Event Registration And Management System And Method Employing Geo-tagging And Biometrics
A system and method employing geo-tagging and/or biometric identification is employed for registration and management of various events. Electronic devices are configured for capturing images and geo-tagging the captured images using the geographic position of the electronic device. Data relating thereto and related data concerning persons and/or locations and/or other things are associated with a unique identifier and are stored in a relational database from whence they may be retrieved and processed for generating a response or other follow up which can be communicated to an electronic device.

- 1. A method for operating a registration and management system comprising:
configuring an electronic device having a device identifier and including an imager for capturing images and a geographic position locator for determining geographic location, the configuring including configuring the electronic device for geo-tagging the captured images using the determined geographic location, for date-time stamping the geo-tagged captured images, and for receiving a unique identifier; receiving or providing a unique identifier associated with a registrant, a location and/or an event; causing the date-time stamped geo-tagged captured images to be associated with the unique identifier; receiving registration data relating to the registrant; associating the unique identifier with the received registration data relating to the registrant; storing data including the unique identifier, the date-time stamped geo-tagged captured images associated with the unique identifier, the received registration data relating to the registrant associated with the unique identifier, and the device identifier of the electronic device, in a relational data base that is separate from the electronic device; repeating the foregoing steps for a number of registrants; retrieving from the relational database stored data relating to a particular registrant, location and/or event using the unique identifier, or using a location of a geo-tagged captured image, or using the received registration data relating to the particular registrant, or using the device identifier, or using a combination thereof; generating from the retrieved data from the relational database relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event a response relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event, wherein the response comprises a task to be performed, or an action to be taken, or a supply to be provided, or equipment to be provided, or a schedule for performing a task, or a schedule for taking an action, or a report of a task and/or an action, or a combination thereof; and communicating the response relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event to the electronic device that captured data relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event using the device identifier of the electronic device that captured the data relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event or to an electronic device using the geographic location thereof.
- 12. A registration and management system comprising:
an electronic device having a device identifier and including an imager for capturing images and a geographic position locator for determining geographic location, the electronic device being configured for geo-tagging the captured images using the determined geographic location, for date-time stamping the geo-tagged captured images, and for receiving a unique identifier; a computer processor receiving or providing a unique identifier relating to a registrant, a location and/or an event, date-time stamped geo-tagged captured images associated with the unique identifier, registration data relating to the registrant, and associating the unique identifier with the received registration data relating to the registrant; a relational database storing data including the unique identifier, the date-time stamped geo-tagged captured images associated with the unique identifier, the received registration data relating to the registrant associated with the unique identifier, and the device identifier of the electronic device, wherein the relational data base is separate from the electronic device; wherein the foregoing is repeated for a number of registrants; the computer processor retrieving from the relational database stored data relating to a particular registrant, location and/or event using the unique identifier, or using a location of a geo-tagged captured image, or using the received registration data relating to the particular registrant, or using the device identifier, or using a combination thereof; the computer processor generating from the retrieved data from the relational database relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event a response relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event, wherein the response comprises a task to be performed, or an action to be taken, or a supply to be provided, or equipment to be provided, or a schedule for performing a task, or a schedule for taking an action, or a report of a task and/or an action, or a combination thereof; and a communication link communicating the response relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event to the electronic device that captured data relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event using the device identifier of the electronic device that captured the data relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event or to an electronic device using the geographic location thereof.
- 23. A method for operating a registration and management system comprising:
configuring an electronic device having a device identifier and including an imager for capturing images and a geographic position locator for determining geographic location, the configuring including configuring the electronic device for capturing a biometric identifier relating to a registrant, for geo-tagging the captured images using the determined geographic location, for geo-tagging the captured biometric identifier using the determined geographic location, for date-time stamping the geo-tagged captured images and the geo-tagged captured biometric identifier, and for receiving a unique identifier; receiving or providing a unique identifier associated with a registrant, a location and/or an event; causing the date-time stamped geo-tagged captured images and date-time stamped geo-tagged captured biometric identifier to be associated with the unique identifier; receiving registration data relating to the registrant; associating the unique identifier with the received registration data relating to the registrant; storing data including the unique identifier, the date-time stamped geo-tagged captured images associated with the unique identifier, the date-time stamped geo-tagged captured biometric identifier associated with the unique identifier, the received registration data relating to the registrant associated with the unique identifier, and the device identifier of the electronic device, in a relational data base that is separate from the electronic device; repeating the foregoing steps for a number of registrants; retrieving from the relational database stored data relating to a particular registrant, location and/or event using the unique identifier, or using a location of a geo-tagged captured image, or using the captured biometric identifier relating to the particular registrant, or using the received registration data relating to the particular registrant, or using the device identifier, or using a combination thereof; generating from the retrieved data from the relational database relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event a response relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event wherein the response comprises a task to be performed, or an action to be taken, or a supply to be provided, or equipment to be provided, or a schedule for performing a task, or a schedule for taking an action, or a report of a task and/or an action, or a combination thereof; and communicating the response relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event to the electronic device that captured data relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event using the device identifier of the electronic device that captured the data relating to the particular registrant, location and/or event or to an electronic device using the geographic location thereof.
