System and method for comparing images
First Claim
1. A method of determining whether a user of a mobile device corresponds to a previously authenticated user, the previously authenticated user having been previously authenticated using an identity document, the method comprising:
- accessing, by a chip reader associated with the mobile device, an integrated circuit component of an identity document;
retrieving digital image data indicative of a digital image of the previously authenticated user;
capturing, using a camera associated with the mobile device, a first image comprising first image data, wherein the first image corresponds to an image of a portion of the identity document containing a photographic image visible on the identity document;
capturing, using the camera associated with the mobile device, a second image comprising second image data, wherein the second image corresponds to the user of the mobile device;
comparing the retrieved digital image data to the first image data and the second image data;
determining, based on the comparing of the retrieved digital image data to the first image data and the second image data, whether the first image, the second image, and the digital image represent the same user; and
forming an association between the previously authenticated user, and the mobile device when it is determined that the first image, the second image, and the digital image represent the same user.

Abstract
Systems and method for comparing images are disclosed. In particular, certain disclosed embodiments relate to determining whether a user of a mobile device corresponds to a previously authenticated user, the user having been previously authenticated via an identity document. The determination may be made by accessing an integrated circuit component of the identity document, capturing a first image corresponding to a portion of the identity document containing a photographic image of the previously authenticated user, and capturing a second image corresponding to a user of the mobile device.

11. A system for determining whether a user of a mobile device corresponds to a previously authenticated user, the previously authenticated user having been previously authenticated using an identity document, the system comprising:
-
a processor; a memory in data communication with the processor; a chip reader associated with the mobile device configured to; access an integrated circuit component of the identity document; and retrieve digital image data indicative of a digital image of the previously authenticated user; a camera associated with the mobile device configured to; capture a first image comprising first image data, wherein the first image corresponds to an image of a portion of the identity document containing a photographic image visible on the identity document; capture a second image comprising second image data, wherein the second image corresponds to the user of the mobile device; and computer instructions stored in the memory, which, when executed by the processor, are configured to cause the system to; compare the retrieved digital image data to the first image data and the second image data; determine, based on the comparison, whether the first image, the second image, and the digital image represent the same user; and
,form an association between the previously authenticated user when it is determined that the first image, the second image, and the digital image represent the same user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising a set of computer-readable instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method of determining whether a user of a mobile device corresponds to a previously authenticated user, the previously authenticated user having been previously authenticated using an identity document, the method comprising:
-
accessing, by a chip reader associated with the mobile device, an integrated circuit component of an identity document; retrieving digital image data indicative of a digital image of the previously authenticated user; capturing a first image comprising first image data, using a camera associated with the mobile device, wherein the first image corresponds to an image of a portion of the identity document containing a photographic image visible on the identity document; capturing a second image comprising second image data, using the camera associated with the mobile device, wherein the second image corresponds to the user of the mobile device; comparing the retrieved digital image data to the first image data and the second image data; determining, based on the comparing of the retrieved digital image data to the first image data and the second image data, whether the first image, the second image, and the digital image represent the same user; and forming an association between the previously authenticated user, and the mobile device when it is determined that the first image, the second image, and the digital image represent the same user.
