Abstract

This disclosure is directed to a sequential biometric verification system and process. A device receives ( 502 ) a first biometric input and determines a match with a first predetermined biometric input of a verification sequence. The device provides ( 504 ) a first prompt that includes a request for a next biometric input user selection or a complete verification sequence user selection. The device receives the next biometric input user selection in response to the first prompt and a second biometric input, and then determines a match with a second predetermined biometric input of a verification sequence. The device provides a second prompt. The device receives the complete verification sequence user selection in response to the second prompt. Upon determining that at least the first and second biometric inputs ( 508 ) and the order of inputs match the predetermined biometric inputs of the verification sequence ( 510 ), the device enables receiving a user command.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined biometric input order required by the verification sequence includes the first biometric input being received before the second biometric input.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein, when the second biometric input is received before the first biometric input, prohibiting enablement of the computing device to receive a user command.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first biometric input comprises a first fingerprint input and the second biometric input comprises a second fingerprint input.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first biometric input and the second biometric input is selected from the group consisting of: a fingerprint input, a voice input, a facial recognition input, and a retina input.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein one of the first biometric input and the second biometric input comprises a fingerprint input and the other of the first biometric input and the second biometric input is selected from the group consisting of: a voice input, a facial recognition input, and a retina input.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein enabling the computing device to receive the user command comprises unlocking the computing device.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the computing device is a control panel for a premise security system, and wherein the control panel is set to an armed mode prior to receiving each of the first biometric input and the second biometric input.

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

after i) receiving the complete verification sequence user selection, and ii) upon determining that at least the first biometric input matches the first predetermined biometric input of the verification sequence, the second biometric input matches the second predetermined biometric input of the verification sequence, and the order in which the first biometric input and the second biometric input is received matches the predetermined biometric input order, providing a verification prompt to the user, the verification prompt including a request to repeat the first biometric input and the second biometric input; and

after i) receiving a repeat first biometric input and a repeat second biometric input, and ii) upon determining that at least the repeat first biometric input matches the first predetermined biometric input of the verification sequence, the repeat second biometric input matches the second predetermined biometric input of the verification sequence, and an order in which the repeat first biometric input and the repeat second biometric input is received matches the predetermined biometric input order for the first biometric input and the second biometric input required by the verification sequence, enabling the computing device to receive the user command.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, in response to receiving the complete verification sequence user selection before receiving the second biometric input, prohibiting enablement of the computing device to receive a user command.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first prompt is a visual prompt provided at the computing device, and wherein the second prompt is a visual prompt provided at the computing device.

12 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, cause the one or more processors to:

receive, by one or more processors of the computing device, a first biometric input;

determine, by the one or more processors of the computing device, that the first biometric input matches a first predetermined biometric input of a verification sequence;

after receiving the first biometric input, provide, by the one or more processors of the computing device, a first prompt, the first prompt including a first request for at least one of a next biometric input user selection and a complete verification sequence user selection;

receive, by the one or more processors of the computing device, the next biometric input user selection in response to the first prompt;

receive, by the one or more processors of the computing device, a second biometric input;

determine, by the one or more processors of the computing device, that the second biometric input matches a second predetermined biometric input of a verification sequence;

after receiving the second biometric input, provide, by the one or more processors of the computing device, a second prompt to the user, the second prompt including a second request for at least one of the next biometric input user selection and the complete verification sequence user selection;

receive, by the one or more processors of the computing device, the complete verification sequence user selection in response to the second prompt; and

after i) receiving, by the one or more processors of the computing device, the complete verification sequence user selection, and ii) upon determining, by the one or more processors of the computing device, that at least the first biometric input matches the first predetermined biometric input of the verification sequence, the second biometric input matches the second predetermined biometric input of the verification sequence, and an order in which the first biometric input and the second biometric input is received matches a predetermined biometric input order for the first biometric input and the second biometric input required by the verification sequence, enable, by the one or more processors of the computing device, receipt of a user command.
