MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Rice saw its hopes to add one final chapter to a championship season come to an abrupt end as Mississippi State spotted the Owls an early lead, then scored 44 consecutive points to capture the 55th AutoZone Liberty Bowl 44-7 in Memphis on Tuesday.
Dak Prescott, who sparked the Bulldogs (7-6) to bowl eligibility with a dramatic return to the lineup against arch rival Ole Miss in the Egg Bowl, threw for 283 yards and three scores and added 78 yards and two more touchdowns on the ground to earn MVP honors. He teamed with wide receiver Jameon Lewis for most of the damage through the air, as Lewis set a school record with 220 receiving yards on nine receptions.
"We knew coming into this game, that we were going to have to play our best to win it, obviously, we didn't," Rice head coach David Bailiff said. "Hats off to Dan Mullen and the job his staff did with his football team, they did a fabulous job getting their team ready to play. This one falls on me, we were not ready to play and that's the head coach's responsibility. We didn't play well offensively or defensively, but I'm also extremely proud of this football team and this season -- to win 10 games, have a 100% graduation rate and win Conference USA."
The Owls (10-4) were looking to win 11 games for the first time in school history and the used a familiar script to take an early 7-0 lead.
Phillip Gaines recovered a fumble on MSU's first possession, and nine plays later, Charles Ross bulled over from a yard out to give Rice a 7-0 lead. It marked the 13th time in 14 games this year that the Owls had scored first, and it was Ross' 36th career touchdown, moving him into third place on the Rice career list. Ross also became the first Owl to score in consecutive bowl games.
Prescott's first TD pass knotted the game at 7-7 after one quarter and then led the Bulldogs to 20 points in the second stanza. He was masterful on third down, converting a series of third and long challenges to keep scoring drives alive.
"Third down was a problem," Bailiff said. "We'd get them in third and long, the screen-play, the missed sack was on third and long when Prescott scrambled. We defended the initial play, but what we didn't defend was when the plays broke down and it turned into yard-ball. You've still got to know where the receivers are, you still have to hold contain, you have to keep your fundamentals and we did not do that."
While Prescott was frustrating the Rice defense, the Bulldog defenders clamped down on the Owls offense.
Rice gained 82 yards on 19 plays in the first quarter, but could gain only an addition 63 the remainder of the game. Ross ran for 22 yards in the first quarter, but gained only six the rest of the way to close out his career with 2,689, second best in school history. He was selected by the media as the Owls Offensive Player of the Game, while linebacker James Radcliffe, who forced the fumble that set up the Owls opening score, was tabbed as the Owls Defensive Player of the Game.
The outcome was not what Bailiff and the Owls had hoped would cap a championship season, but he also said the result should not define the 2013 Owls.
"We were dreaming big all year. We came here wanting to win the Liberty Bowl, that was the only goal we did not achieve this season, but these young men absolutely played with their hearts and souls and tried to play for each other, we just did not play the way we wanted. I would not trade these young men or this experience for the world. I love this football team, Rice and the City of Houston, we will build on this season and the best is yet to come."
The disappointment in the result paled in comparison to the reality that as Bailiff addressed the team in the locker room after the game, he was saying goodbye to a group of players who matched the greatest two-year record in school history.
"You know what, 19 of them I've been with for five years," Bailiff said. "There were a lot of tears in that locker room, not from the loss, but from young men who have invested so much and done everything that we have asked them to do since I have gotten here. It's tough. It's hard. We have 23 seniors that are never going to put on their Rice Owl football jersey again. There are tears in that locker room when the journey is over. You have these young men and they become your family, it's like you have a 105 sons."

