AUTOMATED IDENTITY ASSESSMENT METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of assessing an entity at a first user terminal connected to a data network, the data network including one or more user records collectively forming a “
- user account”
in a database in a data store accessible by the control system and wherein said user account includes a set of identifying characteristics relating to a registered user, said control system including a gesture recognition system, said control system operable to perform the method of assessing an entity, including;
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 a time-delimited sequence of unpredictable prompts to said entity for prompting a performance of visible prompted actions;
c) invoking storage or transmission of at least one video recording of said prompted action performance from said entity to said gesture recognition system;
d) performing an automated assessment of said video recording and generating an assessment signal indicative of said assessment, wherein said automated assessment includes;
assessment by the gesture recognition system, the assessment signal respectively including a positive or negative indication of whether or not said entity validly performed said prompted action.

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 a time-delimited sequence of unpredictable prompts (18) to the entity (15) for a performance of visible prompted actions (20). A video recording (21) of the prompted action performance is stored in a data store (61) and the control system performs an automated assessment of the video recording (21) by a gesture recognition system (67d) and generates an assessment signal respectively including a positive or negative indication of whether or not said entity (15) validly performed said prompted actions.
