US 10,949,522 B2 · Authentication of user identity using a virtual reality device

Abstract

Embodiments can provide a computer implemented method in a computing system including a processor and a memory comprising instructions, which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a system for virtual reality user authentication, the method including responsive to a user request, generating, by a virtual reality system, a virtual reality authentication program splash screen based on at least one of a user profile and one or more real-life activities of the user; activating, by the virtual reality system, a virtual reality authentication module; prompting, through the virtual reality system, the user to perform one or more real-life tasks specific to the user involving motions using the virtual reality system; recording, through the virtual reality system, the motions using one or more sensors; and storing, using an authentication server, the motions of the at least one of the user as authentication requirements for accessing a virtual reality program.

Dependent claims

A computer implemented method performed in a computing system comprising a processor and a memory comprising instructions, which are executed by the processor to cause the processor to implement a system for virtual reality user authentication, the method comprising:

detecting, using one or more sensors, an electronic device;
determining, using the processor, that the electronic device is associated with a user;
obtaining, using the processor, a user profile based on the user associated with the electronic device;
presenting, based on the user profile, one or more program choices for user selection;
activating, based on the user selection, a virtual reality authentication module;
prompting, through a virtual reality system, the user to perform one or more real-life tasks specific to the user using the virtual reality system, wherein the task comprises sensor input indicative of actions and movements of the user's body;
recording, through the virtual reality system, the pattern of actions and movements of the user's body using the one or more sensors;
and
storing, using an authentication server, sensor input indicative of actions and movements of the user's body as authentication requirements for accessing a virtual reality program.

6 more elements

A computer program product for virtual reality user authentication, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

detect, using one or more sensors, an electronic device;
determine that the electronic device is associated with a user;
obtain a user profile based on the user associated with the electronic device;
present, based on the user profile, one or more program choices for user selection;
activate, based on the user selection, a virtual reality authentication module;
prompt, through a virtual reality system, the user to perform one or more real-life tasks specific to the user using the virtual reality system, wherein the task comprises sensor input indicative of actions and movements of the user's body;
record, through the virtual reality system, the pattern of actions and movements of the user's body using the one or more sensors;
and
store, using an authentication server, sensor input indicative of actions and movements of the user's body as authentication requirements for accessing a virtual reality program.

6 more elements

A system for virtual reality user authentication, comprising:

a virtual reality system, comprising a display and one or more sensors, configured to:
detect, using one or more sensors, an electronic device;
determine that the electronic device is associated with a user;
obtain a user profile based on the user associated with the electronic device;
present, based on the user profile, one or more program choices for user selection;
activate, based on the user selection, a virtual reality authentication module;
prompt the user to perform one or more real-life tasks specific to the user using the virtual reality system, wherein the task comprises sensor input indicative of actions and movements of the user's body;
record the pattern of actions and movements of the user's body using the one or more sensors;
and
store, using an authentication server, sensors input indicative of actions and movements of the user's body as authentication requirements for accessing a virtual reality program.