Really good relaxing evening and tasty food. Not fast but nothing wrong with a chill out on an evening. Food worth wait. Service friendly and the guys take much pride in their work. Great :-)
My parter and I visited here on a wet and cold Saturday night after wandering around and being turned away from some of Cheltenham's more oversubscribed restaurants. I quickly scanned the menu next to the front door and then quickly dashed inside to escape the icy rain.
First impressions were of a nice relaxed family run place, nothing fancy to...
Been meaning to come here for ages and so glad that we did! Lovely friendly atmosphere and food for was delicious and everything was cooked to perfection - very helpful explaining the menu and highly recommend the meze starter and fish special.
Great food and excellent attentive service nothing was to much trouble..made to feel very welcome on our visit...x
The restaurant doesn't seem hugely inviting from the outside, probably because the entrance is up some stairs and you can't see in. However don't let you put that off. Once inside the service is very attentive without being annoying and the food absolutely delicious. My friends and I shared a selection of starters with the calamari and mezze plate both...
Four of us had a really lovely evening here. It's much more welcoming inside than you would think from the outside. The staff were very helpful and attentive, explaining the dishes on the menu. It was a great choice for our vegetarian guest who had lots to choose from. We will certainly be going again.
Went to Daphne's many years ago and was very good but haven't been back since until last night. Still pleased to say service and food excellent and great value. Really varied mixed meze to start and a nicely cooked mixed grill which was very good. House white competively priced and very drinkable. Will definitely try and visit more often.
As part of a hen weekend in Cheltenham, a group of 14 of us were booked in for Saturday night dinner - the place had been chosen as the bride-to-be loves Turkish food and used to live in Turkey.
We arrived just after 8pm and were welcomed into the small and cosy restaurant, where they had managed to fit a...
The food was excellent, we were a large group of 14 on a Saturday evening, when the restaurant was very busy. We did have a wait, but most of the party felt that the food was worth the wait. As a Hen weekend, the team brought the bride to be a couple of little gifts, a nice touch I thought.
Our New Year's Eve meal at Daphne's was excellent. After a short but cold walk from the bus, we received a warm and friendly welcome when we arrived. Our host described the menu items to us, and we were soon tucking into a tasty meze starter. My king prawn guvech (casserole) and my wife's sea bass were both deliciously herbed...

I always feed just before sleep. My experience has been if my bubs were stimulated before sleep with 'play time', then they would not settle.
So, my 'routine' for my 4mth old DD is- baby wakes up, bottle feed, awake time (not more than 2 hrs), bottle feed, burp, put in bed awake, I walk out, baby goes to sleep.
(Note: I don't recall having any probs with my DS1 and DS2 who always had a bottle after their solids dinner and before bed. This continued until we got rid of the before bed bottle at about 18 months of age. That was the last bottle feed to go.)

I am a deep value investor looking for stocks trading at a significant discount. I also look for egregiously overvalued stocks with a view to short them. I believe in combination of long and short positions in this volatile market. I have been investing in stocks/options in the last 23 years. I like to focus on analyzing stocks whose business I can understand either because the business is simple or I can relate the business to my work experience.

