Method, apparatus, and non-transitory machine-readable storage medium for continuous proximity-based authentification

Abstract

Provided is a computer-readable medium including computer-readable instructions. When the instructions are executed by a computer, the computer may implement a method. According to this method, a first group of distance-related information associated with a first proximity detection device and a user over a period of time is obtained. Furthermore, based on the first group of distance-related information, first proximity information indicating whether the first proximity detection device is proximate to the user is determined. Moreover, the first proximity information is used for authentication.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
