Abstract
A device for removing security on content using biometric information includes a memory configured to store content on which security has been set based on first biometric information of a user; and a controller configured to obtain second biometric information of the user, which is of a different type than the first biometric information, and remove the security on the content based on the second biometric information, in response to a user input for executing the content.
Claims30
A device for removing security on content using second biometric information, the device comprising:
- a memory configured to store content;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- set security on the content based on first biometric information of a user,
- in response to a first user input for executing the content, receive a second user input selecting the second biometric information of the user, the second biometric information being different from the first biometric information,
- based on receiving the second user input, obtain the second biometric information, and
- remove the security on the content based on the received second biometric information without using the first biometric information,
- wherein the second user input comprises a user input selecting a type of the second biometric information from among a plurality of types of biometric information presented to the user.
A device for logging in to a server using biometric information, the device comprising:
- a communicator configured to communicate with the server located outside the device;
- and
- at least one processor configured to log in to the server based on first biometric information of a user, and after the device is logged off from the server, to receive a user input selecting second biometric information of the user, the second biometric information being different from the first biometric information, based on receiving the user input, to obtain the second biometric information of the user, to obtain a password related to the second biometric information without using the first biometric information, to transmit the password to the server through the communicator, and to re-login to the server when the user is authenticated using the password,
- wherein the user input comprises a user input selecting a type of the second biometric information from among a plurality of types of biometric information presented to the user.
A method of removing security on content using second biometric information, the method comprising:
- storing content on which security is set based on first biometric information of a user;
- in response to a first user input for executing the content, receiving a second user input selecting the second biometric information of the user, the second biometric information being different from the first biometric information;
- based on receiving the second user input, obtaining the second biometric information;
- and
- removing the security on the content based on the received second biometric information without using the first biometric information,
- wherein the second user input comprises a user input selecting a type of the second biometric information from among a plurality of types of biometric information presented to the user.
A method of logging in to a server using biometric information, the method comprising:
- logging in to the server based on first biometric information of a user;
- receiving a user input selecting second biometric information of the user, the second biometric information being different from the first biometric information;
- based on receiving the user input, obtaining the second biometric information of the user when logged off from the server;
- obtaining a password related to the second biometric information without using the first biometric information;
- transmitting the password to the server;
- and
- re-logging in to the server when the user is authenticated using the password transmitted to the server,
- wherein the user input comprises a user input selecting a type of the second biometric information from among a plurality of types of biometric information presented to the user.
A method of managing security of a content stored on a first device, the method comprising:
- obtaining first biometric information;
- receiving a user input selecting second biometric information;
- based on receiving the user input, receiving from a second device the second biometric information;
- setting security on the content based on the obtained first biometric information and the received second biometric information;
- and
- removing the security from the content based on the second biometric information without using the first biometric information,
- wherein the user input comprises a user input selecting a type of the second biometric information from among a plurality of types of biometric information presented to the user.
A method of managing security of a content stored on a first device, the method comprising:
- obtaining first biometric information;
- setting security on the content based on the first biometric information;
- receiving a user input selecting second biometric information;
- based on receiving the user input, receiving from a second device the second biometric information;
- and
- removing the security from the content based on the second biometric information without using the first biometric information,
- wherein the user input comprises a user input selecting a type of the second biometric information from among a plurality of types of biometric information presented to the user.
