Method and apparatus for authenticating a user on a mobile device

摘要

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for authenticating a user on a mobile device. The method may include initiating authentication of the user for access to the mobile device, where access to the mobile device is granted upon successful authentication of the user by the mobile device. The method may also include performing face recognition analysis on an image of a face of the user to determine an identity of the user. Furthermore, the method may also include determining whether a first pulse information and a second pulse information associated with the user indicate a pulse match. The method may also include authenticating the user for access to the mobile device when a pulse match is determined and the determined identity of the user has permission to access the mobile device.

主权项

1. A method for authenticating a user on a mobile device, comprising:
initiating authentication of the user for access to the mobile device, wherein access to the mobile device is granted upon successful authentication of the user by the mobile device; capturing first video data from a first camera of the mobile device, wherein the first video data captures at least an image of a face of the user; capturing second video data from a second camera of the mobile device while the first video data is being captured by the first camera, wherein the second video data captures at least an image of a different part of the user; performing face recognition analysis on the image of the face of the user to determine an identity of the user; determining a first pulse information of the user from the first video data and a second pulse information of the user from the second video data; determining whether the first pulse information and the second pulse information indicate a pulse match based on a correlation between pulse rates determined from the first pulse information and the second pulse information, wherein one or both of the first pulse information and the second pulse information are temporally shifted when determining the correlation to account for a timing difference that occurs when pulse rate estimates are generated from video data of different locations of a body of the user; and authenticating the user for access to the mobile device when a pulse match is determined and the determined identity of the user has permission to access the mobile device.
