Facial capture managing access to resources by a device
First Claim
1. A method for determining whether opening an application on a mobile computing device requires facial recognition, comprising:
- receiving a request to open the application;
determining, based on the application being opened, whether the application requires execution of a facial recognition algorithm prior to opening the application;
when the application requires execution of the facial recognition algorithm, activating a camera on the mobile computing device to obtain one or more images;
authorizing the user to access the application being opened when the facial recognition algorithm confirms the identity of the user;
storing a record that includes a certificate reflecting the authorization of the user to access the application;
after authorizing the user, activating the camera and executing the facial recognition algorithm to perform a subsequent authorization;
if the user fails the subsequent authorization, terminating the application and modifying the record to reflect the subsequent authorization failure; and
determining that the modified record triggers a remedial action comprising at least one of;
remotely disabling the application, and remotely wiping the application from the mobile computing device.

Abstract
Disclosed are various embodiments for controlling access to resources by a client device. Methods may include receiving a user request to access a resource on the device and determining whether the resource requires a facial capture. If the resource requires a facial capture, a camera of the device may be automatically activated to capture an image and the resource may be rendered on the device. In some cases, access to the resource may be limited based on whether the image includes a face or not. A record associating the image and the requested resource may be stored, for example, on the device or on a remote server.

8. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instruction which, when executed by a processor, determine whether opening an application on a mobile computing device requires facial recognition by:
-
receiving a request to open the application; determining, based on the application being opened, whether the application requires execution of a facial recognition algorithm prior to opening the application; when the application requires execution of the facial recognition algorithm, activating a camera on the mobile computing device to obtain one or more images; authorizing the user to access the application being opened when the facial recognition algorithm confirms the identity of the user; storing a record that includes a certificate reflecting the authorization of the user to access the application; after authorizing the user, activating the camera and executing the facial recognition algorithm to perform a subsequent authorization; if the user fails the subsequent authorization, terminating the application and modifying the record to reflect the subsequent authorization failure; and determining that the modified record triggers a remedial action comprising at least one of;
remotely disabling the application, and remotely wiping the application from the mobile computing device. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for determining whether opening an application requires facial recognition, comprising:
a mobile computing device comprising a processor and a memory, the processor and the memory being configured to; receive a request to open the application; determine, based on the application being opened, whether the application requires execution of a facial recognition algorithm prior to opening the application; when the application requires execution of the facial recognition algorithm, activate a camera on the mobile computing device to obtain one or more images; authorize the user to access the application being opened when the facial recognition algorithm confirms the identity of the user; store a record that includes a certificate reflecting the authorization of the user to access the application; after authorizing the user, activate the camera and execute the facial recognition algorithm to perform a subsequent authorization; if the user fails the subsequent authorization, terminate the application and modifying the record to reflect the subsequent authorization failure; and determine that the modified record triggers a remedial action comprising at least one of;
remotely disabling the application, and remotely wiping the application from the mobile computing device.- View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
