Systems and methods for using haptic vibration for inter device communication

A system comprising:

• at least one sensor to measure a force caused by an external device;
• at least one memory storing:
• a table mapping displacement patterns caused by the external device and a user identifier associated with a user, and
• instructions;
• and
• at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations comprising:
• receiving the user identifier,
• receiving one or more patterns from the sensor, wherein the received one or more patterns comprises at least one force measurement pattern that represents multiple measurements of force over a period of time,
• retrieving a pattern associated with the user identifier from the table,
• assessing a degree of difference between the received one or more pattern and the retrieved pattern, and
• when the degree of difference is below a threshold, authenticating the user.

A method comprising:

• receiving a user identifier associated with a user;
• receiving one or more patterns from a sensor, wherein the received one or more patterns comprises at least one force measurement pattern that represents multiple measurements of force over a period of time;
• retrieving a pattern associated with the user identifier;
• assessing a degree of difference between the received one or more patterns and the retrieved pattern, the assessing indicating that the degree of difference is below a threshold;
• and
• authenticating the user based on the degree of difference being below the threshold.
