A pose of the hand relative to the camera may vary due to rotation, translation, articulation of joints in the hand, and so forth. One or more canonical images are generated by mapping the images to a canonical model. A first embedding model is used to determine a first embedding vector representative of the palm as depicted in the canonical images. A second embedding model is used to determine a set of second embedding vectors, each representative of individual fingers as depicted in the canonical images. Embedding distances in the embedding space from the embedding vectors to a closest match of previously stored embedding vectors are multiplied together to determine an overall distance. If the overall distance is less than a threshold value, an identity of a user is asserted.

  • Patent number: 11720932
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and computer program product are disclosed that improve the efficiency and speed with which promotions can be generated. The method includes creating a promotion builder document, wherein the promotion builder document comprises a set of data elements guiding assembly of a promotion. The method further includes storing the promotion builder document in a memory connected to a computer network, and authorizing, by a processor, one or more remote users to access, via the computer network, the promotion builder document. The method further includes modifying the promotion builder document in response to instructions from at least one of the one or more remote users and assembling the promotion based on the promotion builder document. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are described herein.

  • Patent number: 11710297
    Abstract: A system and method for detecting a potential match between a candidate facial image and a dataset of facial images is described. Some implementations of the invention determine whether a candidate facial image (or multiple facial images) of a person taken, for example, at point of entry corresponds to one or more facial images stored in a dataset of persons of interest (e.g., suspects, criminals, terrorists, employees, VIPs, “whales,” etc.). Some implementations of the invention detect potential fraud in a dataset of facial images. In a first form of potential fraud, a same facial image is associated with multiple identities. In a second form of potential fraud, different facial images are associated with a single identity, as in the case, for example, of identity theft. According to various implementations of the invention, spectral clustering techniques are used to determine a likelihood that pairs of facial images (or pairs of facial image sets) correspond to the person or different persons.

  • Patent number: 11704940
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for dialog-based enrollment of individual users for single- and/or multi-modal recognition by an automated assistant, as well as determining how to respond to a particular user's request based on the particular user being enrolled and/or recognized. Rather than requiring operation of a graphical user interface for individual enrollment, dialog-based enrollment enables users to enroll themselves (or others) by way of a human-to-computer dialog with the automated assistant.

  • Patent number: 11615174
    Abstract: An authentication system is disclosed here to locally store and authenticate user data associated with a user. The authentication system comprises a biometric engine, a local database, a requesting module, and an authentication engine. The biometric engine stores biometric identification of the user for registration, which is retrieved using a user owned mobile device. The local database stores the user data associated with the user after the registration, and is in communication with the biometric engine via a client application. The requesting module is in communication with a processor to request an authentication of the user data, which is accepted if the request matches the identified user data. The authentication engine authenticates the user data by verifying the user data against one or more of the biometric identifications, and generate an authentication message that is sent to a proprietor that requests for the authentication of the user data.
