Abstract

Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for verifying a user identity in a video conference. A computing device may receive user data and a plurality of security parameters associated with accessing a video conference based on a confidentiality level of the video conference. The computing device may generate a security code that is encoded with user data. The computing device might cause the security code to be displayed on the mobile device for a predetermined time period. The computing device may receive an indication that the first device scanned the security code by using a camera. To verify the identity of a user, the computing device may decode the security code, compare the decoded user data of the decoded security code and expected user data associated with the video conference. The computing device may determine the authenticity of a user video and allow access to the video conference.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A method comprising:

receiving, by a computing device, from a first device, and based on a confidentiality level of a video conference, a plurality of security parameters associated with accessing the video conference;
receiving, by a computing device and from a mobile device, user data;
generating, by the computing device and based on the plurality of security parameters, a security code that is encoded with user data;
causing, by the computing device, the mobile device to display the security code for a predetermined time period;
receiving, by the computing device, an indication that the first device scanned the security code by using a camera of the first device, wherein the indication comprises the security code that is encoded with the user data;
verifying, by the computing device, an identity of a user by:
decoding the security code;
comparing decoded user data of the decoded security code and expected user data associated with the video conference; and determining, based on the decoded user data and the plurality of security parameters, an authenticity of a user video; and

allowing, by the computing device and based on the verifying the identity of the user, access to the video conference.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the user data comprises:
at least one of:
geolocation data,
biometric data,
employment status,
time information,
image data,
a background color, or
audio data.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein causing display of the security code further comprises:
an automatic adjustment of display brightness; and wherein the security code comprises at least one of: a visually transmitted code, a one-dimensional bar code, or a two-dimensional bar code comprising at least one of: a Quick Response (QR) code, DotCode, PDF417, MaxiCode, Data Matrix Code, Frame QR Code, Secret Function Equipped QR Code (SQRC), rMQR Code, Micro QR Code, or a unique identifier (UID).

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device is configured to execute a video conference application, wherein the video conference application is configured to use the camera to scan and process the security code.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the confidentiality level of the video conference proportionately corresponds to an amount of the plurality of security parameters that must be met in order for the user to access the video conference and is predetermined by a host of the video conference.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the verifying further comprises an audio pairing between the first device and the mobile device, wherein the audio pairing is temporally activated at:
randomly generated frequencies; or predetermined frequencies based on the confidentiality level of the video conference.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprises encoding, by the computing device, a relative background of the video conference with anti-piracy video streaming data.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises:
an ATM machine comprising the camera; or a Kiosk comprising the camera.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprises:
rejecting, based on a determination that the identity of a user is not verified, access to the video conference.

10 . A computing device comprising:
one or more processors; and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to:
receive, from a first device, and based on a confidentiality level of a video conference, a plurality of security parameters associated with accessing the video conference;
receive, from a mobile device, user data;
generate, based on the plurality of security parameters, a security code that is encoded with user data;
cause, the mobile device to display the security code for a predetermined time period;
receive, an indication that the first device scanned the security code by using a camera of the first device, wherein the indication comprises the security code that is encoded with the user data;
verify an identity of a user by:
decoding the security code;
comparing decoded user data of the decoded security code and expected user data associated with the video conference; and
determining, based on the decoded user data and the plurality of security parameters, an authenticity of a user video; and
allow, based on a verified identity of the user, access to the video conference.

11 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the user data comprises at least one of:
geolocation data, biometric data, employment status, time information, image data, a background color, or audio data.

12 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to further cause display of the security code comprising:
an automatic adjustment of display brightness; and wherein the security code comprises at least one of: a visually transmitted code, a one-dimensional bar code, or a two-dimensional bar code comprising at least one of: a Quick Response (QR) code, DotCode, PDF417, MaxiCode, Data Matrix Code, Frame QR Code, Secret Function Equipped QR Code (SQRC), rMQR Code, Micro QR Code, or a unique identifier (UID).

13 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the first device is configured to execute a video conference application, wherein the video conference application is configured to use the camera to scan and process the security code.

14 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the confidentiality level of the video conference proportionately corresponds to an amount of the plurality of security parameters that must be met in order for the user to access the video conference and is predetermined by a host of the video conference.

15 . The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the computing device to further verify comprising an audio pairing between the first device and the mobile device, wherein the audio pairing is temporally activated at:
randomly generated frequencies; or predetermined frequencies based on the confidentiality level of the video conference.

16 . One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
receive, from a first device, and based on a confidentiality level of a video conference, a plurality of security parameters associated with accessing the video conference; receive, from a mobile device, user data; generate, based on the plurality of security parameters, a security code that is encoded with user data; cause, the mobile device to display the security code for a predetermined time period; receive, an indication that the first device scanned the security code by using a camera of the first device, wherein the indication comprises the security code that is encoded with the user data; verify an identity of a user by:
decoding the security code;
comparing decoded user data of the decoded security code and expected user data associated with the video conference; and
determining, based on the decoded user data and the plurality of security parameters, an authenticity of a user video; and
allow, based on a verified identity of the user, access to the video conference.
