Method and device for identity authentication
The present disclosure discloses a method and device for identity authentication. One example method includes retrieving stored fingerprint information for a user including a plurality of recorded fingerprints for the user, each recorded fingerprint associated with a different finger of the user; selecting a subset of the recorded fingerprints to be used to authenticate the user; prompting the user to provide fingerprint information corresponding to each finger associated with a recorded fingerprint in the selected subset; in response to prompting the user, receiving user-provided fingerprint information from the user; matching the user-provided fingerprint information against the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints; and determining that an identity authentication of the user succeeds when the user-provided fingerprint information matches the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
receiving fingerprint information entered by a user and fingerprint identification information corresponding to the fingerprint information;
recording and storing the fingerprint information for use in subsequent authentication of the user;
detecting whether the fingerprint information entered by the user for recording already exists among stored fingerprint information for the user; and
upon determining that that the fingerprint information entered by a user already exists among the stored fingerprint information for the user, suspending receipt of additional fingerprint information for the user, and outputting alarm information indicating that an attempt to repeat entry of fingerprint information has occurred;
retrieving the stored fingerprint information for the user including a plurality of recorded fingerprints for the user, each recorded fingerprint associated with a different finger of the user;
selecting, as a selected subset, a subset of the recorded fingerprints to be used to authenticate the user;
prompting the user to provide fingerprint information corresponding to each finger associated with a recorded fingerprint in the selected subset;
in response to prompting the user, receiving user-provided fingerprint information from the user;
detecting that the user-provided fingerprint information is received within a predetermined time period for each prompt for the fingerprint information; and
in response to exceeding the predetermined time period, determining that an identity authentication of the user fails and outputting alarm information indicating that the identity authentication of the user has failed because a time out occurred during user entry;
in response to not exceeding the predetermined time period, matching the user-provided fingerprint information against the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints; and
determining that an identity authentication of the user succeeds when the user-provided fingerprint information matches the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein matching the user-provided fingerprint information against the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints comprises matching each fingerprint of user-provided fingerprint information against each fingerprint of the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
when the user-provided fingerprint information does not match the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints, determining that the identity authentication of the user fails and outputting alarm information indicating that the identity authentication of the user has failed.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
before retrieving the stored fingerprint information, detecting whether the user is currently logging in;
when a determination is made that the user is not currently logging in, prompting the user to log in by using an account of the user;
obtaining login account information of the user that includes login fingerprint information; and
using the login fingerprint information as the user-provided fingerprint information.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein prompting the user to provide fingerprint information corresponding to each finger associated with a recorded fingerprint in the selected subset includes prompting in a predetermined finger order or in a random order.
6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium coupled to one or more computers and configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to:
receive fingerprint information entered by a user and fingerprint identification information corresponding to the fingerprint information;
record and store the fingerprint information for use in subsequent authentication of the user;
detect whether the fingerprint information entered by the user for recording already exists among stored fingerprint information for the user; and
upon determining that that the fingerprint information entered by a user already exists among the stored fingerprint information for the user, suspend receipt of additional fingerprint information for the user, and output alarm information indicating that an attempt to repeat entry of fingerprint information has occurred;
retrieve the stored fingerprint information for the user including a plurality of recorded fingerprints for the user, each recorded fingerprint associated with a different finger of the user;
select, as a selected subset, a subset of the recorded fingerprints to be used to authenticate the user;
prompt the user to provide fingerprint information corresponding to each finger associated with a recorded fingerprint in the selected subset;
in response to prompting the user, receive user-provided fingerprint information from the user;
detecting that the user-provided fingerprint information is received within a predetermined time period for each prompt for the fingerprint information; and
in response to exceeding the predetermined time period, determining that an identity authentication of the user fails and outputting alarm information indicating that the identity authentication of the user has failed because a time out occurred during user entry;
in response to not exceeding the predetermined time period, match the user-provided fingerprint information against the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints; and
determine that an identity authentication of the user succeeds when the user-provided fingerprint information matches the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints.
7. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein matching the user-provided fingerprint information against the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints comprises matching each fingerprint of user-provided fingerprint information against each fingerprint of the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , further configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to:
when the user-provided fingerprint information does not match the selected subset of the recorded fingerprints, determine that the identity authentication of the user fails and outputting alarm information indicating that the identity authentication of the user has failed.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , further configured with instructions executable by the one or more computers to:

when a determination is made that the user is not currently logging in, prompt the user to log in by using an account of the user;

10. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 6 , wherein prompting the user to provide fingerprint information corresponding to each finger associated with a recorded fingerprint in the selected subset includes prompting in a predetermined finger order or in a random order.
11. A system, comprising:
one or more computers; and
