IDENTITY ASSESSMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of assessing an entity at a first user terminal connected to a data network, said method utilising a control system operable to perform the steps of:
- a) receiving an access request from at least one of;
said entity;
an assessing user at a second user terminal connected to the data network;
b) invoking or facilitating transmission of at least one unpredictable prompt to said entity for a performance of a visible prompted action;
c) invoking storage of at least one video recording of said prompted action performance from said entity in a data store;
d) invoking or facilitating transmission of said video recording from said data store and details of said prompt to a second user terminal for viewing and assessment by an assessing user.

Abstract
A method, system and software for assessing an entity (15) at a first user terminal (13) connected to a data network (10). A control system (11) is used to receive an access request (101) from the entity (15) or an assessing user (16) at a second user terminal (14). The control system (11) invokes or facilitates transmission of at least one unpredictable prompt (18) to the entity (15) for a performance of a visible prompted action (20). A video recording (21) of the prompted action performance is stored in a data store (61) and an automated assessment is made of the video recording (21) and/or a transmission of said video recording (21) and details of the prompt (18) is made to a second user terminal (14) for viewing and assessment by an assessing user (16).

48. A control system for facilitating entity assessment of an entity at a first user terminal connected to a data network, said control system including a computer system with a computer processor coupled to a system memory and programmed with computer readable instructions executable to perform the following procedures:
-
a) receiving and processing data relating to an access request from at least one of; said entity; an assessing user at a second user terminal connected to the data network; b) invoking or facilitating transmission of at least one unpredictable prompt for said entity to perform a visible prompted action; c) invoking storage of at least one video recording of said prompted action performance from said entity in a data store; d) invoking or facilitating transmission of said video recording from said data store and details of said prompt to a second user terminal for viewing and assessment by an assessing user. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 57, 60, 61, 62, 63, 68)
