Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0235480A1] A method, system, and computer-readable medium that determine and/or confirm whether an individual is legally entitle and/or permitted to purchase a restricted product based upon a biometric measurement. Biometric information is received and used to identify a group to which a potential customer belongs. This group membership information is used to confirm whether or not the individual is legally entitle and/or permitted to purchase a restricted product. This can be done, e.g., by comparing the determined membership information with jurisdictional information specific to a certain restricted product. Moreover, a record of the provided biometric information can be stored to reduce the liability of the vendor in the case of falsified information.
