User identity authentication based on supplemental environment data
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11995167B2) outlines a method and system for authenticating user identity based on supplemental environment data. The method involves receiving sensor data from an environment, parsing the data to identify user identifiers with confidence scores, retrieving supplemental environment data to indirectly verify the user's presence, and authenticating the user based on this information. The system includes a hardware processor to perform these functions, including extracting identifiers such as facial images, voice clips, and biometrics from sensor data to enhance authentication accuracy. Additionally, the system can intercept data access requests, generate a chain of events to verify user access, and grant or block data access based on the deviation from a target chain of events.
Furthermore, the patent describes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for authenticating user identity based on a chain of events. These instructions include parsing sensor data, retrieving supplemental environment data, and authenticating user identifiers. The medium also includes instructions for intercepting data access requests, generating event chains, and verifying user access based on the deviation from a target chain of events. Overall, the patent presents a comprehensive approach to user authentication using a combination of sensor data, supplemental environment data, and event chains to ensure secure access to data via computing devices.
