Methods are disclosed for performing an update to a biometric access system. An instruction is received at a handheld device defining the update. An encoded signal is generated from the instruction to be transmitted to a biometric terminal from the handheld device. An acknowledgment is received from the biometric terminal at the handheld device that the encoded signal has been received and acted upon. Update information is transmitted from the handheld device over a network to a server to record the update.

Updates of biometric access systems

Biometric terminals are disclosed that include a biometric reader, an input device, and a processor coupled with the biometric reader and the input device. The processor has instructions to read a biometric measure from a user with the biometric reader. It also has instructions to receive an encoded signal from a handheld device with the input device, the encoded signal including an instruction to update a biometric access system. Instructions are included to decode the encoded signal and to modify biometric access by the user to the biometric access system in accordance with the instruction to update the biometric access system. Update of the biometric access system is acknowledged.

Biometric terminals

Methods are disclosed for transmitting information from a handheld device to a terminal. The information is encoded as a barcode pattern. The barcode pattern is generated on a display of the handheld device. A size of the barcode pattern is periodically modulated on the display while maintaining internal relative dimensions within the barcode pattern. The periodically modulating barcode pattern is displayed to an optical reader of the terminal.
