Biometric authentication for video communication sessions

摘要

Systems and methods for integrating biometric authentication with video conference sessions are described. An individual seeking to participate in a video conference may first be identified with a biometric parameter such as an iris scan based on a comparison of the scanned iris with a database of stored parameters. If authorized, the system may connect the individual to the video session. In addition, the system may generate dynamic tags that allow the participants to identify and locate individuals in the video conference. For example, if one of the participants is speaking and moving within the room, her tag may change color and move with her on the video screen.

主权项

1. A computer implemented method for a video conference, comprising:
at a processor, scanning a biometric parameter of an individual; at a processor, determining whether the scanned biometric parameter of the individual matches a stored biometric parameter of a plurality of different stored biometric parameters for a plurality of individuals; at a processor, identifying the individual based upon the stored biometric parameter; determining whether the identified individual is authorized to participate in a video conference; and if authorized, at processor, connecting the identified individual to the video conference; if not authorized, at the processor, displaying a message on a display device indicating that an unauthorized individual has entered the video conference; not activating a microphone for the video conference wherein the microphone is associated with the unauthorized individual; and rescanning an iris of a previously authorized individual of the video conference for allowing the unauthorized individual to participate in the video conference.
