Abstract

Computer systems and methods are provided for transmitting authorization information to an image capturing device. A computing system receives, from an image capturing device, captured image data that includes a first facial image and an image of a document that includes a second facial image. The first facial image and the second facial image are included a single image frame. The captured image data is analyzed to determine a first portion of the captured image data that corresponds to the first facial image and a second portion of the captured image data that corresponds to the second facial image. The first portion of the captured image data is compared with the second portion of the captured image data. In accordance with a determination that the first facial image and the second facial image meet matching criteria, authorization information is transmitted to the image capturing device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
at a computing system including one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs configured for execution by the one or more processors:
receiving, from an image capturing device, a single captured image that includes:
a first facial image of a user,
an image of a document that includes a second facial image, and
a third facial image captured at a first time that is different from a second time at which at least one other facial image is captured;
wherein the first facial image and the image of the document that includes the second facial image are included in a single image frame;

analyzing the single captured image to determine:
a first portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the first facial image, and
a second portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the second facial image;

determining whether the first facial image and the second facial image meet matching criteria by comparing the first portion of the single captured image with the second portion of the single captured image;
determining that a facial feature of the third facial image and a corresponding facial feature of the at least one other facial image meet movement criteria by comparing the facial feature of the third facial image with the corresponding facial feature of the at least one other facial image;
in accordance with a determination that the first facial image and the second facial image meet the matching criteria and in accordance with a determination that the facial feature of the third facial image and the corresponding facial feature of the at least one other facial image meet the movement criteria, transmitting authorization information to the image capturing device that includes an indication that the movement criteria are met; and
in accordance with a determination that the first facial image and the second facial image do not meet the matching criteria, transmitting, to the image capturing device, a facial position adjustment request.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single captured image includes a still image.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the single captured image includes a video stream.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the single captured image to determine the first portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the first facial image includes determining, in a plurality of image frames, a respective portion of a respective image frame that corresponds to the first facial image.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein analyzing the single captured image to determine the first portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the first facial image includes generating the first portion by compositing a plurality of respective portions of respective image frames from the plurality of image frames that correspond to the first facial image.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein analyzing the single captured image to determine the first portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the first facial image includes selecting, using the second portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the second facial image, a respective portion of a respective image frame that corresponds to the first facial image.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the image of the document that includes the second facial image includes facial image location cue information; and
determining the second portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the second facial image includes determining a location of the facial image location cue information.

8. The method of claim 1 , including:
after analyzing the single captured image to determine the first portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the first facial image and the second portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the second facial image:
analyzing the first portion of the single captured image to determine a first facial position;
analyzing the second portion of the single captured image to determine a second facial position;
determining whether facial position matching criteria are met by comparing the first facial position with the second facial position;
in accordance with a determination that facial position matching criteria are not met, transmitting, to the image capturing device, a facial position matching request; and
in accordance with a determination that facial position matching criteria are met, forgoing transmitting, to the image capturing device, the facial position matching request.

9. The method of claim 1 , including:
after analyzing the single captured image to determine the first portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the first facial image and the second portion of the single captured image that corresponds to the second facial image:
analyzing the second portion of the single captured image to determine a second facial position;
determining whether the second facial position meets facial position criteria that correspond to the document;
in accordance with a determination that the facial position criteria that correspond to the document are not met, transmitting, to the image capturing device, the facial position adjustment request; and
in accordance with a determination that the facial position criteria that correspond to the document are met, forgoing transmitting, to the image capturing device, the facial position adjustment request.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the first facial image and the second facial image meet matching criteria includes at least one of:
comparing the first portion of the single captured image with image data that corresponds to a stored facial image; or
comparing the second portion of the single captured image with image data that corresponds to the stored facial image.

11. The method of claim 1 , including, in accordance with a determination that the first facial image and the second facial image do not meet the matching criteria, transmitting authorization denial information to the image capturing device.

12. The method of claim 1 , including:
prior to receiving the single captured image that includes the first facial image and the image of the document that includes the second facial image:
receiving an authorization request from the image capturing device via a first network;
determining whether the first network meets image validation criteria;
in accordance with a determination that the first network meets the image validation criteria, transmitting a request for the single captured image that includes the first facial image and the image of the document that includes the second facial image; and
in accordance with a determination that the first network does not meet the image validation criteria, forgoing transmitting the request for the single captured image that includes the first facial image and the image of the document that includes the second facial image.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein determining whether the first network meets image validation criteria includes accessing a stored value to determine whether a previous authorization of a received request occurred.

14. The method of claim 12 , including: in accordance with a determination that the first network does not meet the image validation criteria, transmitting a request for alternative authentication data.

15. The method of claim 12 , including,
receiving an authorization request from the image capturing device via a second network; and
in response to receiving the authorization request fr
