[0071] Provided herein per FIGS. 4-6 is a method for detecting spoofing of biometric identity recognition using the camera of a mobile device. In some embodiments, the method comprises: recording, by the camera of the mobile device, a first image of a face of a user; generating a first data representation 401A of the face of the user from the first image; forming 403 a predictive model 402A from the first data representation 401A; recording, by the camera of the mobile device, a second image of the face of the user; generating a second data representation 401B of the face of the user from the second image; and determining 404 if the second data representation 401B matches the predictive model 402A.

[0072] The first image of the face of the user may be captured when the camera is a first distance from the user. The second image of the face of the user may be captured when the camera is a second distance from the user. The first distance may be greater than the second distance. The second distance can be greater than the first distance. The first distance may be greater than the second distance by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or more, including increments therein. The second distance may be greater than the first distance by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or more, including increments therein. At least one of the first distance and the second distance may be measured as a minimal distance to the face of the user, a normal distance to the face of the user, a minimal distance to the nose of the user, or a normal distance to the nose of the user.

[0073] The first image of the face of the user may be captured when the camera is at a first orientation relative to the user. The second image of the face of the user may be captured when the camera is at a second orientation relative to the user. The first orientation may comprise a first pitch angle, a first yaw angle, a first roll angle, or any combination thereof, with respect to the user. The second orientation may comprise a second pitch angle, a second yaw angle, a second roll angle, or any combination thereof, with respect to the user. The first pitch angle, the second pitch angle, or both may be measured about an axis parallel to the ground and parallel to a forward direction of the user. The first yaw angle, the second yaw angle, or both may be measured about an axis perpendicular to the ground. The first roll angle, the second roll angle, or both may be measured about an axis parallel to the ground and perpendicular to a forward direction of the user. . At least one of the first pitch angle, the first yaw angle, and the first roll angle may be greater than one or more of the second pitch angle, the second yaw angle, and the second roll angle. At least one of the first pitch angle, the first yaw angle, and the first roll angle may be greater than one or more of the second pitch angle, the second yaw angle, and the second roll angle by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or more, including increments therein. At least one of the second pitch angle, the second yaw angle, and the second roll angle may be greater than one or more of the first pitch angle, the first yaw angle, and the first roll angle. At least one of the second pitch angle, the second yaw angle, and the second roll angle may be greater than one or more of the first pitch angle, the first yaw angle, and the first roll angle by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40%, 45%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, or more, including increments therein.

[0074] Determining 404 if the second data representation 401B matches the predictive model 402A can be performed by comparing the second data representation 401B to the predictive model 402A. If the second data representation 401B does not match the predictive model 402A an identity match of the user can be rejected. An identity match that is rejected can indicate a spoofing attempt. If the second data representation 401B does match the predictive model 402A an identity match of the user can be confirmed. An identity match that is confirm can indicate a lack of a spoofing attempt.

[0075] Additionally or alternatively, the method may further comprise capturing a third image of the face of the user, generating a third data representation 401C of the face of the user from the third image, and determining 404 if the third data representation 401C matches the predictive model 402A. Additionally or alternatively, if the second data representation 401B does not match the predictive model 402A the method may further comprise capturing a third image of the face of the user, generating a third data representation 401C of the face of the user from the third image, and determining 404 if the third data representation 401C matches the predictive model 402A.

[0076] Additionally, or alternatively, if the second data representation 401B does not match the predictive model 402A the method may further comprise accepting an input provided by the user matches an additional data associated with the user. Additionally, or alternatively, if the third data representation 401C does not match the predictive model 402A the method may further comprise accepting an input provided by the user matches an additional data associated with the user.

[0077] The method may further comprise capturing a motion data of the user, a location data of the user, or both. In such cases, the method may further comprise accepting the user if the motion data of the user is within a predetermined range from a set motion, accepting the user if the location data of the user is within a predetermined range from a set location, or both. In such cases, the method may further comprise rejecting the user if the motion data of the user is not within a predetermined range from a set motion, rejecting the user if the location data of the user is not within a predetermined range from a set location, or both. [0078] The user may capture the first image, the second image, the third image, or any combination thereof via a guided user interface on the mobile device.

