Abstract
A device and method for unobtrusively conducting security access checks via biometric data. The device and method obtains biometric data in response to a request for content and initiates a security clearance process that is substantially unobservable to an individual with clearance to access the requested content.
Claims33
A method for providing content on a device comprising:
- detecting a content request on the device;
- and
- allowing access to the requested content or restricting access to the requested content in response to a visual or audio recognition process that identifies the current access privileges of a current user of the device.
A content presentation device including:
- a processor;
- a display;
- and
- memory;
- the memory storing software thereon, that when invoked by the processor cause the processor to:
- detect a content request on the device;
- and
- allow access to the requested content or restricting access to the requested content in response to a visual or audio recognition process that identifies access privileges of a current user of the device.
5 more elements
A method for providing content on a device comprising:
- logging a first user into the device;
- post log-in of the first user, and in response to a request for content, performing at least one of a visual or audio recognition process on a current user of the device;
- and
- preventing displaying of the content on the device in response to determining that the current user is different from the first user, the determining being based on the post-log-in visual or audio recognition process performed on the current user of the device.
1 more element
A computer readable medium having non-transitory instructions thereon, that when interpreted by a processor, cause the processor to:
- detect a content request on the device;
- and
- allow access to the requested content or restrict access to the requested content in response to a visual or audio recognition process that identifies the current access privileges of a current user of the device.
