Communication system providing wireless authentication for private data access and related methods

摘要

A communication system may include a server configured to provide data access based upon an authenticated logon, and a computer configured to access the server to receive a temporary authenticated logon identification (ID) for the server. The communication system may further include a mobile wireless communications device including a housing, a wireless transceiver carried by the housing, a sensor carried by the housing, and a controller carried by the housing, the controller being coupled to the wireless transceiver and the sensor. The controller may be configured to cause the sensor to wirelessly retrieve the temporary authenticated logon ID from the computer, and cause the wireless transceiver to wirelessly communicate logon data to the server for providing data access via the computer based upon the temporary authenticated logon ID.

主权项

1. A communication system comprising:
a server configured to provide data access based upon an authenticated logon; a computer configured to access said server to receive a temporary authenticated logon identification (ID) for said server, said computer having a computer identifier associated therewith; and a mobile wireless communications device comprising
a housing,a wireless transceiver carried by said housing, said wireless transceiver being configured to wirelessly communicate with said server,a sensor carried by said housing, anda controller carried by said housing, said controller being coupled to said wireless transceiver and said sensor, said controller being configured to:
cause said sensor to wirelessly retrieve the temporary authenticated logon ID and the computer identifier from said computer terminal, andcause said wireless transceiver to wirelessly communicate logon and instruction data to said server to cause said server to temporarily provide data access via said computer terminal until said mobile wireless communications device moves away from said computer terminal, the logon data being based upon the temporary authenticated logon ID and the computer identifier.
