Method and apparatus for identifying a user of an electronic device using bioelectrical impedance

摘要

A method for identifying a user of an electronic device is presented. In the method, for each of a plurality of users, a bioelectrical impedance of the user is measured, a value based on the measurement is generated, and the value is associated with information corresponding to the user. A bioelectrical impedance of a current user of the electronic device is also measured, and a value based on this measurement is generated. The value associated with the current user is compared with at least one of the values associated with the plurality of users. In response to the comparison, the electronic device is operated based on the information corresponding to one of the plurality of users in response to the current user interacting with the electronic device if the value associated with the current user indicates the current user is the one of the plurality of users.

1. A method of identifying a user of an electronic device, the method comprising:
for each of a plurality of users of the electronic device:
measuring a bioelectrical impedance of the user;generating a value based on the measured bioelectrical impedance of the user; andassociating the value with information corresponding to the user; measuring a bioelectrical impedance of a current user of the electronic device; generating a value based on the measured bioelectrical impedance of the current user; comparing the value associated with the current user with at least one of the values associated with the plurality of users; replacing the value associated with the one of the plurality of users with the value associated with the current user when the value associated with the current user indicates that the current user is the one of the plurality of users; and in response to the comparison, operating the electronic device based on the information corresponding to one of the plurality of users in response to the current user interacting with the electronic device if the value associated with the current user indicates the current user is the one of the plurality of users.
