Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for visual data processing of mimed images for authentication. Authentication may be required for a user and/or an account of the user, for example, to verify the identity of the user or allow the user to access and use the account of the user. As an additional factor to authentication, increased authentication may be accomplished through who and what the user is, such as through facial recognition and biometrics of the user. During authentication, the user may be presented with a set of images or icons, such as digital emojis, that convey and emotion or idea. The user may be asked to mimic the emojis during authentication, where the user's facial expression is recorded. To authenticate the user, the recorded data may be compared to past data through facial recognition processing and image analysis to find similarities.

Authentication attempt information is determined that includes a number of authentication attempts by the user, and used in a hash operation with the verified static user key to generate a first user authentication key. A second user authentication key is retrieved from the public ledger that was sent from the first current authentication public ledger address to the second current authentication public ledger address in a transaction, and the user is authenticated if the second user authentication key matches the first user authentication key.

Abstract: A computer system detects the reception of a first token associated with a first transaction. The computer system determines that a first Payments Reward Identifier (PRI) is associated with the first token by accessing a PRI database. In response to determining that the first PRI is associated with the first token, the computer system accesses the PRI database and determines that the first PRI is associated with a record within the PRI database that corresponds to a first rewards ID (RID). In response to determining that the first PRI is associated with a record within the PRI database that corresponds to the first rewards, the computer system determines a first rewards amount corresponding to the first transaction, and updates a total rewards amount, in a rewards database, corresponding to the determined first RID based on the first rewards amount.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing location based voice recognition include receiving, through a first microphone, an audio signal from a first user that includes an audio command requesting a service that requires user authorization before access to at least a portion of the service is granted. The user authorization is based on voice recognition (e.g., voice authentication and/or voice identification) of the audio signal. The source location of the audio signal is determined and a user location of the first user is determined. If the source location of the audio signal correlates with the user location, voice recognition on the audio signal may be performed. The first user may be authorized to access the service based on the voice recognition performed on the audio signal.
