Method for controlling intelligent electronic device and computer-readable medium including program code for performing the method

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that cause an intelligent electronic device to perform a method comprising;

• initiating implicit continuous authentication for repeatedly authenticating a user of the intelligent electronic device based on one or more of a behavior pattern of the user, a usage pattern of the intelligent electronic device, biometric information and a user profile, without requiring explicit input initiated by the user;
• obtaining sensor data from at least one sensor;
• classifying a current security level of the intelligent electronic device to be set to one of a first security level and a second security level based on the sensor data, the second security level having a higher level of security than the first security level;
• in response to the current security level being set to the first security level, setting a first authentication period for repeating initiation of the implicit continuous authentication;
• and
• in response to the current security level being set to the second security level, setting a second authentication period for repeating initiation of the implicit continuous authentication, the second authentication period being shorter than the first authentication period.

A method of controlling an intelligent electronic device, the method comprising:

• initiating implicit continuous authentication for repeatedly authenticating a user of the intelligent electronic device based on one or more of a behavior pattern of the user, a usage pattern of the intelligent electronic device, biometric information and a user profile, without requiring explicit input initiated by the user;
• obtaining sensor data from at least one sensor;
• classifying a current security level of the intelligent electronic device to be set to one of a first security level and a second security level based on the sensor data, the second security level having a higher level of security than the first security level;
• in response to the current security level being set to the first security level, setting a first authentication period for repeating initiation of the implicit continuous authentication;
• in response to the current security level being set to the second security level;
• setting a second authentication period for repeating initiation of the implicit continuous authentication, the second authentication period being shorter than the first authentication period;
• checking a previous security level of the intelligent electronic device and the current security level of the intelligent electronic device;
• in response to the previous security level and the current security level both being the first security level, increasing an amount of time for the first authentication period to be longer based on a predetermined value;
• and
• in response to the previous security level and the current security level both being the second security level, decreasing an amount of time for the second authentication period to be shorter based on the predetermined value.
