Abstract
A method is disclosed. The method includes obtaining a biometric match score from a device that is used to conduct an interaction at a location and then receiving additional data associated with the device or the location. The method also includes determining, by the computer, an expected match score function based upon at least the additional data, and comparing the biometric match score to the expected match score function. The method also includes determining if the interaction is to proceed based on at least the comparing.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- obtaining, by a computer, a biometric match score from a device that is used to conduct an interaction at a location, wherein the computer and the device are separate devices;
- receiving, by the computer, additional data associated with the device or the location;
- determining, by the computer, an expected match score function based upon at least the additional data, wherein the additional data comprises environmental data pertaining to an environment at the location, and wherein the expected match score function is a function that provides match scores based upon the environmental data comprising temperature and/or humidity data;
- comparing, by the computer, the biometric match score to the expected match score function;
- and
- determining, by the computer, if the interaction is to proceed based on at least the comparing.
A computer comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer readable medium coupled to the processor for implementing a method comprising:
- obtaining, by the computer, a biometric match score from a device that is used to conduct an interaction at a location, wherein the computer and the device are separate devices;
- receiving additional data associated with the device or the location;
- determining an expected match score function based upon at least the additional data, wherein the additional data comprises environmental data pertaining to an environment at the location, and wherein the expected match score function is a function that provides match scores based upon the environmental data comprising temperature and/or humidity data;
- comparing, by the computer, the biometric match score to the expected match score function;
- and
- determining, by the computer, if the interaction is to proceed based on at least the comparing.
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a device, a biometric sample from a user;
- determining, by the device, a biometric match score;
- and
- transmitting, by the device, the biometric match score to a processing computer in an interaction, wherein the processing computer is separate from the device, and determines an expected match score function based upon at least additional data associated with the device or a location of the device, compares the biometric match score to the expected match score function, and determines if the interaction is to proceed based on at least the comparing, wherein the additional data comprises environmental data comprising temperature and/or humidity data pertaining to an environment at the location, and wherein the expected match score function is a function that provides match scores based upon the environmental data.
