Abstract

Techniques generally directed to performing verification techniques with one or more wireless interfaces based on a provided pattern.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:
detecting, via a first short-range communication antenna of a mobile device, one or more communications with a contactless card based on the contactless card coming within communication range of the first short-range communication antenna of the mobile device; detecting, via a second short-range communication antenna of the mobile device, one or more different communications with the contactless card based on the contactless card coming within communication range of the second short-range communication antenna of the mobile device, wherein the first short-range communication antenna and the second short-range communication antenna are different antennas; determining, by a processor of the mobile device, a pattern in the one or more communication and the one or more different communications; determining, by the processor, that the pattern matches a verified pattern; and enabling, by the processor, an operation to execute in response to the pattern matching the verified pattern.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the pattern is based on a number of detections made by the first short-range communication antenna and the second short-range communication antenna.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the pattern is based on a sequence of detections made by the first short-range communication antenna and the second short-range communication antenna.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the pattern is based on timing between each of the detections made by the first short-range communication antenna and the second short-range communication antenna.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining whether the pattern matches the verified pattern is one factor of a multi-factor operation.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein a second factor is authenticating data of the contactless card, and the method comprising:
receiving, via the first short-range communication antenna or the second short-range communication antenna, data in at least one of the one or more communications detected by the first short-range communication antenna or the one or more communications detected by the second short-range communication antenna; and determining, by the processor, that the data matches verified data prior to enabling the performance of the operation.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining the data matches the verified data comprises:
sending, by the processor, the data to a server to perform the verification that the data matches verified data; and receiving, by the processor, a response indicating the data is verified.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the operation comprises one of accessing an application on the mobile device, logging into an account, auto-filling data in a field, launching an application on the mobile device, providing a verification to another device, providing a token to gain access to a door, or any combination thereof.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more communications detected by the first short-range communication antenna and the one or more communications detected by the second short-range communication antenna are near-field communications.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein each of the near-field communications comprise a successful read operation.

11 . An apparatus, comprising:
a first short-range communication antenna; a second short-range communication antenna; a memory configured to store instructions; and a processor coupled with the memory, the first short-range communication antenna, and the second short-range communication antenna, the processor configured to process the instructions, that when executed cause the processor to:
detect a pattern of communications received by the first short-range communication antenna, the second short-range communication antenna, or both;
determine the pattern matches a verified pattern to perform an operation; and
perform the operation based on the pattern matching the verified pattern.

12 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the pattern comprises at least one communication detected by the first short-range communication antenna and at least one communication detected by the second short-range communication antenna.

13 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the pattern is based on a timing between communications, a sequence of communications, a number of communications, or a combination thereof.

14 . The apparatus of claim 11 , wherein the pattern is one factor in a multi-factor verification and data within one or more of the communications is another factor in the multi-factor verification.

15 . The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to:
receive the data in the one or more communications; send the data to a server to perform the verification that the data matches verified data; and receive a response indicating the data is verified.

16 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
receive, by a first near-field communication (NFC) antenna, a second NFC antenna, or both, two or more communications from a contactless card; determine a pattern in the two or more communications; compare the pattern to a verified pattern; determine whether the pattern matches the verified pattern; in response to the pattern matching the verified pattern, enable an operation to be performed; and in response to the pattern not matching the verified pattern, prevent the operation from being performed.

17 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the pattern comprises at least one communication detected by the first NFC communication antenna and at least one communication detected by the second NFC communication antenna.

18 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the pattern is based on a timing between communications, a sequence of communications, a number of communications, or a combination thereof.

19 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the pattern is one factor in a multi-factor verification and data within one or more of the communications is another factor in the multi-factor verification.

20 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 16 , the processor to:
receive the data in the one or more communications; send the data to a server to perform the verification that the data matches verified data; and receive a response indicating the data is verified.
