SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GRANTING ACCESS TO A COMPUTING DEVICE USING A WEARABLE DEVICE

摘要

Certain embodiments herein relate to authenticating access to a computing device by a user. Such authentication can be performed by processing information received from a wearable device transmitting a signal, including access credentials data, through the user's body to a computing device in electrical contact with the computing device. The computing device can process the received signal to extract the access credentials data. Upon validating the extracted access credentials data, the computing device can grant a user access to the computing device. In some embodiments, the computing device can additionally receive biometric data acquired from the user by the computing device. In such embodiments, the computing device can grant the user access to the computing device if the received access credentials data and the received biometric data are authenticated.

主权项

1. A wearable device comprising:
a memory having computer instructions and access credentials data stored thereon; a processor configured to access the memory and execute the computer instructions to:
receive, via a first interface in contact with a first portion of a user's body, a signal from a wearable device interrogator of a computing device;generate, based at least in part on the first signal, a second signal carrying the access credentials data; andtransmit, via a second interface in contact with a second portion of the user's body, the second signal to the wearable device interrogator for authentication of the access credentials data.
