Abstract
A device includes an access control element to compare new acceleration data from an accelerometer with registered gait signature associated with an authorized user of a mobile device to determine the identity of the user of the mobile device.
Claims15
An apparatus comprising:
- an identification logic to compare new acceleration data from an accelerometer in a mobile device with a registered gait signature associated with an authorized user of the mobile device to determine an identity of the user of the device.
A system comprising:
- a portable device including an accelerometer coupled to a security module and a first memory;
- a transmitter to transmit acceleration data from the portable device to a server;
- a comparison logic to determine if the acceleration data matches a characteristic gait signature of the user;
- and
- a security logic to restrict access to the device if the acceleration data does not match characteristic gait data.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- registering a gait signature based on acceleration data associated with a gait;
- collecting acceleration data;
- determining if the acceleration data matches the gait signature;
- and
- authorizing a user to use the device if the acceleration data matches the gait signature.
