DATA SECURITY SYSTEM
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A pen-based computing device for accessing secure data, the pen-based computing device having a casing, the pen-based computing device including a facial image sensor for capturing a facial image print, the facial image sensor being positioned at a sensor site in the casing of the pen-based computing device;
- whereby placement of the facial image sensor site in the casing of the pen-based computing device enables an incidental capture of the facial image of a user for purposes of identity authentication prior to each request to access the secure data; and
whereby placement of the sensor site in the casing of the pen-based computing device enables a continuous capture of a facial image print while the pen-based computing device is being used.

Abstract
A data security system comprises a host processor, and a plurality of remote computers. Each remote computer provides biometric authentication of a user prior to responding to the user request for data access. The remote computers are handheld when in operational mode. A sensor in the handheld computer captures a biometric image while the remote computer is being used. The biometric sensor is positioned in such a way that the sensor enables the capture of the biometric image continually during computer usage with each request for access to secure data. The biometric authentication occurs in a seamless manner and is incidental to the data request enabling user identity authentication with each request to access secure data.
