  • Patent number: 11227155
    Abstract: A biometric capture device is operative to adjust one or more environmental parameters to enhance a range (e.g., distance) at which a biometric may be captured from a subject. For example, a sample biometric capture device may be, include, or otherwise incorporate a retinal or iris scanner configured to capture an image of the retina or iris (e.g., a biometric) when the retina or iris is illuminated by infrared light. Generally, the amount of infrared light required to accurately image the retina or iris increases with the distance of the subject's retina or iris from the image capture device. The biometric capture device may capture a facial image using a first image sensor, identify a face in the facial image, capture an iris image using a second image sensor guided by the facial image, and identify a person using the iris image.

  • Patent number: 11159321
    Abstract: A system performs digital notarization using a biometric identification service. A signature requesting service receives a request to validate a digital item with a signature for a person. The signature requesting service provides a payload that identifies the digital item and/or the person to an identity service. The identity service obtains one or more digital representations of biometrics for the person, determines an identity for the person, and returns a data structure including the payload and one or more identity attestations regarding the determined identity. The identity service encrypts at least a portion of the data structure using a private encryption key. A public encryption key for the identity service can then be used to decrypt the portion to verify that the data structure was generated by the identity service after determining the identity. In this way, validation can be verified to the full trust level of the identification service.

  • Patent number: 11048956
    Abstract: A system provides intelligent gallery management for biometrics. A first gallery is obtained that includes biometric and/or other information on a population of people. An application is identified. A subset of the population of people is identified based on the application. A second gallery is derived from the first gallery by pulling the information for the subset of the population of people without pulling the information for the population of people not in the subset. Biometric identification (such as facial recognition) for the application may then be performed using the second gallery rather than the first gallery. In this way, the system is improved as less time is required for biometric identification, fewer device resources are used, and so on.

  • Patent number: 10628665
    Abstract: A system enhances capabilities by cooperatively using identity systems and identification databases. In some examples, a system uses a biometric to verify an identity for a person with an identification database, accesses identity information for the person in an identity system using the biometric, and performs an action using the identity information. In various examples, a system attempts to verify an identity for a person with an identification database using a biometric, attempts to verify the identity for the person with an identity system using the biometric, and performs an action if the identity is verified. In a number of examples, a system obtains a biometric and identity information for a person; uses at least one of the identity information or the biometric to verify an identity for the person; and, upon confirming the identity with an identification database using the biometric, enrolls the person in an identity system.
