Abstract
A method of authenticating access to an electrical device. The method comprises comparing, at an electronic processor, one or more patterns of temporal or physical properties, associated with an access entry string, to a non-transitory electronic profile data base of ranges of the corresponding patterns, from previously approved access entry strings. The method also comprises approving or denying at the electronic processor, the access entry string. The access entry string is approved if the one or more patterns falls within the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base. The access entry string is denied if the one or more patterns falls outside the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base.

A method of authenticating access to an electrical device, comprising:
- comparing, at an electronic processor, one or more patterns of temporal or physical properties, associated with an access entry string, to a non-transitory electronic profile data base of ranges of the corresponding patterns, from previously approved access entry strings;
- and either:
- approving, at the electronic processor, the access entry string, if the one or more patterns falls within the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base, or,
- denying, at the electronic processor, the access entry string if the one or more patterns falls outside the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base wherein, the patterns of physical properties includes both of:
- an average fingertip temperature measured while inputting all or a portion of the access entry string into a user interface device of the electrical device, and,
- an ambient temperature in the vicinity of a geolocation of the electrical device at the time the access entry string was provided.
A system for authenticating access to an electrical device, comprising:
- an electronic processor, configured to:
- compare one or more patterns of temporal or physical properties, associated with an access entry string, to a non-transitory electronic profile data base of ranges of the corresponding patterns, recorded from previously approved access entry strings;
- and either:
- approve the access entry string if the one or more patterns falls within the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base, or,
- deny the access entry string if the one or more patterns falls outside the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base wherein, the patterns of physical properties includes both of:
- an average fingertip temperature measured while inputting all or a portion of the access entry string into a user interface device of the electrical device, and,
- an ambient temperature in the vicinity of a geolocation of the electrical device at the time the access entry string was provided.
An access authentication tool, comprising:
- a non-transitory electronic processor-readable medium for embodying a program for inputting to an electronic processor;
- and
- a program embodied in the electronic processor-readable medium for causing the electronic processor to implement an access authentication program, including:
- comparing one or more patterns of temporal or physical properties associated with an access entry string, to a non-transitory electronic profile data base of ranges of the corresponding patterns, recorded from previously approved access entry strings;
- and either:
- approving the access entry string, if the one or more patterns falls within the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base, or,
- denying the access entry string if the one or more patterns falls outside the respective range of the corresponding patterns in the profile data base wherein, the patterns of physical properties includes both of:
- an average fingertip temperature measured while inputting all or a portion of the access entry string into a user interface device of the electrical device, and,
- an ambient temperature in the vicinity of a geolocation of the electrical device at the time the access entry string was provided.
