  • Patent number: 10320778
    Abstract: Some implementations may include a computer-assisted method for digitizing an identification document, the method including: receiving a digital biometric of a subject; applying the received digital biometric to a digital identification document; applying a digital watermark to the digital identification document, the digital watermark encoding personally identifiable information of the subject identified by the digital biometric; and generating the digital identification document with the applied digital watermark, the digital identification document comprising both the digital watermark and the digital biometric.

  • Publication number: 20190172172
    Abstract: Some implementations may include a method for watermarking an identification document, the method including: modulating a spatial luminance pattern associated with a first digital watermark to encode a first portion of personally identifiable information; modulating a spatial chrominance distribution associated with a second digital watermark to encode a second portion of the personally identifiable information; and applying the first digital watermark and the second digital watermark to the identification document.

  • Patent number: 10282802
    Abstract: Some implementations may include a computer-assisted method for authenticating a person at a point of service, the method including: receiving a digital identification document including a digital biometric of the person and a digital watermark, the digital watermark encoding personally identifiable information of the person; retrieving the digital watermark from the received digital identification document; extracting the personally identifiable information from the retrieved digital watermark; and authenticating the person identified by the digital biometric based on the retrieved digital watermark.

  • Patent number: 10257495
    Abstract: In general, one innovative aspect of the subject matter described in this specification may be embodied in methods that include generating a three-dimensional composite image of a user from a set of two dimensional facial images. For instance, a depth map may initially be generated for each of the two dimensional facial images based on depth information. The depth maps may be used to identify matching elements that are used to combine multiple two-dimensional images. The generated three-dimensional composite image may then be displayed on a digital identification of a user device. In some instances, the rendering of the three-dimensional composite image on the user device may be adjusted based on tilting motions.

  • Publication number: 20180315152
    Abstract: Some implementations may provide a method that includes: receiving, at a mobile device, data encoding a first digital watermark present on the identification document; extracting a first portion of personally identifiable information encoded by a spatial luminance pattern associated with the first digital watermark; receiving, at a mobile device, data encoding a second digital watermark present on the identification document; extracting a second portion of personally identifiable information encoded by a spatial luminance pattern associated with the first digital watermark; and validating the identification document based on at least one of the first portion of personally identifiable information or the second portion of personally identifiable information.

  • Publication number: 20180300545
    Abstract: Some implementations may include a method for watermarking an identification document, the method including: receiving a digitally watermarked digital facial portrait of the person, the digital facial portrait embedded with at least one digital watermark identifying payload data linking the digital facial portrait to the person portrayed in the digital facial portrait; receiving results of comparison between the digital facial portrait of the person and the person presenting the digitally watermarked digital facial portrait; retrieving the at least one digital watermark in response to receiving comparison results that the person portrayed in the digital facial portrait is the person presenting the digitally watermarked digital facial portrait; and determining that the digital facial portrait is authentic based on the retrieved at least one digital watermark.

  • Patent number: 10095924
    Abstract: A computer-assisted method includes: accessing information encoding a high-resolution image of an identification document, the high-resolution image captured from a camera of a mobile computing device; extracting personally identifiable information (PII) printed on more than one locations on the front of the identification document; correlating the PII to determine a first authentication factor; inspecting the high-resolution image to detect at least one fine-print feature from a substrate of the identification document, the at least one fine-print feature not detectable by naked eyes alone and without a visual aid; in response to (i) determining a match for the PII and (ii) determining that at least one fine-print feature is present, correlating the PII with information content from the at least one fine-print feature; and in response to determining that the PII are correlated with information content from the at least one fine-print feature that the identification document as authentic.

  • Publication number: 20170187707
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes: establishing a connection between a user device of a user and a system onboard a vehicle being driven by the user; requesting access, through the established connection, to user information on the user device; in response to a grant of access, retrieving at least a portion of the user information from the user device, the portion of user information including a digital identification document of the user that had been issued by an entity after having vetted the user, the digital identification document including a digital biometric of the user as well as a digital watermark indicating the issuing entity; and retaining, on the system onboard the vehicle, data encoding the digital identification document of the user on the vehicle such that when the vehicle is inspected by a third-party agent, the digital identification document of the user is presented to the third-party agent.
