Abstract
An augmented reality device (ARD) can present virtual content which can provide enhanced experiences with the user's physical environment. For example, the ARD can detect a linkage between a person in the FOV of the ARD and a physical object (e.g., a document presented by the person) or detect linkages between the documents. The linkages may be used in identity verification or document verification.
Core Innovation
The invention provides an augmented reality (AR) system and method for verifying an identity of a person. The system uses an outward-facing camera configured to image an environment under control of computer hardware, and it identifies first biometric information associated with the person based at least partly on an analysis of the image of the environment.
The system also identifies biometric information in documents presented by the person to the outward-facing camera. An optical sensor emits light outside of a human visible spectrum to enable identification of document biometric information that is only visible under the light outside of the human visible spectrum.
In this arrangement, the system determines a first match between the first biometric information and the second biometric information, and upon the determination of the first match, determines a second match between at least one of the first biometric information or the second biometric information with the third biometric information. The invention further characterizes biometric information as faces and performs match determination based on analysis of the environment image and document content.
Claims Coverage
The provided independent claims are clm-00001 and clm-00013, each centered on AR-based identity verification that uses an outward-facing camera and an optical sensor emitting light outside a human visible spectrum, with biometric extraction from the environment and presented documents and match determination between biometric information. Across the independent claims, the inventive features include environment imaging for first biometric identification, document-based biometric identification for second and third biometrics, non-visible-spectrum illumination enabling document biometric visibility and extraction, and match determination logic that compares first biometric information to document biometrics and, in clm-00001, performs a second match.
Outward-facing imaging of the environment for first biometric identification
Identifying a first biometric information associated with a person based at least partly on an analysis of the image of the environment obtained with an outward-facing camera configured to image an environment.
Non-visible-spectrum optical sensing for document biometric identification
Providing an optical sensor configured to emit light outside of a human visible spectrum, and identifying second biometric information and, in clm-00001, third biometric information in first and second documents presented by the person to the outward-facing camera.
Document biometric extraction from presented documents
Identifying second biometric information in a first document and identifying a third biometric information in a second document presented by the person to the outward-facing camera, with the second face in clm-00013 being identified in a photograph on a document that is only visible under the light outside of the human visible spectrum.
Match determination between environment biometric and document biometrics
Determining a first match between the first biometric information and the second biometric information, and in clm-00001, upon the determination of the first match, determining a second match between at least one of the first biometric information or the second biometric information with the third biometric information; in clm-00013, determining a match between the first biometric information with the second biometric information.
The independent claims cover an AR identity verification approach that combines outward-facing camera analysis to identify a first biometric from an environment image, non-visible-spectrum optical sensing to enable document biometric identification in presented documents, and biometric match determination by comparing the first biometric to document biometrics, with clm-00001 adding an additional second-match determination using a third document biometric.
