Abstract
An example transaction card may include a sensor to measure movement of the transaction card and one or more processors to monitor the movement of the transaction card via the sensor during a tracking period; determine measurements of a gait of a user during the tracking period from the movement of the transaction card during the tracking period; compare the measurements of the gait of the user during the tracking period and a gait signature associated with the transaction card; and/or perform an action associated with the transaction card based on a result of comparing the measurements of the gait of the user during the tracking period and the gait signature.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:
- receive, from a physical transaction card, first values of a gait of a user during a tracking period,
- wherein the first values are based on information from a sensor of the physical transaction card;
- compare the first values and second values of a plurality of gait signatures associated with a plurality of authorized users;
- determine that the user is an unauthorized user based on the first values not satisfying a threshold variation of any of second values;
- and
- disable a particular function of the physical transaction card that enables access to a secure area based on the user being an unauthorized user.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:
- one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:
- receive, from a physical transaction card, first values of a gait of a user during a tracking period,
- wherein the first values are based on information from a sensor of the physical transaction card;
- compare the first values and second values of a plurality of gait signatures associated with a plurality of authorized users;
- determine that the user is an unauthorized user based on the first values not satisfying a threshold variation of any of the second values;
- and
- disable a particular function of the physical transaction card that enables access to a secure area based on the user being an unauthorized user.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a device and from a physical transaction card, first values of a gait of a user during a tracking period,
- wherein the first values are based on information from a sensor of the physical transaction card;
- comparing, by the device, the first values and second values of a plurality of gait signatures associated with a plurality of authorized users;
- determining, by the device, that the user is an unauthorized user based on the first values not satisfying a threshold variation of any of the second values;
- and
- disabling, by the device, a particular function of the physical transaction card that enables access to a secure area based on determining that the user is an unauthorized user.
