Remote subscriber identification (rsid) system and method

Abstract

The present invention discloses a Remote Subscriber Identification (RSID) system with a communication device in communication with a remote database capable of seamlessly storing, linking, and transferring mobile data to a user's communication device. The communication device receives a biometric information of a subscriber and accesses a subset of the mobile information by authenticating the user in the remote database and uses the subset of mobile information for communication with a third-party associated with at least one item of the subset of the mobile information. The user's data can be used on any communication device that capable of recognizing personal identifying information, transmitting this information to the remote database, accessing the user's subscriber specification information and any subscriber personalized information, and transmitting it to the user's communication device, enabling the user to use this information with the communication device.

1 . A system for accessing information stored remotely comprising:
 a communication device provided by a service provider or a third-party vendor, said communication device being configured for receiving authentication information from a subscriber and for transmitting said authentication information and being configured for facilitating communication between said subscriber and a third party;   a remote database for storing mobile information regarding the subscribers and for receiving said authentication information of said subscriber from said communication device;   memory coupled to said communication device for receiving and storing mobile information of said subscriber, said mobile information being received from said remote database; and   wherein said communication device receives, via a receiver, subscriber information of said subscriber and receives identification information associated with an item in said mobile information of said subscriber stored on said remote database upon a positive authentication of said subscriber;   wherein said subscriber information is provided for associating said communication device with said subscriber;   wherein said communication device receives, via the receiver, said item of said mobile information upon a selection of said identification information for automatically initiating communication with a third-party associated with said item; and   wherein said subscriber is billed by said service provider for using said communication device to access a communication network of said service provider upon associating said communication device with said subscriber.   
     
     
         2 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said authentication information includes biometric information regarding said subscriber. 
     
     
         3 . The system according to  claim 2 , wherein said biometric information comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of DNA pattern recognition, body geometry feature recognition, ear geometry feature recognition, hand geometry feature recognition, finger geometry feature recognition, skin recognition, fingerprint recognition, palm print recognition, facial recognition, optical recognition, retinal recognition, iris recognition, voice recognition, signature recognition, keystroke recognition, vascular pattern recognition, infrared identification, infrared face identification, infrared hand identification, infrared hand vein identification, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3  wherein pressing a key on the communication device scans the subscriber's fingerprint, and wherein said scan of said fingerprint comprises authentication information that is transmitted to said remote database, enabling the subscriber to use the device. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 3  wherein speaking into the communication device automatically captures a voiceprint of the subscriber, and wherein said voiceprint comprises authentication information that is transmitted to said remote database, wherein the subscriber is identified by means of voice recognition, enabling the subscriber to use the device. 
     
     
         6 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said subscriber is not billed by said service provider for usage of said communication device by another subscriber. 
     
     
         7 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said subscriber is charged for receiving a predefined number of communication devices to access said network. 
     
     
         8 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein a percentage of revenue from said billed subscriber is at least distributed to said provider of said communication device. 
     
     
         9 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said communication device comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a hand-held device, a cellular telephone, a camera cellular telephone, a hybrid cellular telephone, a PDA, personal computer, laptop computer, pocket computer, and hybrid electronic device. 
     
     
         10 . The system according to  claim 9 , wherein said communication device is fitted with a fingerprint scanner, wherein the scan of the subscriber fingerprint comprises authentication information that is transmitted to said remote database, enabling the subscriber to use the device. 
     
     
         11 . The system according to  claim 9 , wherein upon attempting to use the communication device, the subscriber receives a message from the remote database, wherein said message instructs the subscriber to take a picture of his or her finger with a camera of a camera-enabled device, wherein, further, said picture of the finger is transmitted to the remote database as authentication information. 
     
     
         12 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said mobile information comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a subscriber specification information including demographic information such as ethnicity, age, gender, relationship status, religion, educational background, employment background, financial background, personal appearance, sexual orientation, hobbies, a subscriber identity, a location data, a phone setting, a music content, a picture content, a video content, a message, a call record, and a game. 
     
     
         13 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said communication network is selected from a group consisting of a wired network, a wireless network, a GSM network, a CDMA network, an ISDN network, an Ethernet network, a CATV network, a Wi-Fi network, a LAN, and a Bluetooth network. 
     
     
         14 . The system according to  claim 1 , wherein said communication device clears its memory of said mobile information upon terminating communication with said communication network.