[0079] Validating the identity recognition match may be performed if the second data representation 401B matches the predictive model 402A generated from the first data representation 401A and/or if the motion and/or location data match the expected motion and/or location data attributing to the position of the mobile device to the user’s face. Said position can change with movement of the mobile device and/or the movement of the user’s face between the time of recording of the first data representation 401A and the time of recording of the second data representation 401B.

[0080] Additionally, or alternatively, if the second data representation 401B does not match the predictive model 402A, the method may further comprise accepting an additional data provided by the user, and determining 404 if the additional data matches an additional data associated with the user. Additionally, or alternatively, if the third data representation 401C does not match the predictive model 402A, the method may further comprise accepting an additional data provided by the user, and determining 404 if the additional data matches an additional data associated with the user.

A repetitive sequence of the motion the location data or both may be recorded at a set repetition interval sequence of the motion the location data or both may begin at the time of the recording of the first image, at the time of the recording of the first image, or both. The set repetition interval may be 0.1 seconds, 0.5 seconds, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, or more, including increments therein.

Predictive Model

[0088] In some cases, the predictive model is generated from the first data representation. In some cases, the predictive model is generated from the second data representation. In some cases, the predictive model is generated from the first data representation and the second data representation.

[0089] The predictive model may be generated by a machine learning algorithm, an image analysis algorithm, a deep learning algorithm, or any combination thereof. At least one of the machine learning algorithm, the image analysis algorithm, or the deep learning algorithm, may be trained using a plurality of user images. At least one of the machine learning algorithm, the image analysis algorithm, or the deep learning algorithm, may be trained using a plurality of user images and a plurality of spoofed user images. The user images may comprise public user images. The predictive model can be trained on both real data collected from users and/or synthetic data generated by image rendering or other techniques of image data representation known in the art. [0090] The predictive model may be formed from the first data representation and at least one of the location data and the motion data.

[0091] Motion and/or location data is recorded continuously, or at a plurality of intervals, between the time of recording of the first data representation and the time of recording of the second data representation.

Matching Architecture

[0092] The configuration of the predictive modeling architecture may comprise: (a) a predictive modeling architecture derived from a given data set or data representation set to generate and match another data or data representation; or (b) a predictive modeling architecture derived from more than one captured data or data representations to generate multiple predictions that match multiple other data or data representations. In either architecture, a plurality of data sets can be used for predictive modeling to match matching data or data representations.

[0093] Alternatively, or additionally the configuration of the predictive modeling architecture may comprise: (a) a comparison between a predictive model generated from a first data representation and a predictive model generated from a second data representation; or (b) a comparison of a predictive model generated from a second data representation with a predictive model generated from a first data representation. In either architecture changes between successive matching exercises, or changes between certain successive matching exercise and not others, may be randomized between matching exercises, In either architecture changes between successive matching exercises, or changes between certain successive matching exercise and not others, may be based on non-randomized determinate data or protocols, or which may not change.

[0094] The configuration of the predictive modeling architecture can be optimized based on security level and speed of execution. For example, the predictive modeling architecture can be optimized based on data consumption, file sizes, processing steps, or any combination thereof. Such architecture characteristics can change the speed of execution depending on associated security specifications.

Additional Data Representations

[0095] The method may further comprise comparing additional data to a data submitted by the user to the mobile device. The additional data may comprise a name, a password, an identity number, an address, a geo-location, a device ID, unique data characteristic of the user’s software environment on the mobile device, a biometric data, a predictive biometric data, or any combination thereof. [0096] Additionally, or alternatively, if the second data representation does not match the predictive model the method may further comprise accepting an input provided by the user matches an additional data associated with the user. Additionally, or alternatively, if the third data representation does not match the predictive model the method may further comprise accepting an input provided by the user matches an additional data associated with the user.
