SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR ENABLING OPERATION BASED ON USER AUTHORIZATION

1 . A device, comprising:

a non-transitory memory storing instructions; and

one or more processors in communication with the non-transitory memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to:

authenticate a first user by:

receiving one or more first image based on a first set of sampling parameters;

identifying at least one face associated with the one or more first image; and

determining that the at least one face is an authorized user;

based on the authentication, permit the first user to access a first vehicle;

verify use of the first vehicle for the first user; and

in response to the verification, enable operation of the first vehicle by the first user.

2 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one face is identified by creating a face model, and comparing the face model to a database of authorized face models.

3 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one face is identified by using at least one of a depth map or a texture map of the at least one image.

4 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first user is further authenticated by:

receiving at least one second image based on a second set of sampling parameters, and

blending the one or more first image and the at least one second image to form a blended image.

5 . The device of claim 4 , wherein the first user is further authenticated by aligning the one or more first image with the at least one second image.

6 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first set of sampling parameters relate to an ambient exposure, and the one or more processors execute the instructions to receive at least one second image based on a second set of sampling parameters, the second set of sampling parameters relating to a strobe exposure.

7 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first set of sampling parameters include exposure coordinates.

8 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first user is further authenticated by receiving an audio input, the audio input compared against an audio signature of authorized users.

9 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first user is further authenticated by receiving an iris scan, the iris scan compared against iris scans of authorized users.

10 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one face is identified using a face model, the face model including an image depth map, an image surface texture map, an audio map, and a correlation map.

11 . The device of claim 10 , the correlation map matches up audio associated with phonetics, intonations, and/or emotions, with one or more face data points.

12 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the use of the first vehicle is verified using at least one of a geo-fence, vehicle conditions, road conditions, user conditions, or user restriction rules.

13 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the first user is further authenticated by using a card emulation mode of a secondary device associated with the first user, the secondary device in communication with the first vehicle using near-field communication (NFC).

14 . The device of claim 13 , wherein the first user is further authenticated by an audio signature in combination with the card emulation mode.

15 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the one or more processors execute the instructions to determine that the first vehicle is being operated in a non-compliant manner, and in response, provide a report to a second user.

16 . The device of claim 15 , wherein the non-compliant manner is overridden based on feedback from the second user in response to the report.

17 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the use of the first vehicle is restricted based on all occupants of the first vehicle, each occupant of the occupants having a separate occupant profile.

18 . The device of claim 17 , wherein the operation of the first vehicle is enabled with at least restriction based on a combination of all occupant profiles of the occupants, the at least one restriction including at least one of a time restriction, a speed limit restriction, a route restriction, a location restriction, or a driver restriction.

19 . A method, comprising:

authenticating a first user by:

receiving, using a processor, one or more first image based on a first set of sampling parameters;

identifying, using the processor, at least one face associated with the one or more first image; and

determining, using the processor, that the at least one face is an authorized user;

based on the authentication, permitting the first user to access a first vehicle;

verifying use of the first vehicle for the first user; and

in response to the verification, enabling operation of the first vehicle by the first user.

20 . A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that when executed by a processor

authenticate a first user by:

receiving one or more first image based on a first set of sampling parameters;

identifying at least one face associated with the one or more first image; and;

determining that the at least one face is an authorized user;

based on the authentication, permit the first user to access a first vehicle;

verify use of the first vehicle for the first user; and

in response to the verification, enable operation of the first vehicle by the first user.
