BIOMETRIC SECURITY AND AUTHENTICATION FOR A MOBILE DEVICE

摘要

Methods and systems for authorizing a wireless device via biometrics. A biometric interface permits a user to enter via the biometric interface, one or more biometric attributes employable for authorizing the wireless device for use by the user. The biometric interface is displayable via a display associated with the wireless device. A user can be prompted to enter his or her biometric attribute(s) via the biometric interface displayed via the wireless device (e.g., Smartphone, tablet computing device, etc.). A sensor communicates electronically with the biometric interface and detects and analyzes the biometric attribute(s) entered by the user via the biometric interface to verify that the biometric attribute(s) is associated with the user. The wireless device is authorized as associated with the user, if it is verified that the biometric attribute(s) is associated with the user, in response to detecting and analyzing the biometric attribute(s) via the sensor.

主权项

1. A system for authorizing a wireless device via biometrics, said apparatus comprising:
a biometric interface that permits a user to enter via said biometric interface at least one biometric attribute employable for authorizing said wireless device for use by said user, said biometric interface displayable via a display associated with said wireless device, wherein a user is prompted to enter said at least one biometric attribute via said biometric interface displayed via said wireless device; and a sensor that communicates electronically with said biometric interface and which detects and analyzes said at least one biometric attribute entered by said user via said biometric interface to verify that said at least one biometric attribute is associated with said user, wherein said wireless device is authorized as associated with said user if it is verified that said at least one biometric attribute is associated with said user, in response to detecting and analyzing said at least one biometric attribute via said sensor.
