Abstract
According to one embodiment, an input device includes: a communication module configured to communicate with a different device connected to the input device; a detector configured to detect biological information of a user; an authentication module configured to check matching between the detected biological information and biological information which is stored in advance; and a controller configured to notify to the different device information indicating a device performing an operation input, and notify to the different device an input code formed as a predetermined input character string when the matching of the biological information is established.
Claims11
An input device comprising:
- a communication module configured to communicate with a different device connected to the input device;
- a detector configured to detect biological information of a user;
- an authentication module configured to check matching between the detected biological information and biological information which is stored in advance;
- and
- a controller configured to notify to the different device information indicating a device performing an operation input, and notify to the different device an input code formed as a predetermined input character string when the matching of the biological information is established.
An input method comprising
- communicating with a different device connected to the input device;
- detecting biological information of a user;
- checking matching between the detected biological information and biological information which is stored in advance;
- and
- notifying to the different device information indicating a device performing an operation input, and notifying to the different device an input code formed as a predetermined input character string when the matching of the biological information is established.
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium including programmed instructions, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:
- communicating with a different device connected to the input device;
- detecting biological information of a user;
- checking matching between the detected biological information and biological information which is stored in advance;
- and
- notifying to the different device information indicating a device performing an operation input, and notifying to the different device an input code formed as a predetermined input character string when the matching of the biological information is established.
