PassPro®
The fast, secure passenger boarding system
PassPro®
is the fast, convenient passenger identity boarding and
bag match system that was developed for interfacing with
existing airline systems. PassPro assists in maintaining
the convenience in air travel while complying with increased
security and public relations requirements for accuracy
of manifest, bag match and swift boarding with decreased
waiting lines. The typical passenger check-in process is
accelerated initially by instantly acquiring the passenger's
video image and identification and compressing them into
a 2-dimensional barcode which is printed on the passenger's
boarding pass. When the boarding pass is scanned at the
Jetway, the passenger's color image appears from the barcode
onto a computer screen to confirm the right to board. Also
at check-in, the passenger's bag image is similarly captured
for matching to the passenger's ID. This process is used
to accelerate recognition of the bag for non-board retrieval
and identifying lost baggage.
For
subsequent travel a PassPro card is mailed to provide a
"one second check-in." Of course, PassPro is also
applicable to cargo and counter-to-counter parcel shipments
documenting the person tendering the package.
