Abstract
A system includes a machine-readable storage medium, a processor in communication with the machine-readable storage medium, communication circuitry in communication with the processor; and a plurality of sensors in communication with the processor. Each of the plurality of sensors is configured to generate an electrical signal in response to receiving wave energy. The processor is configured to control data acquisition for authenticating an object using at least a subset of the plurality of sensors, calculate an authentication value based on signals received from the subset of the plurality of sensors, and cause the communication circuitry to transmit an authentication request including the authentication value to an authentication entity.
Claims18
A system, comprising:
- a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium;
- communication circuitry;
- a plurality of sensors;
- and
- a processor in signal communication with the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, the communication circuitry, and each of the plurality of sensors, the processor configured to:
- acquire data concerning one or more characteristics of an object from one or more of the plurality of sensors in response to a user input,
- calculate an authentication value for the object based on the data acquired from the one or more of the plurality of sensors and based on a number of sensors used to acquire the data concerning the one or more characteristics of the object, the authentication value for the object for use in determining whether the object is an authentic real thing, and
- cause the communication circuitry to transmit an authentication request to an authentication entity.
A method, comprising:
- acquiring data concerning one or more characteristics of an object from one or more of a plurality of sensors;
- calculating an authentication value for the object based on the data acquired from the one or more of the plurality of sensors and based on a number of sensors used to acquire the data concerning one or more characteristics of the object, the authentication value for the object for use in determining whether the object is an authentic real thing;
- and
- causing communication circuitry to transmit an authentication request to an authentication entity over a network.
