Abstract
In one example in accordance with the present disclosure a method is described. According to the method, data associated with a variable data component is captured by a user computing device is received via a network. A user is authenticated by comparing biometric information for the user against a database of valid users. Responsive to an authentication of the user, role-based workflows are triggered. The role-based workflows are based on the biometric information for the user received from the user computing device and the data associated with the variable data component.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving via a network, data associated with a variable data component captured by a user computing device;
- authenticating the user by comparing biometric information for the user against a database of valid users;
- responsive to an authentication of the user, triggering a role-based workflow based on the biometric information for the user received from the user computing device and the data associated with the variable data component.
A computing device comprising:
- a receiving engine to receive via a network, data associated with a variable data component captured by a user computing device;
- a biometric authentication engine to authenticate the user relying on received biometric information for the user;
- and
- a workflow engine to, responsive to an authentication of the user, trigger a role-based workflow dependent upon information about the user received during authentication and independent of the user computing device.
A computing system comprising:
- a processor;
- a machine-readable storage medium coupled to the processor;
- and
- an instruction set stored in the machine-readable storage medium to be executed by the processor, wherein the instruction set comprises;
- instructions to receive via a network, data associated with a variable data component captured by a user computing device;
- instructions to, acquire biometric information relating to the user;
- instructions to, compare the biometric information against a database containing information for valid users to authenticate the user;
- and
- instructions to, responsive to an authentication of the user, trigger a role-based workflow dependent upon the biometric information received for the user and the data associated with the variable data component and independent of the user computing device.
