Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic identity verification are disclosed. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method is provided for verifying the identity of an entity associated with a mobile device. A location of the mobile device along a predefined travel path of the entity is determined from data identifying an interaction between the mobile device and at least one device located at a respective point along the travel path. An assurance level of the entity is determined, wherein the assurance level is adjusted based on the determined location or in the absence of receiving data identifying an interaction over a predefined time window. The identity of the entity is verified if the determined assurance level meets a defined threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for baggage identification and baggage-based user identity verification are described. In one embodiment, a user device receives a challenge message associated with a baggage item, from a server. In response, the device outputs, by an augmented or mixed reality user interface, a prompt to respond to the challenge using the baggage item. The augmented or mixed reality user interface receives a user's response to the challenge message, the response identifying a user-defined location on the baggage item. The device generates a response to the challenge message based on the identified location. The response is transmitted to the server, whereby a result is received from the server based on verification of the user-defined location communicated via the challenge response. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Systems and methods for a machine learning query handling platform are described, whereby each computing node in a computer network is configured to implement a respective local prediction model that calculates an output based on input attributes passed through trained parameters of the local prediction model, whereby at least two of the computing nodes calculate different predicted outputs to the same input attributes. In an embodiment, the trained parameters of each local prediction model include a first set of parameters received from a remote server, a second set of parameters received from another interconnected computing node, and a third set of parameters based on data in a local memory. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic control of security systems based on identity are disclosed. In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for controlling a security system comprises receiving interaction data from one or more external systems associated with predefined stages of a passenger's travel path, the interaction data indicative of interaction by the passenger with said one or more external systems, storing and updating data defining an assurance level of the passenger, wherein the assurance level is increased in response to receiving said interaction data, and wherein the assurance level is decreased in the absence of receiving interaction data within a predefined elapsed time, receiving data identifying a request from a security system, the request including data identifying the passenger, and responsive to said request, generating and outputting a control signal to the security system in dependence on the stored assurance level of the identified passenger.

Abstract: A system and method for dynamic travel path planning are disclosed. The system retrieves data defining a customer's journey including at least one scheduled flight to or from a configured airport terminal that includes a plurality of customer locating means. Planning data is received from a plurality of predefined data sources, including customer location data and environment data. The system determines schedule data defining a dynamic travel path for the customer's journey based on received planning data. The system identifies a disruption to the dynamic travel path based on received planning data and updates the schedule data by adjusting the timing parameters of affected journey segments and key events based on received planning data. The schedule data is transmitted to the customer's mobile device for display as an interactive interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods for queue monitoring are described, whereby imprint data is captured from people entering a first zone of a monitored queue area at respective times, and a corresponding profile is determined for each person entering the first zone based on the respective captured imprint data. Imprint data is captured from a person entering a second zone of the monitored queue area at a respective time, and a corresponding profile is determined based on the respective captured imprint data. The profile of the person entering the second zone is compared to the profiles of people entering the first zone to determine a match. Queue measurements, such as a travel time between the zones, is computed from the relative capture times of the imprint data.
