Abstract
A system and method for unlocking devices associated with a carrying bag are provided. In example embodiments, biometric information of a user from a biometric reader is received by an authentication system. The biometric reader is located on a pull mechanism of a sliding fastening device for a carrying bag. The user is authenticated by verifying the validity of the biometric information. The authenticated user is associated with the carrying bag. Based on a set of pre-defined permissions, one or more devices associated with the carrying bag are unlocked.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- receiving identification information associated with a user, the identification information detected by a reader located on an opening and closing device of a container, the identification information detected when the opening and closing device of the container is grasped by the user;
- authenticating the user based on the identification information;
- and
- unlocking at least one device associated with the container in response to the authenticating and based on pre-defined permissions associated with the at least one device, wherein the at least one device is separate from the container and is further configured to be stored in the container and taken out of the container.
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing computer-readable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to perform operations including:
- receiving identification information associated with a user, the identification information detected by a reader located on an opening and closing device of a container, the identification information detected when the opening and closing device of the container is grasped by the user;
- authenticating the user based on the identification information;
- and
- unlocking at least one device associated with the container in response to the authenticating and based on pre-defined permissions associated with the at least one device, wherein the at least one device is separate from the container and is further configured to be stored in the container and taken out of the container.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions that are executable by at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- receiving identification information associated with a user, the identification information detected by a reader located on an opening and closing device of a container, the identification information detected when the opening and closing device of the container is grasped by the user;
- authenticating the user based on the identification information;
- and
- unlocking at least one device associated with the container in response to the authenticating and based on pre-defined permissions associated with the at least one device, wherein the at least one device is separate from the container and is further configured to be stored in the container and taken out of the container.
