Systems and methods for authenticating a user based on a biometric model associated with the user
First Claim
1. A system for authenticating through a touch-screen interface, comprising:
- a screen configured to be biometrically engaged by a user;
one or more sensors configured to detect biometric engagements on the screen; and
one or more hardware processors configured to;
prompt the user to perform a movement challenge on the screen using a hand of the user, the challenge being based on a biometric model, the biometric model being unique to an authorized user and comprising information pertaining to movement capabilities of one or more parts of a hand;
receive, from the one or more sensors, data corresponding to one or more engagements with the screen from the hand of the user; and
grant access to an account of the authorized user in response to a determination that the data received from the one or more sensors is congruent with the biometric model within a predetermined degree of accuracy.

Abstract
Systems and methods as provided herein may create a biometric model associated with a user. The created biometric model may be used to generate challenges that are presented to the user for authentication purposes. A user response to the challenge may be compared to an expected response, and if the user response matches within a predetermined error of the expected response, the user may be authenticated. The systems and methods may further generate challenges that are adaptively designed to address weaknesses or errors in the created model such that the model is more closely associated with a user and the user is more likely to be the only person capable of successfully responding to the generated challenges.

8. An authenticating system comprising:
-
a screen configured to biometrically engage a user; one or more sensors configured to detect a biometric engagement on the screen; and
one or more hardware processors configured to read instructions from a coupled non- transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising;determine a challenge for obtaining values of a biometric model, the challenge comprising movement of one or more parts of a hand; prompt the user to perform the challenge on the screen using a hand of the user, receive, from the one or more sensors, data corresponding to a performance of the challenge through one or more engagements with the screen from the hand of the user;
determine values of the biometric model based on the received data; and
grant access to an account in response to a determination that the values of the biometric model match values of a stored biometric model within a predetermined degree of accuracy. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. An authenticating system comprising:
-
a non-transitory memory storing a biometric model for a user; and
one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising;receiving sensor data; based on the received sensor data, determining one or more of;
a first measurement of a structure of a hand, a second measurement of a range of motion of at least a portion of the hand, and a combination thereof;determining the received sensor data is consistent with the biometric model for the user; and providing access to an account associated with the one or more of the first measurement, the second measurement, and the combination thereof. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
