Abstract
Upon determining a first user of an object is authorized via first biometric data, object components are controlled based on user data for the first user. A second user is permitted to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user. Then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, a user status of the second user is determined via second biometric data. The user status is one of authorized or not authorized. The object components are controlled based on the user status of the second user.
Claims20
A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor programmed to:
- upon determining a first user of an object is authorized via first biometric data, control object components based on user data for the first user;
- permit a second user to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user;
- then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, determine a user status of the second user via second biometric data, wherein the user status is one of authorized or not authorized;
- control the object components based on the user status of the second user;
- and
- upon determining that the second user is not authorized, provide, to a remote computer, a current location of the object and a location of the object when the second user accessed to the object.
A method, comprising:
- upon determining a first user of an object is authorized via first biometric data, controlling object components based on user data for the first user;
- permitting a second user to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user;
- then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, determining a user status of the second user via second biometric data, wherein the user status is one of authorized or not authorized;
- controlling the object components based on the user status of the second user;
- and
- upon determining the delay parameter is not satisfied, controlling the object components based on temporary user data.
A system, comprising a computer including a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor programmed to:
- upon determining a first user of an object is authorized via first biometric data, control object components based on user data for the first user;
- permit a second user to access the object based on detecting a presence of the second user within a predetermined time of detecting an absence of the first user;
- then, upon determining a delay parameter is satisfied, determine a user status of the second user via second biometric data, wherein the user status is one of authorized or not authorized;
- control the object components based on the user status of the second user;
- upon detecting the first user after determining the delay parameter is satisfied, control the object components based on the user data for the first user when the user status for the second user is not authorized.
