Method and system for use of biometric information associated with consumer interactions
Embodiments provide a computer-executed method, a computer system and computer program product for facilitating a commercial transaction. The method includes transmitting computer-executable instructions to cause a representation of an item to be displayed on a consumer interface rendered on a visual display of a computing device associated with a consumer. The method also includes receiving, from the computing device, an indication of consumer input performed using the consumer interface, the consumer input associated with the representation of the item available for a commercial transaction. The method also includes receiving, from the computing device, biometric information associated with the consumer. The method also includes determining an identity of the consumer based on the biometric information and, based on the identity of the consumer, associating the consumer input with a predetermined command defined for the consumer. The method further includes transmitting computer-executable instructions to facilitate a transaction associated with the command with respect to the item.
1. A computer-executable method, the method comprising:
rendering a consumer interface to a visual display of a computing device in association with a provider system;
receiving an indication of a compound consumer input performed by a user using the computing device;
in response to and concurrent with the receiving the indication of the compound consumer input, triggering at least an image sensor of the computing device to capture biometric image information of the user;
generating, via a processor, biometric data based at least on the captured biometric image information, wherein the biometric data includes one or more characteristics of the user;
identifying the user as a first user based upon the one or more characteristics in the biometric data;
determine a first portion of the compound consumer input corresponds to a first command and a second portion of the compound consumer input corresponds to a second command based at least in part on the identification of the user; and
initiating the first command and the second command on behalf of the first user in association with the provider system.
2. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , wherein the visual display is a touchscreen display and the touchscreen display comprises one or more fingerprint sensors, the method further comprising triggering at least one of the one or more fingerprint sensors to capture biometric fingerprint information of the user, and wherein the biometric data is generated based at least on the captured biometric image information and the captured biometric fingerprint information of the user.
3. The computer-executable method of claim 2 , wherein generating the biometric data comprises:
analyzing, via the processor, at least the captured biometric image information and the captured biometric fingerprint information of the user; and
determining the one or more characteristics of the user.
4. The computer-executable method of claim 2 , wherein at least a portion of the compound consumer input comprises a touch interaction with the touchscreen display such that the biometric fingerprint information is captured during the touch interaction with the touchscreen display.
5. The computer-executable method of claim 4 , wherein the touch interaction includes one or more of: a checkmark selection, a touchscreen press action, a touchscreen tap action, a touchscreen press and hold action, a touchscreen drag and drop action, a touchscreen pinch action, a touchscreen unpinch action, a touchscreen swipe action, a touchscreen writing action, a touchscreen drawing or writing motion, or a touchscreen selection of one or more alphanumeric characters.
6. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , wherein generating the biometric data comprises analyzing, via the processor, the biometric image information of the user and determining the one or more characteristics of the user.
7. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , wherein the visual display comprises a touchscreen display and wherein the compound consumer input comprises at least a touch interaction with the touchscreen display.
8. The computer-executable method of claim 7 , wherein the touch interaction is a continuous touch interaction.
9. The computer-executable method of claim 7 , wherein the touch interaction includes one or more of: a checkmark selection, a touchscreen press action, a touchscreen tap action, a touchscreen press and hold action, a touchscreen drag and drop action, a touchscreen pinch action, a touchscreen unpinch action, a touchscreen swipe action, a touchscreen writing action, a touchscreen drawing or writing motion, or a touchscreen selection of one or more alphanumeric characters.
10. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , further comprising:
causing the consumer interface to display a consumer input definition interface configured to enable the user to define one or more compound consumer inputs related to one or more commands;
while the consumer input definition interface is displayed, receiving compound consumer input definition data defining an interaction with the computing device by the user;
generating the compound consumer input based on the compound consumer input definition data;
associating the compound consumer input with the first command and the second command; and
storing the compound consumer input, the first command, and the second command in association with stored biometric information associated with the user on a non-transitory storage device.
11. The computer-executable method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving an indication of a second compound consumer input performed by a second user using the computing device;
in response to and concurrent with the receiving the indication of the second compound consumer input, triggering the image sensor or at least one other biometric sensor of the computing device to capture second biometric information of the second user;
generating, via the processor, second biometric data from the captured second biometric information, wherein the second biometric data includes one or more characteristics of the second user;
identifying the second user as the second user based upon the one or more characteristics in the second biometric data;
determine the second compound consumer input corresponds to a third command based at least in part on the second biometric data; and
initiating the third command on behalf of the second user in association with the provider system.
12. The computer-executable method of claim 11 , wherein the first command is different than the third command.
13. The computer-executable method of claim 12 , wherein the visual display is a touchscreen display, wherein the touchscreen display comprises one or more fingerprint sensors, and wherein triggering the at least one other biometric sensor comprises triggering at least one of the one or more fingerprint sensors to capture biometric fingerprint information of the second user, such that the captured second biometric information comprises the captured biometric fingerprint information of the second user.
14. The computer-executable method of claim 13 , wherein at least a portion of the compound consumer input comprises a touch interaction with the touchscreen display and at least a portion of the second compound consumer input comprises a second touch interaction with the touchscreen display.
15. The computer-executable method of claim 14 , wherein the touch interaction is substantially similar to the second touch interaction.
16. The computer-executable method of claim 11 , wherein identifying the user as the first user based upon the one or more characteristics in the biometric data comprises:
querying stored biometric information associated with a plurality of users, including the first user and the second user, based upon the one or more characteristics in the biometric data; and
associating the compound consumer input with the first user.
17. The computer-executable method of claim 16 , wherein identifying the user as the second user based upon the one or more characteristics in the second biometric data comprises:
querying the stored biometric information associated with the plurality of users, including the first user and the second user, based upon the one or more characteristics in the second biometric data; and
associating the second compound consumer input with the second user.
18. The computer-executable method of claim 17 , wherein identifying the first user causes selection of the first command and the second command on behalf of the first user.
19. The computer-executable method of claim 17 , wherein identifying the second user causes selection of the third command on behalf of the second user.
