Abstract
A method of generating irrefutable evidence of registration that cannot be repudiated by the registrant for a network-based application is described. The method initiates an image capture session to capture a plurality of images of an individual user. The method, during the image capture session, provides a sequence of tasks to be performed by the individual user in order to validate the image capture session in capturing an image of a person participating in a real-time event.
Claims20
A method of performing an image capture session to generate verifiable evidence that a user is participating in a real-time event, the method comprising:
- initiating an image capture session to capture a plurality of images of the user;
- during the image capture session, generating a sequence of tasks to be performed by the user, said generating comprising randomly selecting a set of user-specific tasks from a plurality of tasks stored in a database;
- presenting the sequence of tasks to be performed to the user;
- and
- storing the plurality of images of the user performing the sequence of tasks and a description of the sequence of tasks as evidence that the user is participating in a real-time event.
A method for validating a user registration for a network-based application, the method comprising:
- providing a validation procedures director for:
- i) initiating an image capture operation to capture a plurality of images of a user as a registrant;
- and
- ii) specifying a set of registration tasks to be performed by the user during an interview session, the set of registration tasks selected in order to validate that the image capture session is capturing an image of a person participating in a real-time event;
- and
- providing a validation module for validating the user registration by:
- i) examining the plurality of images using automated facial recognition to determine whether the plurality of images includes recognizable images of the user;
- and
- ii) analyzing the plurality of images to determine whether the plurality of images indicates the performance of the set of registration tasks.