I apologize to investors who follow my articles, but I don't currently plan to resume any involvement with SA, though that may eventually change, if the site ever implements/enforces deterrents to web stalkers. For now, I only publicly share opinions on stocks via Twitter, StockTwits, etc. The rest of what follows is my normal profile, so I won't have to rewrite it, should I ever continue posting on SA. Best of luck investing. Cheers. I run a small family office managing long-term portfolios and special projects beyond the capital markets. I'm fortunate to have worked for a NYSE-traded financial firm for the decade through 2010, but I am not an adviser, my articles only share our investing actions/opinions, and they are not investment advice. Proof is in the pudding, so here are our stock portfolio returns from the most recent five years: 2011 +37%, 2012 +32%, 2013 +52%, 2014 +11%, 2015 +14%, 2016 +37% (those are only capital gains, but all except 2 out of ~25 holdings pay dividends). Returns are moderating as expected, since most all positions were rebuilt/opened in 2010-2012 at extreme undervaluation levels, yet only 1-3 new positions are opened in each more recent year at moderate undervaluation levels. I also trade around our core positions for short-term profits, but I do not include trade gains in portfolio return tracking, and my articles are strictly about long-term investing. My investing career started in the 1980s, and the transition to full-time was finalized in 2009. I only list returns from 2012 because that's when I became most active on SA, and the stock calls that led to those results can be verified here. For 2008-2011, my focus was shorter-term trades, which made total annual returns harder to tally, so without wasting time backtracking, I can only say returns were worthwhile. For most years prior, I was a blue-chip-only, buy-and-hold guy, which also worked well, so I still own most of those stocks in accounts separate from our actively-managed portfolios.
I'm an investment professional with more than 15 years of trading experience.
My current and upcoming articles will contain a short synopsis of overall market developments on a weekly basis. Particular focus is on VIX-related instruments.
Friedrich is the name given to our algorithm for analyzing companies that trade on the global stock markets. In creating Friedrich we concentrated on analyzing each company's Main Street operations through various established ratios, along with our own unique ratios that we developed over the last 30 years. What we came up with is a final "Main Street" price per share based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), which is a framework of accounting standards, rules and procedures defined by the professional accounting industry, which has been adopted by nearly all publicly traded U.S. companies. We feel that our Main Street price result is what each company would need to trade at in order to be attractive to a businessperson on Main Street looking to buy at a bargain.
Since the only constant in the universe is change, the results for each company fluctuate by varying degrees. No company is an island unto itself, but each operates in a world of constant change and at times in areas where Chaos is the norm. By analyzing a company's Main Street operations over time, Friedrich is able to give the potential investor a decade long analysis (opinion) as well as offering a Trailing Twelve Month (TTM) analysis (opinion), as well. Thus our readers will not only get as close to a real time view of operations on Main Street as is possible, but then can measure the consistency of the company's operations over time to determine if s/he should invest or not.
Through our Friedrich algorithm we can analyze ten years of Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement data for each company all at once and generate one final result in seconds. Friedrich was designed to be ultra-conservative and thus will cut zero slack to any company under analysis and will do so with zero emotion. Companies must be exceptional in order to get an attractive Main Street valuation and the ideal investments according to our backtesting are the ones that have been consistent over time.
By being so ultra conservative Friedrich is designed to identify bargains that Wall Street investors may have overlooked. Companies shares may trade on the stock market but the companies themselves operate on Main Street, so Friedrich is designed to generate a Main Street price per share first and only then does he go to Wall Street and see the price for which Benjamin Graham's "Mr. Market" is offering the shares.

"[T]he function of the margin-of-safety is, in essence, that of rendering unnecessary an accurate estimate of the future. If the margin is a large one, then it is enough to assume that future earnings will not fall far below those of the past in order for an investor to feel sufficiently protected against the vicissitudes of time."
"Needless to say, the analyst must take possible future changes into account, but his primary aim is not so much to profit from them as to guard against them. Broadly speaking, he views the future as a hazard which his conclusions must encounter rather than as the source of his vindication."
"[F]inding the really outstanding companies and staying with them through all fluctuations of a gyrating market proved far more profitable to far more people than did the more colorful practice of trying to buy them cheap and sell them dear…These opportunities did not require purchasing on a particular day at the bottom of a great panic."

It is very hard or impossible to time the broad market consistently — there are no famous investors that got rich by consistently knowing what the broad market would do next. This only makes sense, as there are just too many variables in the broad market. But there are many famous investors who got rich analyzing individual securities, and this is where you should put your focus. You can get an edge in individual securities.

I am a full time investor mainly focused on US equities.
I consider my self a value investor, committed to the Buffett & Munger way of thought.
That means I like companies that are simple to understand, have a strong competitve advantage and are of course... extremely cheap. If I can't find anything to suit me I just stay on the sidelines searching and waiting.
Capital preservation is my most important objective. I don't trade much, I read and study a lot, and when I find a great company on the cheap I keep buying as much as I can.

I'm a family man, sports fiend, health nut, technology buff, long-time stock investor, and a very lucky mountain climber, all of which has shaped my philosophy as a professional investor for the last 30 years. As my interests might suggest, I am always looking for the upside while striving to minimize risks.
My new passion, which I have realized through DividendLab.com project, is helping other investors learn more about investing; investing in stocks and other assets that are subject to wide price swings can actually enhance their returns when the right investment strategy is applied. To that end, I read company 10k and 10q statements so they can skip them. I compile and analyze the market research that isn't always at their fingertips. And I don't make any investment recommendation without committing my own funds first, which is the purest form of accountability.

