Patent number: 11934504Abstract: A method of host-directed illumination for verifying the validity of biometric data of a user is provided that includes capturing biometric data from a user with an authentication device during authentication and directing illumination of the biometric data from a host authentication system during the capturing operation. Moreover, the method includes comparing illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data against illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation, and determining that the user is a live user when the illumination characteristics of the captured biometric data match the illumination characteristics expected to result from the directing operation.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Daon TechnologyInventors: Richard Jay Langley, Michael Peirce, Nicolas Jacques Jean Sezille

Publication number: 20230222826Abstract: A method for determining authenticity of a document is provided that includes receiving, by an electronic device, an image of a document, assigning a label to the image, and obtaining vectors for each image in a subset of images. Each image is of a document and is assigned the same label as the received image. Moreover, the method includes encoding the received image into a vector, calculating a distance between the vector of the received image and each obtained vector, comparing each of the calculated distances against a threshold distance, and calculating a number of the calculated distances that are less than or equal to the threshold distance. In response to determining the calculated number is at least equal to a required number, the document in the received image is determined to be authentic. Otherwise, the received image requires manual review.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2022Publication date: July 13, 2023Inventors: Adria PEREZ-ROVIRA, Nicolas Jacques Jean SEZILLE

Patent number: 10607054Abstract: A method of capturing biometric data is provided that includes activating a security application in a device. The security application is activated by an operator of the device and is configured to cause the device to display an outline image. Moreover, the method includes displaying the outline image in a stationary position on a display of the device, positioning desired biometric data proximate the device such that the desired biometric data appears as a biometric image on the device display, and monitoring the outline and biometric images shown on the device display. Furthermore, the method includes positioning the device and the desired biometric data to better align the outline and biometric images when the outline and biometric images do not align and capturing the desired biometric data from an individual after approximately aligning the outline image with the biometric image.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: DAON HOLDINGS LIMITEDInventors: Tevfik Burak Sahin, Michael Peirce, Nicolas Jacques Jean Sezille, Conor Robert White

Patent number: 10430679Abstract: A method for detecting user head motion during an authentication transaction is provided that includes generating, by a processor, a motion type feature vector and a user head motion type prediction based on data generated for a sequence of frames. The frames are included in biometric data captured from a user. Moreover, the method includes generating a liveness rating feature vector based on the generated frame data, merging the motion type and liveness rating vectors, and generating a spoof prediction from the merged vector. When the generated spoof prediction indicates biometric data in the frames was spoofed, the method includes changing the user head motion type prediction to no motion. The method also includes storing the user head motion type prediction in a buffer and determining a final user head motion type detected for the frames.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2018Date of Patent: October 1, 2019Assignee: DAON HOLDINGS LIMITEDInventor: Nicolas Jacques Jean Sezille
