METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR EYE-SCAN AUTHENTICATION USING A LIQUID LENS

摘要

A method and apparatus for providing authentication using an adaptive liquid lens are disclosed. For example, in one embodiment, the method receives a request for authentication from a mobile endpoint device of a user, wherein the request comprises a first retinal image of the user captured using an adaptive liquid lens of the mobile endpoint device. The method obtains a second retinal image of the user, wherein the second retinal image is a stored retinal image of the user. The method authenticates the first retinal image against the second retinal image. In another embodiment, the method captures a first retinal image of a user via a mobile endpoint device of the user, wherein the mobile endpoint device comprises an adaptive liquid lens. The method then sends a request for authentication from the mobile endpoint device over a network, wherein the request comprises the first retinal image.

主权项

1. A system for authenticating a first retinal image, comprising:
a processor of a credit card company; and a computer-readable medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
receiving a request for authentication from a mobile endpoint device of a user over a network, wherein the request comprises the first retinal image of the user captured using an adaptive liquid lens and a second lens of the mobile endpoint device, wherein the first retinal image of the user comprises a near-field image;obtaining a second retinal image of the user, wherein the second retinal image is a stored retinal image of the user;authenticating the first retinal image against the second retinal image; andforwarding authentication information of the user to a third party merchant.