Brussels sprouts chips take a bit more work to prep than kale chips, but the result is crunchy and delicious and rivals potato chips any day of the week.
- Yield
- Serves 4
- 1 pound brussels sprouts
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Remove the leaves of the brussels sprouts. This is tedious work, but it can be done. You want as many leaves as possible, and you may need to keep cutting away the stem as you get deeper into the sprout.
- 2. Place the leaves on a baking sheet and drizzle generously with olive oil, tossing to coat. Sprinkle with the sea salt. Bake, turning every 5 to 7 minutes, until browned and crunchy, almost burnt, but not burnt.

Expo aftermath and anime events this June
Article by Tom Phillips (drowned_panda) posted Thursday 3rd June 2010
Well one of the biggest event of the anime calendar - MCM London Expo - has been and gone and will be back in October. Many of you reading this were no doubt there and may agree with me in saying it was one of the best Expos yet. Bigger and more spacious then previous Expos, it also showcased a dazzling array of cosplay talent largely thanks to the Euro Cosplay qualifiers. Many congratulations to SephNoir for winning the qualifier in her Ectvarr cosplay, she will be representing the UK in the Euro Cosplay championships at October MCM London Expo. Well done to all the other cosplayers also, seeing your creations made for one great weekend!

Tokonatsu 2010 cancelled
Article by Tom Phillips (drowned_panda) posted Thursday 25th March 2010
Bad news for anyone planning to attend Tokonatsu this year. Due to a structural issue and health & safety concerns, the wardens and chairman of the venue have decided to close it down until these issues have been addressed. As it is unclear how long this will take, coupled with the difficulties of finding a new venue at this short notice, the committee has decided not to run this year and are looking to return in 2011.
This is a real shame as Tokonatsu was a truly unique anime convention, being held outside in a field with attendees camping for it. The event is known for a community spirit and a similar atmosphere to that of a music festival. Kudos to the committee for making the above decision though, as it will no doubt mean a triumphant return in 2011.
For further information, view the announcement on the Tokonatsu forums:

Article by Kat B (Delusional) posted Saturday 20th March 2010
Spring is here and the con season is starting to get into full swing. As such we have a few updates from the early conventions of the year - Kitacon and Minamicon.
With Kitacon just around the corner a lot of you will no doubt be frantically sewing. In your panic though, don't forget to register for their events - the masquerade, the cosplay competition and Kita's Got Talent. The deadline for Kita's got talent is Wednesday 24th March, whilst the masquerade submission deadline is 11am on Saturday 27th. Register now and don't miss out! All the information and the registration forms for the events can be found on the cosplay section of their website.
For those of you heading to Minamicon in April, the masquerade registrations have now opened! If you want to pre-register before the event, online registration will be open until midday Saturday 17th April. For any questions or queries, drop an email through to the team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Due to popular demand both of these events are sold out so if you haven't got a ticket I'm afraid you'll need to wait for the next one. Don't worry about being left without an event to plan for though, May Expo is just around the corner...

Amecon 2010 registrations open this Monday!
Article by Tom Phillips (drowned_panda) posted Saturday 13th February 2010
Registrations for the biggest UK anime convention of 2010 - Amecon - open this Monday (15th February).
Held at Keele University near Newcastle-under-Lyme, the convention will run from 13th - 15th August with a capacity of 1000+. Onsite accommodation will be available to book upon registering.
For those who have not been to Amecon before, I thoroughly recommend attending. It is a weekend of pure anime joy from panels, guests, screenings, dealers and some of the best parties you will ever go to! Cosplay is also huge at Amecon, with the vast majority of attendees wearing it and then strutting their stuff at the always popular masquerade. The final night also plays host to a formal Cosplay Ball, which is a great way to round off the weekend.
For those of you who have been before, you know it'll be awesome!
I'm sure you all join me on Monday in registering for the event on their website here - http://www.amecon.org.uk

