US Patent 11838291 Distributed storage and user verification for visual feeds

A processing system including at least one processor may obtain, from a device of a requesting entity, a request to verify an identity of a user in a visual feed, obtain the visual feed from an endpoint device associated with the user, the visual feed including first visual biometric data of the user, and extract the first visual biometric data from the visual feed. The processing system may then retrieve second visual biometric data of the user from a plurality of distributed storage nodes, each storing a portion of the second visual biometric data, determine a match between the first visual biometric data and the second visual biometric data, and transmit the visual feed to the device of the requesting entity, where the visual feed includes an indication of an authentication of the user, in response to the determining the match between the first and second visual biometric data.
