Abstract

Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for identity authentication. An exemplary method may include obtaining biometric information for authentication collected by a terminal, and identity information sent by the terminal. The method may also include obtaining prestored biometric information corresponding to the identity information. The method may further include determining whether the biometric information for authentication matches the prestored biometric information. If yes, the method may include determining that the identity authentication is successful. Otherwise the method may include determining that the identity authentication is not successful.

Claims (56)

1. A method performed by one or more processors of an apparatus for identity authentication, the method comprising:

obtaining an image collected by a terminal, wherein the image includes a first image and a second image;

obtaining, from the image, biometric information for authentication in a first preset region on the image, and identity information in a second preset region on the image, wherein the biometric information for authentication includes facial feature information for authentication;

recognizing the biometric information for authentication in the image by recognizing first facial feature information for authentication in the first image, and recognizing second facial feature information for authentication in the second image; obtaining prestored biometric information corresponding to the identity information, wherein the prestored biometric information includes prestored facial feature information;

determining that the first facial feature information for authentication includes first specified feature information;

determining that the second facial feature information for authentication includes second specified feature information, wherein the first specified feature information and the second specified feature information include expressive feature information and are different;

determining whether the biometric information for authentication matches the prestored biometric information; and

responsive to the determination that the biometric information for authentication matches the prestored biometric information, determining that the identity authentication is successful, or

responsive to the determination that the biometric information for authentication does not match the prestored biometric information, determining that the identity authentication is not successful.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the image includes the identity information, and

obtaining the identity information sent by the terminal includes recognizing the identity information in the image collected by the terminal.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein:

recognizing the biometric information for authentication in the image includes recognizing the biometric information for authentication in a first preset region of the image, and

recognizing the identity information in the image collected by the terminal includes recognizing the identity information in a second preset region of the image.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein:

obtaining the image collected by the terminal includes obtaining a third image and a fourth image collected by the terminal,

recognizing the biometric information for authentication in the first preset region of the image includes recognizing the biometric information for authentication in a first preset region of the third image and a first preset region of the fourth image, and

recognizing the identity information in the second preset region of the image includes recognizing the identity information in a second preset region of the third image and a second preset region of the fourth image,

wherein a relative position between the first preset region and the second preset region of the third image are different from a relative position between the first present region and the second present region of the fourth image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein obtaining the prestored biometric information corresponding to the identity information includes obtaining the prestored biometric information corresponding to the identity information from a third party system.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the third party system is an identity document management system of a government authority.

7. An apparatus for identity authentication, the apparatus comprising:

a memory storing a set of instructions; and

one or more processors configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the apparatus to perform:

obtaining identity information in a second preset region on the image;

recognizing the biometric information for authentication in the image by recognizing first facial feature information for authentication in the first image, and recognizing second facial feature for authentication in the second image;

obtaining prestored biometric information corresponding to the identity information, wherein the prestored biometric information includes prestored facial feature information;

determining that the second facial feature information for authentication includes first specified feature information;

determining that the second facial feature information for authentication includes second specified feature information, wherein the first specified feature information and the second specified feature information include expressive feature information and are different;

determining whether the biometric information for authentication matches the prestored biometric information,

responsive to the determination that the biometric information for authentication matches the prestored biometric information, determining that the identity authentication is successful, and

responsive to the determination that the biometric information for authentication does not match the prestored biometric information, determining that the identity authentication is not successful.

8. The apparatus of claim 7 , wherein:

the image includes the identity information, and

the one or more processors are further configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the apparatus to perform obtaining the identity information sent by the terminal includes recognizing the identity information in the image collected by the terminal.

9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the apparatus to perform:

recognizing the biometric information for authentication in the image includes recognizing the biometric information for authentication in a first preset region of the image, and

recognizing the identity information in the image collected by the terminal includes recognizing the identity information in a second preset region of the image.

10. The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the set of instructions to cause the apparatus to perform:

obtaining the image collected by the terminal includes obtaining a third image and a fourth image collected by the terminal,

recognizing the biometric information for authentication in the first preset region of the image includes recognizing the biometric information for authentication in a first preset region of the third image and a first preset region of the fourth image, and

recognizing the identity information in the second preset region of the image includes recognizing the identity information in a second preset region of the third image and a second preset region of the fourth image,

wherein a relative position between the first preset region and the second preset region of the third image are different from a relative position between the first present region and the second present region of the fourth image.

11. A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a set of instructions that is executable by at least one processor of an apparatus to cause the apparatus to perform a method for identity authentication, the method comprising:

obtaining an image collected by a terminal, wherein the image includes a first image and a second image;
