Abstract

Identity recognition is achieved using user'"'"'s living signatures, such as a heartbeat signal, from multiple devices. A user requests identity recognition for using a first registered device, such as a mobile device. The request is provided to a cloud. When the cloud confirms the mobile device is a registered device, the cloud directs the first registered device to upload the user living signature to the cloud. The cloud also sends a request to a user second registered device to upload the user living signature from the second registered device to the cloud. The user second registered device may be a headband monitor, watch, Google glasses, or the like capable of monitoring and uploading the user living signature to the cloud. The cloud compares both living signature signals from the first registered device and from the second registered device. If the signals are matched, the user identity is confirmed. If the signals are not matched, the user identity is not confirmed. Preferably the first registered device is a mobile device.

Claims

1. An identity recognition system using biological parameters from multiple mobile devices comprising:

a user first registered mobile device initiating a user identity recognition request to a cloud;

a user second registered mobile device, registered with an authority, capable of monitoring and uploading real-time biological parameters to the cloud; and

the cloud receiving the user identity recognition request from the first registered mobile device and verifying that the request is from the user first registered mobile device and directing the first registered device to upload a real-time biological parameter from the first registered mobile device to the cloud and sending a request to the user second registered mobile device to upload a user real-time biological parameter to the cloud and matching the real-time biological parameter from the first registered mobile device with the real-time biological parameter from the second registered mobile device for confirming the identity of the user of the user first registered device, the matching comprising;

subjecting both real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored by the user first registered mobile device and the user second registered mobile device received at the cloud to a time series analysis for measuring similarity between both the real-time biological parameters and if both the real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored with each other are similar the user identity is confirmed on the first registered mobile device and if both real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored with each other are not similar the user identity is not confirmed on the first registered mobile device.

2. The identity recognition system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the real-time biological parameter is a biometric signal.

3. The identity recognition system as forth in claim 2, wherein the biometric signal is a heartbeat signal.

4. The identity recognition system as set forth in claim 2, wherein the biometric signal is a heartbeat wavelength or other pattern(s) or number(s) calculated based on the pumping action of the heart, blood pressure, or body temperature.

5. The identity recognition system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the user first registered device is a mobile device.

6. The identity recognition system as set forth in claim 1, wherein the user second registered mobile device is a device capable of monitoring and uploading user real-time biological parameters to the cloud.

7. The identity recognition system as set forth in claim 6, wherein the user second registered mobile device is selected from the group consisting of heartbeat belt, Google glasses, or a watch.

8. A method of identity recognition using biological parameters from multiple mobile devices comprising:

initiating a user identity recognition request from a user first registered mobile device to a cloud;

verifying at the cloud that the request is from a user first registered mobile device and directing the first registered mobile device to upload a user real-time biological parameter to the cloud;

sending a request from the cloud to a user second registered mobile device, registered with an authority, to upload a user real-time biological parameter to the cloud; and

matching both of the uploaded real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored by the user first registered mobile device and the user second registered mobile device received at the cloud with each other for identity recognition where both real-time biological parameters are subject to a time series analysis for measuring similarity between the real-time biological parameters and if both real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored with each other are similar the user identity is confirmed on the first registered mobile device and if both real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored with each other are not similar the user identity is not confirmed on the first registered mobile device.

9. The method of identity recognition as set forth in claim 8, wherein the real-time biological parameter is a biometric signal.

10. The method of identity recognition as set forth in claim 9, wherein the biometric signal is a heartbeat signal.

11. The method of identity recognition system as set forth in claim 9, wherein the biometric signal is a heartbeat wavelength or other pattern(s) or number(s) calculated based on the pumping action of the heart, blood pressure, or body temperature.

12. The method of identity recognition as set forth in claim 8, wherein the user first registered device is a mobile device.

13. The method of identity recognition as set forth in claim 8, wherein the user second registered mobile device is a device capable of monitoring and uploading real-time biological parameters.

14. The method of identity recognition as set forth in claim 13, wherein the user second registered mobile device is selected from the group consisting of heartbeat belt, Google glasses, or a watch.

15. A non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable program for identity recognition using biological parameters from multiple mobile devices, comprising:

initiating a user identity recognition request from a user first registered mobile device to a cloud;

verifying at the cloud that the request is from a user first registered mobile device and directing the first registered device to upload a user real-time biological parameter to the cloud;

sending a request from the cloud to a user second registered mobile device, registered with an authority, to upload a user real-time biological parameter to the cloud; and

matching both of the uploaded real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored by the user first registered mobile device and the user second registered mobile device received at the cloud with each other for identity recognition where both real-time biological parameters are subject to a time series analysis for measuring similarity between the real-time biological parameters and if both real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored with each other are similar the user identity is confirmed on the first registered mobile device and if both real-time biological parameters concurrently monitored with each other are not similar the user identity is not confirmed on the first registered mobile device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable medium having computer readable program as set forth in claim 15, wherein the real-time biological parameter is a biometric signal.
