  • Patent number: 12625937
    Abstract: Systems and methods for authenticating a user in an authentication system using a computing device configured to capture authentication biometric identity information. The authentication biometric identify information captured during an authentication session. The authentication biometric identify information may comprise or be derived from one or more images of the user being authenticated. The authentication biometric identify information is compared to root identify biometric information. The root identify biometric information is captured from a trusted source, such as trusted devices located at trusted locations, such as a government entity, financial institution, or business. Identity verification may occur by comparing the trusted root identify biometric information to the biometric identify information captured during an authentication session. Liveness determination may also occur to verify the user is a live person.

  • Patent number: 12627658
    Abstract: A method and system for establishing an association between a document and a person or verifying identity comprising capturing images of the person's face and processing the images to generate a face feature vector data. The face feature vector data cannot be reverse processed to generate the image of the person's face. The method also captures images of the graphic on the item and processes those images to extract graphic derived feature vector data that is stored inside the graphic code. The graphic extracted face feature vector data cannot be reverse processed to generate the image of the person's face. Then, the face derived feature vector data is compared to the graphic derived feature vector data to develop a similarity value. Then the similarity value is compared to a first threshold value to develop a validation indicator representing the likelihood that the graphic/item are associated with the person.

  • Patent number: 12579235
    Abstract: A method for detecting video feed injection during an authentication session comprising initiating an authentication session which utilizes a video feed from a camera, the camera part of a computing device that is used to capture video of a user during the authentication session. Next, activating the camera to obtain a video feed, monitoring for the requested video feed, and receiving a video feed. Detecting a time delay between activating the camera and to receiving the video feed. Comparing the time delay to an expected delay or range of expected delay, and, if the time delay does not match an expected delay or range of expected delay, terminating the authentication session. Optionally providing a notification that the time delay did not match the expected delay, range of expected delay, or both. The number of times this method occurs may be repeated a random number of times.

  • Patent number: 12500886
    Abstract: A method for generating a digital ID comprising capturing one or more user images of user's face, transmitting the one or more user images or data derived therefrom to a verification server and determining if the one or more images represent a live person. Capturing an ID image of a photo identification for the user and transmitting the ID image to the verification server. Comparing at least one of the one or more user images or data derived therefrom to the image of the user on the photo identification to determine if user in the one or more user images is the same person as the image on the photo identification. Responsive to a match from the comparing and a determination that a live person was captured in the one or more user images, generating a user digital ID, and transmitting the user digital ID to the user.

  • Patent number: 12423398
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enrolling and authenticating a user in an authentication system via a user's camera of camera equipped mobile device include capturing and storing enrollment biometric information from at least one first image of the user taken via the camera of the mobile device, capturing authentication biometric information from at least one second image of the user, capturing, during imaging of the at least one second image, path parameters via at least one movement detecting sensor indicating an authentication movement of the mobile device, comparing the authentication biometric information to the stored enrollment biometric information, and comparing the authentication movement of the mobile device to an expected movement of the mobile device to determine whether the authentication movement sufficiently corresponds to the expected movement.

  • Patent number: 12182244
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enrolling and authenticating a user in an authentication system via a camera of a computing device include capturing and storing biometric information from at least one first image and at least one second image of the user taken via the camera. Prior to use, the user answers personal questions and the answers are stored as stored answer data. Later, such as at a business, the questions are presented to the user and the user provides their personal answers via a computing device. The answers are processed and uploaded to an authentication server where a comparison occurs against the stored answer data. If a match does not occur, then the authentication/identity verification processes ends. If a match does occur, then the authentication process continues. The questions match may serve as a gate function for accessing authentication data stored in a blockchain.

  • Patent number: 11562055
    Abstract: A system for remote identity verification including a computing device configured to capture a first image of the user a first distance and capture a second image at a second distance and then processing the images to create one or more facemaps. The facemaps are processed to verify that the images were captured from a live person. If the facemaps represents a live person, the facemaps and a user identifying code are sent to a trusted image server. The rusted image server configured to, using the user ID code, retrieve a trusted image from a database and generate a trusted image facemaps. Then, compare captured image facemaps to the trusted image facemaps. Responsive to a match between the captured image facemaps and the trusted image facemaps, send a message to the computing device, a third-party server, or both providing notice of the match.
