The present invention provides the ability to solicit and obtain updated
information about a customer or person. The present invention can be
incorporated into a service provision system and thus, request updated
information from a customer attempting to access the service. In
operation, when the customer requests a service, the customer either
provides or is requested to provide sufficient information to identify
the customer. The system then extracts a customer profile based on the
identity of the customer. Portions or all of the customer profile is then
presented to the customer to verify for correctness. If the information
is incorrect, the customer can provide updated information immediately to
the system. The system can force the customer to either update the
information or affirmatively indicate the information is correct before
providing the service.
