Abstract
A method of authorizing and/or authenticating a user includes: obtaining a first pressure profile of the user, the first pressure profile including at least a temporal pressure profile component; comparing at least one feature of the first pressure profile to at least one feature of a previously obtained pressure profile of the user, the previously obtained pressure profile including at least a temporal pressure profile component; and authorizing and/or authenticating the user if the at least one feature of the first pressure profile and the at least one feature of the previously obtained pressure profile match within a predefined threshold.
Claims19
A method of authorizing and/or authenticating a user, comprising:
- obtaining a first pressure profile of the user, the first pressure profile including at least a temporal pressure profile component;
- comparing at least one feature of the first pressure profile to at least one feature of a previously obtained pressure profile of the user, the previously obtained pressure profile including at least a temporal pressure profile component;
- and
- authorizing and/or authenticating the user if the at least one feature of the first pressure profile and the at least one feature of the previously obtained pressure profile match within a predefined threshold.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a display or touchpad that includes an array having a plurality of pressure sensors, wherein the pressure sensors are configured to output an electrical signal to the processor based on a pressure applied thereon;
- a computer-readable storage medium having instructions recorded thereon, the instructions when executed by the processor implementing a method comprising:
- obtaining a first pressure profile of a user, the first pressure profile including at least a temporal pressure profile component;
- comparing at least one feature of the first pressure profile to at least one feature of a previously obtained pressure profile of the user, the previously obtained pressure profile including at least a temporal pressure profile component;
- and
- authorizing and/or authenticating the user if the at least one feature of the first pressure profile and the at least one feature of the previously obtained pressure profile match within a predefined threshold.