According to ancient ideas, there is a certain group of people who are able to apply to the animals, most of the wolves, which can attack people.
In some ways it is a fiction, but there are other information.
It has long history of walking with a similar plot. A hunter went into the woods, where he was attacked by a huge wolf. Hunter hurt his paw, side or just the stomach. Then the animal is hidden in an unknown direction, and then in a nearby village found the man with the exact same injury. Strange stories, despite the fantastic nature are under a completely scientific basis.
From time immemorial
If a little plow up layers of history can bedetect as early as the nineteenth century, the so-called cases of lycanthropy were first described. Man, it ill, suffering from excessive hairiness, had some mutations of the body and certain mental disorders. Of course, he did not address a wolf, but still behaved like this wild animal. The most interesting thing that a person seriously considered himself just an animal or a werewolf.
Not so hard to find evidence of strange occurrences that are linked to werewolves or very large animals.
In ancient times the Slavic legends thatlycanthropy could get sick, if you wear the enchanted wolf's skin. But it is too far from modern people in a historical perspective. There are cases of quite new. So, in 2005, a trucker Scott Williams told reporters that one of the roads saw a strange beast. He tormented killed prey and mean on the one hand looked like either a gorilla, or at the werewolf in the classical description. Of course, followed by a reasonable question of journalists whether there was a vision inspired by a chronic lack of sleep, but Williams insisted that the sleep off the day perfectly, to go at night, when there is dense traffic.
Again, a bit of history, but rather, can bego back to the eighteenth century in the south of France, where raging huge wolf-eater. The number of his victims is estimated in tens. Rumors reached the king, who has allocated twenty people, the best hunters, able to cope with not such a beast. With great difficulty, managed to kill the wolf, one of the hunters claimed that it was only possible after the application of a special silver bullet.
Facts and Fiction
If in early historic times and have beenwerewolves, and now they are already extinct, the victim of silver bullets. Currently, there is only lycanthropy - officially recognized as a disease, which "fight" is not in the dense forests, and in the sterile doctor's office. This may not notice, but the fact remains - there is lycanthropy.
Lycanthropy is considered a psychological disorder, but is not excluded different genetic mutations.
However, today there, herethere are stories of encounters with the unknown. It is not known how all this is justified, but - there is no smoke without fire, but because - everything is possible, until proven otherwise.

