US Patent 11916901 Systems and methods for smartcard biometric enrollment

Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media relate to smartcard biometric enrollment. In an embodiment that does not require a user to visit a central location to provide fingerprint images, an activation code corresponding to a unique ID that uniquely identifies a user of a service is generated and sent to the user. In response, at least one finger image is received from a user device. The image is processed to isolate a fingerprint image, which is used to generate a biometric template that is sent to a smartcard manufacturer and used to configure a smartcard for biometric authentication of the user. In another embodiment, a kiosk/ATM provides smartcard biometric enrollment by detecting a smartcard in the smartcard reader, verifying an ID of a user associated with the smartcard, capturing a biometric image from the user, processing the biometric image to generate a biometric template, and storing the biometric template on the smartcard.
