The patent US12045386B2 outlines a method and system for capturing an image of a user's eye using a user device equipped with a camera. The process begins with the user device receiving a request from a remote server to capture the image, facilitated through an encrypted bi-directional communication link. Upon receiving authorization to activate the camera, the device uses a facial recognition module to detect the distance between the user's eye and the camera. Based on this distance, the system adjusts the camera's zoom level to focus on the eye. If the zoom level is inadequate, the user is prompted to adjust their distance from the camera. The final image is captured and transmitted back to the remote server, ensuring data anonymity throughout the process.

Additionally, the patent includes provisions for detecting the type of user device—whether portable or non-portable—and selecting a pre-set zoom level accordingly. The system can also adjust various camera properties, such as exposure, saturation, sharpness, and brightness, prior to capturing the image. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the quality of the captured image while maintaining user privacy and data security. The patent emphasizes the importance of user interaction and device adaptability in achieving optimal imaging results.
