Abstract
A verification device provides an approach to identification and authorization by requiring an authorized presence before permitting the input of a sequence of signals. Furthermore, the device may be configured to recognize incorrect inputs, and to respond by transmitting an alert code while providing limited functionality to convince an authorized user that access has been granted until a location of the device has been determined.
Claims16
A device, comprising:
- a first exterior surface positioned on a first side of the device;
- a second exterior surface positioned on the first side of the device;
- a fixed third exterior surface positioned on the first side of the device, the third exterior surface offset from the first exterior surface and the second exterior surface in a direction perpendicular to the first exterior surface and the second exterior surface such that the third exterior surface is positioned further from a second, opposite side of the device than the first exterior surface and the second exterior surface;
- a first fingerprint sensor positioned on the first exterior surface, wherein the first fingerprint sensor gathers first fingerprint data of a finger of a user that is placed on the first fingerprint sensor;
- a second fingerprint sensor positioned on the second exterior surface, wherein the second fingerprint sensor obtains second fingerprint data from a second finger of the user that is placed on the second fingerprint sensor while the first fingerprint is in contact with the first fingerprint sensor;
- at least one first sensor positioned on a fourth exterior curved surface that is between the first exterior surface and the third exterior surface in a side view of the first exterior surface, the second exterior surface, and the third exterior surface from a direction that is parallel to the first exterior surface, the second exterior surface, and the third exterior surface;
- and
- at least one second sensor positioned on a fifth curved exterior surface between the second exterior surface and the first exterior surface, wherein the at least one first and second sensor detect pressure data indicating movement of the finger of the user;
- at least one third and fourth sensor positioned on opposite curved sides of the second fingerprint sensor, wherein the third and fourth sensors detect pressure data indicating movement of the second finger of the user;
- wherein the first and second fingerprint data gathered by the first and second fingerprint sensors are analyzed to identify the user and determine if the first and second fingerprint data of the user is recognized,
- wherein after determining that the first and second fingerprint data is recognized, the first, second, third and fourth sensors obtain a sequence of pressure actuations from the pressure data comprising pressure actuations from more than one finger of the user and the sequence of pressure actuations from the pressure data is compared against an authorization sequence and an alert code, wherein the user is determined to be authorized for full access when the sequence of pressure actuations match the authorization code and the user is determined to be under active threat and only granted limited access when the sequence of pressure actuations matches the alert code.