Reviews for this host's other properties
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.
A group of five girls stayed here and it was fantastic! The views were spectacular the location was spot on couldn't fault the apartment it was spotless and the finishing touch of the towels made up as swans on each bed with small toiletries was a lovely touch. We picked up the keys early from the interhome office the lady was extremely helpful. Would highly recommend we will be using this apartment again on our next visit to benidorm. Thank you
perfect!! the host were so accomodating...nice flat with a private pool...100% coming back!
A little romantic house near lake como. It's a historic stone house, which has been restored beautifully. Perfect for two persons, but also possible with two kids.
Beautiful, comfortable flat with a magnificent view over plage du sillon
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of surface based computing and, more particularly, to using a surface based computing device for verification of an identification document.
2. Description of the Related Art
Security measures involving identifying documents are used to access goods, services, secured regions, and the like. For example, alcohol distribution is age restricted and alcohol purchasers are required to show a driver's license or other photo identification that verifies their age at a time of sale. In another example, night clubs are commonly age restricted and only grant entry to people that meet the age requirement, as verified by an identifying document (e.g., driver's license). Many test taking facilities, such as facilities administering Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) or American College Test (ACT) tests, require test takers to produce a valid photo identification document to verify that the person actually taking a test is a person receiving credit for the test results.
In conventional security situations, a human agent is involved in the verification process. Use of humans to verify identifying documents is inherently flawed for multiple reasons. First, human agents can be bribed to overlook a flawed identification document, such as when a cashier is paid excessive amounts for alcohol by a minor. Even if there are no bribes are involved, humans are generally not skilled at verifying a legitimacy of identifying documents, especially when the documents are from a state or a country other than the one the human agent is in. More specifically, a human agent is generally not very good at knowing whether items within an identifying document are positioned correctly, even though incorrect or inexact positioning of items is common for fake identifying documents. What is needed is a convenient, more secure way to verify identity which is not solely dependent on human verification.
The current invention discloses a solution for using a surface based computing device for verification of an identifying document, such as a driver's license. A surface based computing device can be a device capable of scanning an identifying document, comparing the scanned document against a set of conditions for a valid document, and reporting comparison results. A secured resource can be granted based at least in part upon identity verifications conducted by the surface based computing device. The surface based computing device can include a MICROSOFT SURFACE device or any other computing device able to scan an identifying document and to process scanned results. In one embodiment, the surface based computing device can be used in conjunction with a human agent for added security.
The present invention can be implemented in accordance with numerous aspects consistent with the material presented herein. For example, one aspect of the present invention can include a method of granting access to a secured resource based upon verifying an identification document. The method can include a step of identifying an identification document placed on a surface based computing device. The surface based computing device can digitally encode information from the identification document. The digitally encoded information can be analyzed to determine a type of the identification document. Features for the determined type of identification document can be retrieved from a data store. The digitally encoded information can be compared against the retrieved features to determine a compatibility score. When the compatibility score exceeds a previously established threshold, the identification document can be verified as authentic. When the compatibility score does not exceed the previously established threshold, the identification document can remain unverified. Verified identification documents can be utilized to grant a related user access to a secured resource. In one embodiment, a human verification agent can be required to verify the identification document before access is granted to the secured resource.
Another aspect of the present invention can include a surface based computing device that includes a scanning device, an identification engine, and a user interface. The scanning device can scan an identification document. The identification engine can analyze an identification document scanned by the scanning device to determine a validity of the scanned document by comparing features of the scanned identification document against features of an identification document template for a document of a same type as the scanned identification document. The user interface can present verification results of the analysis performed by the identification verification engine. The verification results can be utilized to selectively grant access to a secured resource.
It should be noted that various aspects of the invention can be implemented as a program for controlling computing equipment to implement the functions described herein, or as a program for enabling computing equipment to perform processes corresponding to the steps disclosed herein. This program may be provided by storing the program in a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a semiconductor memory, or any other recording medium. The program can also be provided as a digitally encoded signal conveyed via a carrier wave. The described program can be a single program or can be implemented as multiple subprograms, each of which interact within a single computing device or interact in a distributed fashion across a network space.
There are shown in the drawings, embodiments which are presently preferred, it being understood, however, that the invention is not limited to the precise arrangements and instrumentalities shown.
In system 100, a user 105 can position the identification document 109 near the device 110 so that an included or attached scanning device 124 can function. Data obtained from the scanning device 124 can be processed by the identification engine 122 to determine a type of identification document 109 scanned. Once a type is determined, a data store 152 can be consulted (i.e., table 153) to determine exact features that the identification document 109 is to have. For example, a Florida Driver's License has different features arranged in a different manner than a New York Driver's License, or a Maryland Passport. Additionally, an automated device 110 is better at identifying differences in spatial arrangements than is a human agent 106. The data store 152 can be managed by a backend server 148 remote from device 110 connected via network 140 or can be a data store of the device 110, which is periodically updated from a remote source (e.g., data store 152).
