System, Method And Authorization Device For Biometric Access Control To Digital Devices

摘要

A system and method for authenticating and continuously verifying authorized users of a digital device includes an authentication device attached to an arm or wrist of authorized users. The authentication device has an accelerometer, digital radio, a processor configured to provide identity information over the radio, and to transmit motion data. The motion data is received by the digital device and the identity transmitted is verified as an identity associated with an authorized user. Input at a touchscreen, touchpad, mouse, trackball, or keyboard of the digital device is detected, and correlated with the motion data. Access to the digital device is allowed if the detected input and the detected motion data correlate, and disallowed otherwise.

1. A method for authenticating and continuously verifying an authorized user of a digital device comprising:
attaching an authentication device to an arm or wrist of the authorized user, the authentication device comprising:
at least one accelerometer;a digital radio; anda processor configured to provide identity information associated with the authentication device over the digital radio, and to transmit motion data, the motion data comprising data selected from the group consisting of data including readings from the at least one accelerometer, and motion characteristic data derived from readings from the at least one accelerometer; receiving and verifying the identity information transmitted by the authentication device as an identity associated with an authorized user; detecting input at an input apparatus selected from the group consisting of a touchscreen, touchpad, mouse, and a keyboard of the digital device; correlating the detected input with the motion data; and permitting access to the digital device if the detected input and the motion data correlate, and disallowing access if the detected input and the motion data fail to correlate.
