Patent number: 11488419Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure include receiving a color image and an IR image, the IR image taken contemporaneously with the color image, providing a set of facial landmarks depicted in the color image, determining a depth value for each facial landmark in the set of color landmarks, depth values being provided from the IR image, determining an average depth difference based on at least a sub-set of facial landmarks in the set of facial landmarks, comparing the average depth difference to a difference threshold to provide a comparison, and selectively authenticating the person based on the comparison.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Jeffrey James Wolf, Michael James Smith, Christopher J. McClellan, Matthew Francis Keller, Evan Robert Thompson, Johnathan David MacGregor

Patent number: 11321962Abstract: Implementations include actions of receiving consumer-specific data and ID-specific data from an identification presented by a consumer to a vending machine, processing at least a portion of the ID-specific data to determine one or more of whether the identification is unexpired and whether the identification is authentic, and serving the consumer from the vending machine at least partially in response to determining that the identification is unexpired and that the identification is authentic and determining that the consumer is authentic relative to the identification.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Christopher J. McClellan, Jon C. Carder, Kevin D. McCann, Benjamin Scott Rogers, Christopher Bryan Paul Barr, Josef Salyer, Michael James Smith, David W. Nippa

Patent number: 11214475Abstract: Implementations of the present disclosure are directed to dispensing beverages from a beverage dispensing machine and include determining, from computer-readable media, pour parameters for a beverage of a plurality of beverages, the pour parameters being specific to the beverage, at least one pour parameter including a tilt value, and automatically, by the beverage dispensing machine: rotating a drum that holds a vessel to achieve the tilt value, initiating dispensing of the beverage into the vessel from a tap, automatically rotating the drum to reduce the tilt value of the vessel during dispensing of the beverage, and ceasing dispensing of the beverage into the vessel from the tap, the tilt value being substantially zero upon ceasing.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2021Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Evan Isaac Timerding Gant, Christopher J. McClellan, Brian Cherbak, Andrew Turner Kriebel, Kyle Andrew Tucker, Amy Eleanor Loomis, James Patrick McCabe, Jr., Jaewon Sam Kang, Gregory T. Schulte
