Facial recognition authentication system including path parameters
First Claim
1. A method for enrolling and authenticating a user in an authentication system via the user'"'"'s a mobile device comprising a camera and at least one movement detecting sensor, the mobile device also having a display, the method comprising:
- capturing enrollment biometric information from at least one first image of the user, the first image recorded by the camera of the mobile device;
storing the enrollment biometric information on a memory;
during an authentication session;
capturing authentication biometric information from at least one second image of the user, the second image recorded by the camera of the mobile device;
recording path parameter data from the at least one movement detecting sensor in the mobile device, the path parameter data generated by movement of the mobile device by the user and representing an authentication movement of the mobile device;
comparing the authentication biometric information to the stored enrollment biometric information to determine whether the authentication biometric information meets a predetermine similarity threshold as compared to the enrollment biometric information;
comparing the authentication movement of the mobile device to an expected movement of the mobile device to determine whether the authentication movement meets a predetermine similarity threshold as compared to the expected movement of the mobile device by the user, wherein the expected movement is based on a path of the mobile device that includes having a face of the user appear in a display area of the mobile device; and
when the authentication biometric information sufficiently corresponds with the enrollment biometric information, and when the authentication movement meets a predetermine similarity threshold as compared to the expected movement, authenticating the user.

Abstract
Systems and methods for enrolling and authenticating a user in an authentication system via a user'"'"'s camera of camera equipped mobile device include capturing and storing enrollment biometric information from at least one first image of the user taken via the camera of the mobile device, capturing authentication biometric information from at least one second image of the user, capturing, during imaging of the at least one second image, path parameters via at least one movement detecting sensor indicating an authentication movement of the mobile device, comparing the authentication biometric information to the stored enrollment biometric information, and comparing the authentication movement of the mobile device to an expected movement of the mobile device to determine whether the authentication movement sufficiently corresponds to the expected movement.

7. A facial authentication system utilizing a user'"'"'s mobile device, the mobile device comprising a camera and at least one movement detecting sensor, the authentication system comprising:
-
an authentication server comprising a processor, a memory, and at least one transceiver configured to transmit data from the authentication server and received data; one or more memories configured to store one or more databases, the one or more databases configured to store authentication information profiles; and machine readable instructions that are stored on the memory of the authentication server which when executed by the processor, cause the authentication server to; receive enrollment biometrics from the mobile device, the enrollment biometrics comprising facial recognition data processed from at least one first image of the user'"'"'s face obtained via the camera of the mobile device; store the enrollment biometrics in the one or more databases and associate the enrollment biometrics with the user authentication information profile; receive authentication biometrics from the mobile device during an authentication attempt by the user, the authentication biometrics comprising facial recognition data processed from at least one second image of the user'"'"'s face, the image obtained from the camera of the mobile device; receive authentication movement information from the mobile device, the authentication movement information comprising data regarding movement of the mobile device by the user as detected by the at least one movement detecting sensor in the mobile device; compare the authentication biometrics and the authentication movement information with the enrollment biometrics and expected movement information stored in the database with the user authentication information profile, wherein the expected movement is based on an anticipated path of the mobile device, due to movement of the mobile device by the user, to place the user'"'"'s face sequentially in a first display area and a second display area; and authenticate or not authenticate the user based on a comparison match rate of the authentication biometrics and the authentication movement with the enrollment biometrics and the expected movement. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A facial authentication system utilizing a user'"'"'s mobile device, the mobile device comprising a camera and at least one movement detecting sensor, the authentication system comprising:
-
a processor located in the mobile device configured to execute machine readable instructions; one or more memories in the mobile device storing authentication information; and non-transitory machine readable instructions, the machine readable instructions when executed by the processor cause the mobile device to; receive enrollment biometrics, the enrollment biometrics comprising facial recognition data processed from at least one first image of the user'"'"'s face obtained via the camera of the mobile device; store the enrollment biometrics in the memory of the mobile device and associate the enrollment biometrics with a user profile of the user; receive authentication biometrics from the mobile device during an authentication attempt by the user, the authentication biometrics comprising facial recognition data processed from at least one second image of the user'"'"'s face, the image obtained from the camera of the mobile device during the authentication attempt; receive authentication movement information from the mobile device, the authentication movement information comprising data generated during movement of the mobile device by the user during the authentication attempt as detected by the at least one movement detecting sensor in the mobile device; compare the authentication biometrics and the authentication movement information with the enrollment biometrics and expected movement information stored in the mobile device, wherein the expected movement information is based on an anticipated path of the mobile device to place the user'"'"'s face sequentially in a first display area and a second display area; and authenticate or not authenticate the user during the authentication attempt based on a comparison match rate of the authentication biometrics and the authentication movement information with the enrollment biometrics and the expected movement information. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
