Abstract

A system and method of security for emoji based actions. The system and method may include processes such as obtaining a first text associated with an emoji image and a second text, determining to implement a security measure based at least in part on the first text associated with the emoji image, and determining a security level based at least in part on the second text.

Claims

1. A security system for emoji based commands, comprising:

a non-transitory memory storing instructions; and

one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read the instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the system to perform operations comprising;

obtaining a first text associated with an emoji image and a second text;

determining a security measure based at least in part on the first text associated with the emoji image; and

determining a security level based at least in part on the second text and a plurality of historic messages.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the security level depends at least in part on a number in the second text and a routine determined from the plurality of historic messages.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein the plurality of historic messages is associated with a sender identifier associated with the first text and the second text.

4. The system of claim 3, wherein the plurality of historic messages is associated with a receiver identifier associated with the first text and the second text.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the security level depends at least in part on a connection between a first social media account of a sender of the first text and the second text and a second social media account of a recipient of the first text and the second text.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the operations further comprises:

implementing an authentication procedure based at least in part on the security level, wherein the authentication procedure comprises;

sending an authentication request to a sender of the first text and the second text;

receiving an indication that the authentication request has been viewed; and

setting a cancelation time window based at least in part on the indication.

7. The system of claim 6, wherein a command associated with the message is canceled when the indication is not received after a predetermined amount of time.

8. A non-transitory machine readable medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions executable to cause a machine to perform operations comprising:

identifying from a message a first text associated with an emoji image, a second text, and a sender identifier;

determining, based at least in part on the first text and the second text, a command;

determining a security measure associated with the command; and

implementing the security measure.

9. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein the security measure comprises:

sending an authentication request based at least in part on the sender identifier;

determining that the authentication request has been viewed; and

setting a cancelation expiration time based at least in part on determining that the authentication request has been viewed.

10. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 9, wherein the authentication request is a private message to a sender associated with the sender identifier.

11. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 10, wherein the message is publicly viewable.

12. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 9, wherein the operations further comprise executing the command in response to an expiration of the cancelation expiration time.

13. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein implementing the security measure comprises:

sending an authentication request based at least in part on the sender identifier;

determining that the authentication request has not been viewed within a predetermined amount of time; and

canceling the command in response to determining that the authentication request has not been viewed.

14. The non-transitory machine readable medium of claim 8, wherein determining the security measure is based at least in part on determining that an amount of transfer determined from the second text is over a threshold value.

15. A computer implemented method of a security system for emoji based commands, the method comprising:

receiving a message comprising a first text associated with an emoji image and a second text;

determining a command based at least in part on the first text and the second text; and

selecting a first security measure from a plurality of security measures based at least in part on the command and a value determined from the second text.

16. The method of claim 15, wherein the first security measure comprises a login request;

and

wherein the first security measure is selected based at least in part on determining that a first social media account associated with a sender of the message is not connected to a second social media account associated with a recipient of the message.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the recipient of the message is determined based at least in part on the second text.

18. The method of claim 15, wherein the first security measure comprises sending a message to a sender of the message requesting a confirmation;

and

wherein the first security measure is selected based at least in part on determining that a first social media account associated with the sender of the message is connected to a second social media account associated with a recipient of the message.

19. The method of claim 15, wherein the first security measure comprises a timing window for receiving the confirmation.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the command is executed in response to the timing window expiring.
