  • Automatic retries for facial recognition
    Patent number: 11693937
    Abstract: An operation of a facial recognition authentication process may fail to authenticate a user even if the user is an authorized user of the device. In such cases, the facial recognition authentication process may automatically re-initiate to provide another attempt to authenticate the user using additional captured images. For the new attempt (e.g., the retry) to authenticate the user, one or more criteria for the images used in the facial recognition authentication process may be adjusted. For example, criteria for distance between the camera and the user's face and/or occlusion of the user's face in the images may be adjusted before the new attempt to authenticate the user. Adjustment of these criteria may increase the likelihood that the authorized user will be successfully authenticated in the new attempt.
