Systems and methods for enabling biometric authentication options

摘要

A computer-implemented method for enabling biometric authentication options may include (1) identifying a device that includes a biometric authentication option that provides access to a protected feature of the device and that is based on a biometric trait and an initial authentication option that provides access to the protected feature and that is not based on the biometric trait, (2) detecting an authentication action that is performed by a user on the device that provides access to the protected feature via the initial authentication option, (3) capturing biometric data describing the biometric trait of the user in connection with the user performing the authentication action on the device, and (4) using the biometric data as training data for the biometric authentication option to enable the user to access the protected feature of the device via the biometric authentication option. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

1. A computer-implemented method for enabling biometric authentication options, at least a portion of the method being performed by a computing device comprising at least one processor, the method comprising: identifying a device that comprises: a biometric authentication option that provides access to a protected feature of the device and that is based on a biometric trait; and an initial authentication option that provides access to the protected feature of the device and that is not based on the biometric trait; detecting an authentication action that is performed by a user on the device that provides access to the protected feature of the device via the initial authentication option; capturing, automatically and in response to detecting the authentication action, and for use as training data for the biometric authentication option based on the user performing the authentication action successfully, biometric data describing the biometric trait as observed from the user in connection with the user performing the authentication action on the device; and using the biometric data that describes the biometric trait as observed from the user as training data for the biometric authentication option to automatically enable the user to access the protected feature of the device via the biometric authentication option and independently from the initial authentication option; wherein using the biometric data that describes the biometric trait as training data comprises: analyzing environmental conditions in which the biometric data was captured; analyzing differences between the environmental conditions; assessing a variability of the environmental conditions based on the differences; determining that the variability of the environmental conditions meets a predetermined threshold; using the biometric data as training data based at least in part on the variability meeting the predetermined threshold.