In one implementation, a user 105 can be verified for a completely automated transaction based upon results of the feature comparison, which can be combined with a number of other optional verification techniques in order to increase system 100 accuracy. In a different implementation, a verifying agent 106 can also be involved in the identification document 109 verification process. The human agent 106 can monitor interaction between user 105 and the device 110 to minimize the ability of user 105 to deceive the device 110. The agent 106 can also inspect the identification document 109 to validate other aspects, which are difficult for automated components of system 100 to detect. Such aspects can include document 109 texture, color, and the like. Additionally, many identification documents 109 incorporate anti-forgery elements, such as holograms, which are difficult to reproduce, difficult for many automated systems to detect, yet easy for a human agent 106 to discern. Further, the human agent 106, who may not be familiar with details of the identification document 109 can be presented with information from the device 110, such as a sample picture of what the document 109 should look like, which can be obtained from table 153. In one embodiment, the agent 106 can be prompted to examine specific elements of the document 109, such as looking for a hologram on the top right corner or looking for a magnetic strip on the back of the document.
As noted, the device 110 can implement numerous optional additional verification processes. These additionally verification procedures can be performed for each identification document 109 verification event, can be randomly performed as a safety measure within system 100 to keep users 105 "honest", and/or can be selectively performed for abnormal transactions. An abnormal transaction can, for example, be an attempted purchase of a thousand dollars worth of alcohol, as opposed to a six pack of beer.
One such optional verification process uses an image capture device 126 to capture an image of user 105. This image can be compared against an image contained in the identification document 109. A captured image of the user 105 can also be compared against a stored image accessible by device 110 for the user 105. The image capture device 126 can be situationally supplemented with any number of biometric input devices, such as a finger print reader, a voice print analyzer, and the like, depending on an amount of security desired for the system 100. In one embodiment, users 105 can be required to register before using device 110, where user 105 images and other biometric data is captured during the registration process for later use. The additional verification elements are not limited to biometrics, and pass codes, personal identification numbers (PINS), and the like can also be used.
Other optional verification processes can compare content from the document 109 extracted by content extraction engine 123 against an authority source. The authority source is indicated as a remotely located verification server 160 attached to the device 110 via network 140. Server 160 can include a data store 162, which can maintain a valid identification table 164. For example, the verification server 160 can be a Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) server, which maintains access to driver's license information for every license carrier. Content extracted from the scanned document 109 can be compared against equivalent elements in the table 164. For example, when no valid driver's license number is found in table 164, then the identification engine 122 can infer that the presented identification document 109 is not authentic. Similarly, attributes, such as an age attribute from the scanned document 109 can be compared against an equivalent element of table 164 to ensure the document 109 contains valid information.
In system 100, a surface based computing device 110 can be any device able to scan an identification document 109 at a security junction, which is able to access a validity of the scanned document 109 so that a secured resource is optionally released to the user 105 depending on processing results. The surface based computing device 110 can be a surface able to recognize physical objects, including an identification document 109, and to perform programmatic actions including verification/security actions pertaining to the document 109 involving the physical object. A surface based computing device 110 can be an enhancement of an otherwise ordinary tabletop which changes the "tabletop surface" into a vibrant, dynamic surface that provides effortless interaction with digital content through natural gestures, touch and physical objects. Surface computing device 110 integrates a variety of input and detection devices to permit "intuitive" interactions that do not involve traditional input devices, such as a mouse and keyboard. One implementation of a surface based computing device 110 is produced by MICROSOFT and is referred to presently as MICROSOFT SURFACE. The surface based computing device 110 is not limited to implementation specifics of the MICROSOFT SURFACE standard, but includes any set of standards, which together form a surface computing device. Software/firmware 111 of device 110 can include an identity verification application 120, which includes an identification engine 122 and/or a content extraction engine 123. Hardware 112 of device 110 can include the scanning device 124, a transceiver 125 for network 140 communications, and/or an image capture device 126.
Scanning device 124 can be any device capable of visually capturing details of identification 109 and encoding the captured details in a digital form for later processing. The scanning device 124 can utilize any scanning technology, such as optical character recognition (OCR) techniques, to extract meaning from the document 109.
The data stores 152, 162 can be physically implemented within any type of hardware including, but not limited to, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a semiconductor memory, a digitally encoded plastic memory, or any other recording medium. Each of the data stores 152, 162 can be a stand-alone storage unit as well as a storage unit formed from a plurality of physical devices which may be remotely located from one another. Additionally, information can be stored within the data stores 152, 162 in a variety of manners. For example, information can be stored within a database structure, such as table 153 and 164 information, or can be stored within one or more files of a file storage system where each file may or may not be indexed for information searching purposes. Information stored in data stores 152, 162 can also be optionally encrypted for added security.
