Abstract

In some implementations, a device may obtain video and/or lidar data relating to a physical card captured while the physical card is flipped from a first side of the physical card to a second side of the physical card. The device may determine an authenticity of the physical card, where the authenticity of the physical card is based at least in part on one or more physical characteristics of the physical card identifiable from the video and/or the lidar data. The one or more physical characteristics may relate to a thickness of the physical card, a length and width of the physical card, a shape of the physical card, and/or a design feature of the physical card. The device may cause, based on a determination that the physical card is authentic, information associated with the physical card to be transmitted or stored to be used in connection with a transaction.

Claims (58)

1 . A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions, the set of instructions comprising:

one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a device, cause the device to:

obtain data relating to a card captured while the card is flipped from a first side of the card to a second side of the card;

generate one or more three-dimensional (3D) models of the card based on the data;

determine an authenticity associated with the card,

wherein the authenticity associated with the card is based at least in part on one or more physical characteristics of the card identifiable based on the one or more 3D models; and

cause, based on a determination that the card is authentic, information associated with the card to be transmitted or stored.

2 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the data is at least one of video data or lidar data.

3 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the card is a physical card.

4 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more physical characteristics relate to one or more of:

a thickness of the card,

a length of the card,

a width of the card,

a shape of the card, or

a design feature of the card.

5 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the device to:

operate in a particular viewing mode based on an indication that the card is to be authenticated.

6 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the device to:

identify textual information on the card; and

wherein the authenticity of the card is based at least in part on the textual information.

7 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the device includes one or more sensors configured to sense a physical environment associated with the device.

8 . The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the one or more instructions, that cause the device to determine an authenticity associated with the card, cause the device to:

authenticate a liveness of the card.

9 . A device comprising:

one or more memories; and

one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the one or more memories, configured to:

obtain data relating to a card captured while the card is flipped from a first side of the card to a second side of the card;

generate one or more three-dimensional (3D) models of the card based on the data;

determine an authenticity associated with the card,

wherein the authenticity associated with the card is based at least in part on one or more physical characteristics of the card identifiable based on the one or more 3D models; and

cause, based on a determination that the card is authentic, information associated with the card to be transmitted or stored.

10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the data is at least one of video data or lidar data.

11 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the card is a physical card.

12 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more physical characteristics relate to one or more of:

a thickness of the card,

a length of the card,

a width of the card,

a shape of the card, or

a design feature of the card.

13 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

cause the device to operate in a particular viewing mode based on an indication that the card is to be authenticated.

14 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:

identify textual information on the card; and

wherein the authenticity of the card is based at least in part on the textual information.

15 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the device includes one or more sensors configured to sense a physical environment associated with the device.

16 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the one or more processors, to determine an authenticity associated with the card, are configured to:

authenticate a liveness of the card.

17 . A method comprising:

obtaining, by a device, data relating to a physical card captured while the physical card is flipped from a first side of the physical card to a second side of the physical card;

generating one or more three-dimensional (3D) models of the physical card based on the data;

determining, by the device, an authenticity associated with the physical card,

wherein the authenticity associated with the physical card is based at least in part on one or more physical characteristics of the physical card identifiable based on the one or more 3D models; and

causing, by the device and based on a determination that the physical card is authentic, information associated with the physical card to be transmitted or stored.

18 . The method of claim 17 , further comprising:

operating in a particular viewing mode based on an indication that the physical card is to be authenticated.

19 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the device includes one or more sensors configured to sense a physical environment associated with the device.

20 . The method of claim 17 , wherein determining an authenticity associated with the physical card comprises:

authenticating a liveness of the physical card.
