Coded ocular lens for identification
One embodiment provides a method, including: obtaining, using an imaging device, user image data comprising an ocular lens having a code; and identifying, using a processor, a user based on the user image data. Other aspects are described and claimed.
1. A method, comprising:
obtaining, using an imaging device, user image data comprising an ocular lens being marked with a code, wherein the code corresponds to an identified user; and
identifying, from the user image data and using a processor, a user based on identifying the user corresponding to the code.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying one or more eyes within the user image data;
wherein the identifying comprises obtaining the code from an image area associated with the one or more eyes of the user.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising granting access to an electronic device based on the identifying.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining comprises transmitting light towards the user.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the light is of a predetermined wavelength.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the light is of a predetermined intensity.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises communicating the user image data to another device.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the identifying comprises receiving, from the another device, a user identification result.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving an association between the user and the code.
10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising storing the association between the user and the code.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the identifying comprises identifying the user based on the user image data and additional data selected from the group consisting of biometric data and user input data.
12. A system, comprising:
a storage device comprising a plurality of ocular lens codes, wherein each of the plurality of ocular lens codes correspond to a code marked on an ocular lens and are associated with a user;
a communication device that communicates data over a network; and
a processor that:
receives a request associated with at least one of the plurality of ocular lens codes, wherein the received request requests an identification of the user corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of ocular lens codes; and
responds to the request by communicating, over the network, an association between a user and the at least one of the plurality of ocular lens codes, wherein the association identifies the user corresponding to the at least one of the plurality of ocular lens codes.
