Systems and methods for using motion pattern of a user for authentication

1. A system for generating a reference pattern for authentication, comprising:

one or more memory devices storing instructions; and

one or more processors remote from an access card, the one or more processors executing the instructions to perform operations comprising:

receiving first acceleration data from an accelerometer of the access card;

detecting a first acceleration, based on the first acceleration data;

normalizing the first acceleration, based on a particular placement of the accelerometer on the access card;

determining a first identifying pattern based on the normalized first acceleration; and

storing the first identifying pattern as a reference pattern for authenticating an identity of a user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving second acceleration data from an accelerometer of the access card;

detecting a second acceleration, based on the second acceleration data;

normalizing the second acceleration based on a coordinate system of the normalized first acceleration;

determining a second identifying pattern, based on the normalized second acceleration;

comparing the second identifying pattern and the reference identifying pattern; and

authenticating the identity of the user based on a result of the comparison.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein authenticating the identity of the user comprises at least one of approving a financial transaction, gaining secured access, or sending confidential information.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the operations further comprise prompting the user to perform a gesture for authentication.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein prompting the user to perform a gesture comprises prompting the user to draw at least one of a shape, a signature, or a code word.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein:

the operations further comprise filtering the first acceleration data; and

detecting the first acceleration comprises detecting the first acceleration, based on the filtered first acceleration data.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise storing a plurality of reference identifying patterns, each reference identifying pattern being associated with a different user.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise communicating with the access card via a near-field communication component.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise prompting the user to perform a gesture to configure a reference identifying pattern.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving information relating to the particular placement of the accelerometer on the access card.

11. A method for generating a reference pattern for authentication, comprising:

receiving first acceleration data from an accelerometer of an access card;

detecting a first acceleration, based on the first acceleration data;

determining a particular placement of the accelerometer on the access card;

normalizing the first acceleration, based on the particular placement of the accelerometer;

determining a first identifying pattern, based on the normalized first acceleration; and

storing the first identifying pattern as a reference pattern for authenticating an identity of a user.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprises:

receiving second acceleration data from an accelerometer of the access card;

detecting a second acceleration, based on the second acceleration data;

normalizing the second acceleration into a coordinate system of the normalized first acceleration;

determining a second identifying pattern, based on the normalized second acceleration;

comparing the second identifying pattern and the reference identifying pattern; and

authenticating the identity of the user based on a result of the comparison.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein authenticating the identity of the user comprises at least one of approving a financial transaction, gaining secured access, or sending confidential information.

14. The method of claim 12 , further comprising prompting the user to perform a gesture for authentication.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein prompting the user to perform a gesture comprises prompting the user to draw at least one of a shape, a signature, or a code word.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein:

the method further comprises filtering the first acceleration data; and

detecting the first acceleration comprises detecting the first acceleration, based on the filtered first acceleration data.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises storing a plurality of reference identifying patterns, each reference identifying pattern being associated with a different user.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises communicating with the access card via a near-field communication component.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises prompting the user to perform a gesture to configure a reference identifying pattern.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

receiving acceleration data from an accelerometer of an access card;

detecting an acceleration, based on the acceleration data;

normalizing the acceleration, based on a particular placement of the accelerometer on the access card;

determining an identifying pattern, based on the normalized acceleration; and

storing the identifying pattern as a reference pattern for authenticating an identity of a user.
