from a user with initial identification and access to a user data store containing stored health data, including a test sample result and a concurrent biometric sample obtained with collection of the test sample; the kiosk receives a biometric sample; the processor compares the biometric sample with the concurrent biometric sample to confirm identity; the processor identifies a match between the user test sample result and health requirements of the venue; and based on the match, the processor approves access to the venue.
Test platform at a user-accessible kiosk for issuing venue access approval
A test platform instantiated at a kiosk accessible by a user includes a processor, test sample station, biometric sample station, display and user interface component, communications component, and an application biometric key (ABK) component; the processor receives a transaction request providing initial identification and access to a user health data store comprising a test sample result and a concurrent biometric sample obtained with the collection of the test sample; the test platform receives a biometric sample; the processor compares the biometric sample with the concurrent biometric sample to confirm identity; identifies in the stored user health data a match between the user health test sample results and health requirements of the venue; and based on the identified match, issues a venue access approval.
Both independent claims require a kiosk/test-platform processor workflow where a transaction request provides initial identification and access to stored health data with a concurrent biometric sample; the kiosk receives biometric samples to confirm identity; stored test sample results are compared to venue health requirements to identify a match; and a venue access approval is issued or used based on that match.
