System and method for eye tracking during authentication
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request to authenticate a user;
presenting a plurality of screen layouts to the user;
capturing a sequence of images which include the user'"'"'s eyes as the plurality of screen layouts are displayed;
(a) performing eye movement detection across the sequence of images to identify a correlation between motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the plurality of screen layouts are presented and an expected motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the plurality of screen layouts are presented and/or (b) measuring the user'"'"'s eye pupil size across the sequence of images to identify a correlation between the effective light intensity of the plurality of screen layouts presented to the user and its effect on the user'"'"'s eye pupil size;
performing facial recognition to identify a correlation between one or more images of the user'"'"'s face and facial template data associated with the user; and
generating an assurance level based on the correlation between the images of the user'"'"'s face and facial template data associated with the user, and the correlation between the motion of the user'"'"'s eyes and an expected motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the plurality of screen layouts are presented and/or the correlation between the effective light intensity of the plurality of screen layouts presented to the user and its effect on the user'"'"'s eye pupil size.

Abstract
A system, apparatus, method, and machine readable medium are described for performing eye tracking during authentication. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: receiving a request to authenticate a user; presenting one or more screen layouts to the user; capturing a sequence of images which include the user'"'"'s eyes as the one or more screen layouts are displayed; and (a) performing eye movement detection across the sequence of images to identify a correlation between motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the one or more screen layouts are presented and an expected motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the one or more screen layouts are presented and/or (b) measuring the eye'"'"'s pupil size to identify a correlation between the effective light intensity of the screen and its effect on the user'"'"'s eye pupil size.

14. An apparatus comprising:
-
an authentication engine receiving a request to authenticate a user; a camera capturing a sequence of images which include the user'"'"'s eyes as a plurality of screen layouts are displayed; an eye tracking hardware module (a) performing eye movement detection across the sequence of images to identify a correlation between motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the plurality of screen layouts are presented and an expected motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the plurality of screen layouts are presented and/or (b) measuring the user'"'"'s eye pupil size across the sequence of images to identify a correlation between the effective light intensity of the plurality of screen layouts presented to the user and its effect on the user'"'"'s eye pupil size; a facial recognition device to perform facial recognition to identify a correlation between one or more images of the user'"'"'s face and facial template data associated with the user; and the authentication engine generating an assurance level based on the correlation between the images of the user'"'"'s face and facial template data associated with the user, and the correlation between the motion of the user'"'"'s eyes and an expected motion of the user'"'"'s eyes as the plurality of screen layouts are presented and/or the correlation between the effective light intensity of the plurality of screen layouts presented to the user and its effect on the user'"'"'s eye pupil size. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
