Application: Authenticating a card based on card movement (Patent ID: US20230419324A1)

The patent filed by Capital One Financial Corp. focuses on user authentication and fraud detection at a card reader by capturing and analyzing card movement data. The disclosed method involves sensing the movement of a card near a card reader, capturing the movement data, comparing it to pre-stored data of the card owner, and authenticating the user if the comparison meets a predetermined threshold. The system includes a sensor, correlator, and authenticator to validate the user based on the card movement data, allowing a financial transaction to proceed. The method also considers physical contact between the card and the reader, uses Fourier transform for data comparison, and incorporates machine learning models for accuracy.

Furthermore, the patent describes the use of sensors embedded within the card, such as accelerometers or 9-axis sensors, to capture movement data. It also includes features like detecting waving motions of the card, setting flags for card presence, and adjusting the comparison threshold based on transaction specifics. The system utilizes edge computing on IoT devices and machine learning models to enhance the accuracy of matching card movement data with pre-stored data. Additionally, the method allows for customization of the authentication process based on the type, amount, or timing of the financial transaction, ensuring a secure and efficient user verification process.
