Verifying User Information

摘要

A computer is configured to impose an access restriction based upon user-provided information, such as a user's birthdate. In order to enforce such a restriction, the computer requests from a user an image of a valid identity document associated with the user, such as a valid driver's license. In response to receiving such an image from the user, the computer performs an image analysis on the image to extract user information. The computer might extract the user's name, address, birthdate, driver's license number, and/or other information from the image for instance. The computer may utilize the extracted information to determine whether the user should be granted access. The computer may determine based upon the extracted information, for instance, whether the age of the user is greater than a minimum age required to access the computer. The computer may be configured to restrict access to a Web site in this manner.

主权项

1. A system for verifying user information, the system comprising one or more computers configured to
receive a request for access from a device associated with a user requesting access, request a single still image or video stream comprising a first image of the user and an image of an identity document associated with the user requesting access in response to receiving the request for access, receive the single still image or video stream comprising the first image of the user and the image of the identity document, extract the first image of the user from the single still image or the video stream, extract a second image of the user from the image of the identity document in the single still image or the video stream, and determine whether the request for access is to be granted or denied by comparing the first image of the user to the second image of the user to determine if the user is shown in the identity document.
