Patent number: 12199964Abstract: A user specific tic behavior detection-based method and system of performing an authentication of video of a person in order to authorize access to a secured resource. The user provides audio and/or video data in which they exhibit one or more tic behaviors. When a person later requests access to the user's account, the system and method are configured to capture a video and/or audio recording of the person requesting access. The data is evaluated to determine whether the previously detected tic behavior is present. If the tic behavior is present, the system determines the image or voice is authentic and can verify an identity of the person. In some cases, the system can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2021Date of Patent: January 14, 2025Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Brian Tougas, William Daniel Farmer, Ruthie D. Lyle, Kelly Q. Baker, Ryan Thomas Russell, Noe Alberto Martinez

Patent number: 12189732Abstract: A sound-based method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed. The system and method are configured to transmit an audio signal to a remotely located smart device. When the smart device produces the audio signal, a nearby computing device captures the audio signal and provides the captured audio data to an authentication platform. The audio data is compared to the transmitted audio signal. The system can determine whether there is a match between the captured audio data and the transmitted audio data. If there is a match, the system verifies an identity of the person and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2021Date of Patent: January 7, 2025Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Brian Tougas, William Daniel Farmer, Ruthie D. Lyle, Kelly Q. Baker, Ryan Thomas Russell, Noe Alberto Martinez

Publication number: 20240329737Abstract: An eye tracking system can include eye-tracking camera(s) configured to obtain images of the eye at different exposure times or different frame rates. For example, longer exposure images of the eye taken at a longer exposure time can show iris or pupil features, and shorter exposure, glint images can show peaks of glints reflected from the eye. The shorter exposure glint images may be taken at a higher frame rate than the longer exposure images for more accurate gaze prediction. The shorter exposure glint images can be analyzed to provide glint locations to subpixel accuracy. The longer exposure images can be analyzed for pupil center and/or center of rotation. The eye tracking system can predict gaze direction, which can be used for foveated rendering by a wearable display system. In some instances, the eye-tracking system may estimate the location of a partially or totally occluded glint.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2024Publication date: October 3, 2024Inventors: Daniel FARMER, David COHEN, Bradley Vincent STUART

Publication number: 20240290053Abstract: A display system includes a head-mounted display configured to project light, having different amounts of wavefront divergence, to an eye of a user to display virtual image content appearing to be disposed at different depth planes. The wavefront divergence may be changed in discrete steps, with the change in steps being triggered based upon whether the user is fixating on a particular depth plane. The display system may be calibrated for switching depth planes for a main user. Upon determining that a guest user is utilizing the system, rather than undergoing a full calibration, the display system may be configured to switch depth planes based on a rough determination of the virtual content that the user is looking at. The virtual content may have an associated depth plane and the display system may be configured to switch to the depth plane of that virtual content.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2024Publication date: August 29, 2024Inventors: Samuel A. MILLER, Lomesh AGARWAL, Lionel Ernest EDWIN, Ivan Li Chuen YEOH, Daniel FARMER, Sergey Fyodorovich PROKUSHKIN, Yonatan MUNK, Edwin Joseph SELKER, Erik FONSEKA, Paul M.

Patent number: 12050727Abstract: An eye tracking system can include an eye-tracking camera configured to obtain images of the eye at different exposure times or different frame rates. For example, longer exposure images of the eye taken at a longer exposure time can show iris or pupil features, and shorter exposure, glint images can show peaks of glints reflected from the cornea. The shorter exposure glint images may be taken at a higher frame rate (than the longer exposure images) for accurate gaze prediction. The shorter exposure glint images can be analyzed to provide glint locations to subpixel accuracy. The longer exposure images can be analyzed for pupil center or center of rotation. The eye tracking system can predict future gaze direction, which can be used for foveated rendering by a wearable display system. In some instances, the eye-tracking system may estimate the location of a partially or totally occluded glint.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2023Date of Patent: July 30, 2024Assignee: Magic Leap, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Farmer, David Cohen, Bradley Vincent Stuart

Patent number: 12033149Abstract: A payment card security system includes a payment card provider account system communicatively coupled to a payment card transaction device and a mobile device. The payment card transaction device sends an indication that a payment card is being used to perform a transaction. The payment card provider account system includes processors that receive the indication that the payment card is being used to perform the transaction from the payment card transaction device. The processors also send a notification indicating that the payment card is being used to perform the transaction. The processors further enable authorization of the transaction via the mobile device. In this manner, the payment card security system may prevent or reduce the occurrence of suspicious transactions as they are occurring, rather than waiting until after they have occurred.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2021Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Nathan Scott Harman, Ashley Nicole Munoz, Matthew David LaBrenz, Mark Jeffrey Wallace, Bryan Leonard Bain, William Daniel Farmer, James Edward Finley, Jr., Arthur Vajirasarn

Patent number: 12026239Abstract: A sound-based method and system of performing an authentication of a person in order to permit access to a secured resource is disclosed. The system and method are configured to collect audio data from an end-user in real-time that corresponds to ambient sounds for their alleged location. The audio data is compared to verified audio data for the actual location. The system can determine whether there is a match between the user audio data and audio data previously collected and stored in a database or obtained from an audio service provider. If there is a match, the system verifies an identity of the person and can further be configured to automatically grant the person access to one or more services, features, or information for which he or she is authorized.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2021Date of Patent: July 2, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Brian Tougas, William Daniel Farmer, Ruthie D.

Patent number: 11989019Abstract: An autonomous vehicle includes vehicle sensors that detect driving conditions and a communication interface communicatively coupled with a driving condition database via a communication network. The driving condition database stores vehicle sensor information indicative of first driving conditions and mobile device sensor information indicative of second driving conditions. Additionally, in response to a connection rating determination logic determining that a connection rating between the communication interface and the communication network below a threshold, a controller of the autonomous vehicle gathers, processes, and stores the vehicle sensor information and the mobile device sensor information for subsequent communication to the driving condition database and operates the autonomous vehicle based on the vehicle sensor information and the mobile device sensor information.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: United Services Automobile Association (USAA)Inventors: Pooja Krishnaswamy, Victor Kwak, Huihui Wu, Justin Nash, Michael Lebowitz, William Daniel Farmer
