Patent number: 10776470Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described for verifying the identity of a user using two components of face analysis. In a first part, the technique determines whether captured face information matches a previously stored structural face signature pertaining to the user. The structural face signature describes, at least in part, gross structural characteristics of the face that are largely invariant from pose to pose. In the second part, the technique determines whether the captured face information matches a dynamic face signature associated with the user. The dynamic face signature describes movement of parts of the face over a span of time as the user performs a gesture, and the correlation of different parts of the face during the movement. The technique reduces the risk that a malicious actor can successfully artificially duplicate the appearance of an authorized user.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2019Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: John C.

Patent number: 10402083Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of communications technologies, and provide a fingerprint event processing method and apparatus, and a terminal, so as to resolve a problem of how to simplify operation steps of using a terminal. The method includes: receiving, by a terminal, a first fingerprint by using a fingerprint sensor; generating, by the terminal, a fingerprint event according to the first fingerprint; when an operation to be executed by the terminal includes an identity authentication operation, executing, by the terminal, the identity authentication operation according to the fingerprint event; and when the operation to be executed by the terminal does not include the identity authentication operation, executing, by the terminal, an operation corresponding to a first preset event according to the first preset event. Solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to processing of a fingerprint event.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2015Date of Patent: September 3, 2019Assignee: Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd.Inventor: Zaishang Wang

Patent number: 10372896Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a pattern input apparatus and a pattern input method for user authentication. According to the present disclosure, differently from the pattern function of the related art, the user does not directly input a pattern through a pattern lock interface, but inputs the pattern using a virtual manipulation interface which is separately provided. Therefore, it is strong to a smudge attack. The pattern input method of the present disclosure includes providing a virtual manipulation interface to input the pattern on the screen of the device to the user, separately from a pattern lock interface; and receiving the pattern through the virtual manipulation interface.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2014Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: INDUSTRY-ACADEMIC COOPERATION FOUNDATION, YONSEI UNIVERSITYInventors: Tae Kyoung Kwon, Sa Rang Na
