Abstract
Systems and methods are described for enabling payment or access validation based on the state of a user. A user may initiate a transaction at a point-of-sale device by providing a biometric input. The user's affective state is determined based on the user's biometric input. If the probability that the user is under duress is above a threshold, a supplemental action is taken (e.g., denying the transaction, flagging the transaction for review, etc.).
Claims21
A method comprising:
- receiving, via a user interface at a point-of-sale device, a biometric input corresponding to a transaction;
- determining, based on the biometric input, a probability that a user initiated the transaction under duress;
- in response to determining that the probability is less than a threshold probability level, approving the transaction;
- and
- in response to determining that the probability is greater than or equal to the threshold probability level, initiating a supplemental action for the transaction.

A system comprising:
- input/output circuitry configured to:
- receive, via a user interface at a point-of-sale device, a biometric input corresponding to a transaction;
- and
- control circuitry configured to:
- determine, based on the biometric input, a probability that a user initiated the transaction under duress;
- in response to determining that the probability is less than a threshold probability level, approve the transaction;
- and
- in response to determining that the probability is greater than or equal to the threshold probability level, initiate a supplemental action for the transaction.
