Abstract
A facial recognition authentication on a device having a camera may operate with multiple enrollment profiles on the device. Multiple enrollment profiles may include separate profiles for different appearances of a user and/or separate profiles for different users authorized to use the device. The enrollment profiles may be generated using an enrollment process where the enrollment process is operated separately to generate each of the different enrollment profiles. During the facial recognition authentication process, a user may unlock the device by having a matching score for image(s) captured of the user that that exceeds an unlock threshold for at least one of the enrollment profiles. The user may have a matching score that exceeds the unlock threshold for multiple enrollment profiles. Each enrollment profile unlocks the device for the user may be updated using a template update process that operates independently for each enrollment profile.
