US 11,962,602 B2 · Physical environment based account authentication

Abstract

Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described herein for improving computer authentication processes by using physical environment information. A computing device may receive video depicting a physical environment and process that video to identify one or more first objects. The computing device may receive a request for access to an account. The computing device may send a prompt for a physical environment description and receive, in response, an indication of one or more second objects. The indication of the one or more second objects may comprise video of the physical environment, a verbal description of the physical environment, and/or text describing the physical environment. The computing device may grant the user device access to the account based on comparing the one or more first objects to the one or more second objects.

Dependent claims

A computing device comprising:

one or more processors;
and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors of the computing device, cause the computing device to:
receive video depicting a physical environment;
process the video to identify one or more first objects in the physical environment;
receive, from a user device, a request for access to an account associated with a user;
send, to the user device, a prompt for a physical environment description;
receive, from the user device and in response to the prompt, an indication of one or more second objects by:
receiving, via the user device, data comprising audio data associated with the user verbally describing the physical environment;
and
processing, using one or more speech recognition algorithms, the audio data to identify the one or more second objects;
and
grant the user device access to the account based on comparing the one or more first objects to the one or more second objects.

10 more elements

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

receive video depicting a physical environment;
process the video to identify one or more first objects in the physical environment;
receive, from a user device, a request for access to an account associated with a user;
send, to the user device, a prompt for a physical environment description;
receive, from the user device and in response to the prompt, an indication of one or more second objects by:
receiving, via the user device, data comprising audio data associated with the user verbally describing the physical environment;
and
processing, using one or more speech recognition algorithms, the audio data to identify the one or more second objects;
and
grant the user device access to the account based on comparing the one or more first objects to the one or more second objects.
