Abstract
A digital scanner system and method are provided for selecting a destination profile using personal identification data. The method comprises: supplying personal identification data; supplying a document; scanning the document; and, sending the scanned document to a destination selected in response to the personal identification data. The personal identification data can be biometric data such as retina images, voice audio, and fingerprints, or a smart card. The method typically comprises: establishing a network with a plurality of connecting destination addresses. Then, sending the scanned document includes sending the file of digital information via the network to a particular destination address. Some aspects additional comprise: creating a library where a plurality of biometric data items associated with a particular user, are cross-referenced to destination addresses; accessing the library; searching the library for biometric data matching the supplied biometric data; and, selecting the destination address corresponding to the matching biometric data.
