Patent 11544977 was granted and assigned to Shenzhen University on January, 2023 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A vibration-based authentication method for an access control system includes: collecting vibration signals generated by a built-in vibration motor in an authentication device; filtering, denoising, and performing endpoint segmentation on the collected vibration signals, and extracting vibration signals containing effective touch; performing an alignment on the segmented vibration signals; performing a fast Fourier transform on the aligned vibration signals to obtain frequency-domain data, extracting frequency-domain features obtained after alignment and features obtained before alignment to construct a training data set, and storing the training data set in a database of the authentication device; using a new unlock signal generated when a user touches the authentication device as test data, and processing the test data to obtain test data containing effective touch; and matching and classifying the test data containing effective touch with the training data set by using a machine learning classification model, to obtain an authentication result.
