Abstract
A method for user authentication in an electronic device includes: detecting at least one rotation of the electronic device; obtaining at least one rotation angle based on the detected at least one rotation; obtaining at least one code based on the at least one rotation angle and a user authentication angle, the user authentication angle being obtained from a user gaze point that is set, and storing the at least one code as an authentication code; and unlocking the electronic device in response to an input of a code matching the authentication code.
Claims18
A method for user authentication in an electronic device, comprising:
- recognizing a point at which a user gazes and setting the recognized point as a user gaze point;
- obtaining a user authentication angle corresponding to the user gaze point;
- detecting at least one rotation of the electronic device;
- obtaining at least one rotation angle based on the detected at least one rotation;
- obtaining at least one code based on the at least one rotation angle and the user authentication angle, and storing the at least one code as an authentication code;
- and
- unlocking the electronic device in response to an input of a code matching the authentication code.
An electronic device comprising:
- a camera configured to recognize a gaze of a user;
- a sensor unit configured to detect at least one rotation of the electronic device;
- a processor configured to recognize a point at which a user gazes and to set the recognized point as a user gaze point, configured to obtain a user authentication angle corresponding to the user gaze point, configured to obtain at least one rotation angle based on the detected at least one rotation, configured to obtain at least one code based on the at least one rotation angle and the user authentication angle, configured to store the at least one code as an authentication code, and configured to unlock the electronic device in response to an input of a code matching the authentication code;
- and
- a storage unit configured to store the authentication code.