The network 140 can include components capable of conveying digital content encoded within carrier waves. The content can be contained within analog or digital signals and conveyed through data or voice channels and can be conveyed over a personal area network (PAN) or a wide area network (WAN). The network 140 can include local components and data pathways necessary for communications to be exchanged among computing device components and between integrated device components and peripheral devices. The network 140 can also include network equipment, such as routers, data lines, hubs, and intermediary servers which together form a packet-based network, such as the Internet or an intranet. The network 140 can further include circuit-based communication components and mobile communication components, such as telephony switches, modems, cellular communication towers, and the like. The network 140 can include line based and/or wireless communication pathways.
The interface 200 can request 204 a user to present an identification document within a designated detection area 205 of a surface-computing device. Once placed in the detection area 205, the identification document can be scanned and processed. Results of the processing can be displayed 210 to a user along with additional requirements as necessary. Additional verification information may be required in some embodiment, which a user can provide through any suitable input mechanism, such as keypad 215 for a PIN, a finger print reader for a fingerprint, and the like. When a user's image is captured, the image can be played back to the user in image preview 202. A user can be informed that their image 202 is stored for a period of time until the transaction occurring via interface 200 has been successfully verified. Additionally, measures can be taken to ensure the image 202 is not easily faked, such as through use of a photograph or other still. For example, the surface based computing device can require the image in preview 202 to change over time, such as in a manner consistent with images that change when users currently utilize a Web-camera or other such image capture device.
In step 325, the computing device can scan the identification document. In step 330, the computing device can consult a database of identification types and retrieve determining characteristics of the identification document's type. The consulted database can be located on the surface base computing device, on a peripheral data store connected to the computing device, or on a network data store linked to the computing device. The type of document can be automatically determined by the computing device using recognition technologies such as optical character recognition (OCR) after scanning the document and extracting text from the document. For example, step 330 can determine a scanned document is an Ohio driver's license. In step 335, the computing device can compare the scan's results to the database derived characteristics. For example, when the scanned identification was determined to be an Ohio driver's license, the characteristics returned from the database can specify the elements, element arrangements, and relative positions of elements that are appropriate for an Ohio driver's license, which is compared against the scanned identification.
In step 335, if the comparison fails, method 300 can return to step 315, where the user can be prompted again for identification by an application running on a surface based computing device. The method 300 repeats back to step 315 to ensure the document was properly placed upon the surface based device during the scan. After a number of incorrect attempts, the scanning attempt can fail and access to a secured resource can be denied. In step 335, if the comparison succeeds, method 300 can continue to step 340, where the document can appear to be valid.
In step 345, the computing device can use optical character recognition (OCR) to recognize the content of the document. In step 350, the computing device can search a network source to obtain content associated with the identification document and the scanned content can be compared against the content from the source. For example, a Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) database can be searched to ensure a scanned driver's license number is valid and is associated with an individual specified by the scanned documents. Other scanned attributes, such as date of birth, can also be validated against content contained in a validation source (e.g., DMV database).
In step 355, the computing device can optionally capture a picture of the user, using an image capturing device. In step 360, the acquired picture can be compared to a photo stored over a network source and/or a photo included in the scanned document. If in step 360, the comparison fails, method 300 can return to step 315, where the user can be prompted again for identification from a surface based computing device.
If in step 360 the comparison succeeds, method 300 can continue to step 365, where the automated verification can succeed. In step 370, additional human verification can be optionally required. For example, humans are particularly good at identifying a texture and "face validity" of an identification document, which an automated system may not be able to discern. If in step 370 human verification is not required, method 300 can return and end in step 365, where the verification can succeed.
If in step 365, human verification is required, method 300 can continue to step 375, where a human agent can be optionally prompted with the attributes of the identification document to analyze. For example, a human agent can be shown a valid identification document of a type similar to that produced, where elements to check, such as holographic elements, are highlighted. In step 380, the agent can attempt to verify the attributes or otherwise verify the identification document. If in step 380, the agent verifies the identification as valid, method 300 can return and end in step 365, where the document can be successfully verified. If in step 380, the agent does not verify the identification as valid, method 300 can return to step 315, where the user can be prompted again to use the surface based computing device to identify the document (or a different identification document).
The present invention may be realized in hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software. The present invention may be realized in a centralized fashion in one computer system, or in a distributed fashion where different elements are spread across several interconnected computer systems. Any kind of computer system or other apparatus adapted for carrying out the methods described herein is suited. A typical combination of hardware and software may be a general purpose computer system with a computer program that, when being loaded and executed, controls the computer system such that it carries out the methods described herein.
The present invention also may be embedded in a computer program product, which comprises all the features enabling the implementation of the methods described herein, and which when loaded in a computer system is able to carry out these methods. Computer program in the present context means any expression, in any language, code or notation, of a set of instructions intended to cause a system having an information processing capability to perform a particular function either directly or after either or both of the following: a) conversion to another language, code or notation; b) reproduction in a different material form.
This invention may be embodied in other forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. Accordingly, reference should be made to the following claims, rather than to the foregoing specification, as indicating the scope of the invention.
