Automated authorization response techniques
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having computer instructions stored thereon that are capable of causing a first computing device to perform operations comprising:
- processing a permission request received from a server system as an authentication factor in a multi-factor authentication procedure initiated by a second computing device;
determining that one or more automation criteria are met based on current values of one or more parameters determined by the first computing device; and
in response to the determining, automatically granting or denying the permission request without receiving user input indicating whether to grant or deny the permission request.

Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to automating permission requests, e.g., in the context of multi-factor authentication. A mobile device may allow a user to automate responses to future permission requests for multi-factor authentication procedures. The mobile device may automatically respond to subsequent permission requests based on one or more automation criteria. Authorized actions may include login, transaction approval, physical access, vehicle ignition, account recovery, etc. The automation criteria may include location, acceleration, velocity, wireless connectivity, proximity to another device, temperature, lighting, noise, time, biometrics, altitude, pressure, image characteristics, etc. Disclosed techniques may increase authorization security while reducing user interaction for multi-factor authentication, in some embodiments.

10. An apparatus, comprising:
-
one or more processors; one or more memories having program instructions stored thereon that are capable of execution by the one or more processors to cause the apparatus to; process a permission request received from a server system as an authentication factor in a multi-factor authentication procedure initiated by another computing device; determine that one or more automation criteria are met based on current values of one or more parameters determined by the apparatus; and in response to the determination, automatically grant or deny the permission request without receiving user input indicating whether to grant or deny the permission request. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a server computing system from a first device, a first request associated with a user account; sending, by the server computing system to a second device, a permission request as an authentication factor in a multi-factor authentication procedure for the first request; receiving, by the server computing system, an automatic grant or denial of the permission request, wherein the automatic grant or denial is generated by the second device, based on a determination that one or more automation criteria are met based on current values of one or more parameters determined by the second device, without receiving user input indicating whether to grant or deny the permission request; and generating a response to the first request based on the automatic grant or denial. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
