USER AUTHENTICATION BASED ON BODY TREMORS

摘要

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method is implemented by a mobile computing device to authenticate a user. A first signal indicative of a body tremor of a limb holding the mobile computing device is detected. A second signal indicative of a body tremor of a limb to which a separate wearable computing device is secured is also detected. Based on a comparison of the body tremors, a determination is made as to whether the limbs are the same limb. A user account associated with the wearable computing device is authenticated based on the determining indicating that the limbs are the same limb.
