User identification in cell phones based on skin contact
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
obtaining touch data from a sensor of a user equipment relating to a touching of the user equipment, wherein the touch data comprises body mass index data representative of a body mass index of a first user identity;
based on the body mass index data, determining that the user equipment is not being utilized in association with the first user identity, and reducing a volume associated with a ringer of the user equipment from a first volume to a second volume lower than the first volume; and
in response to the reducing the volume, assigning a guest user identity to an unauthorized second user identity based on the body mass index data.

Abstract
Screen time-outs on a portable electronic device can be customized based on user activity. In one aspect, a sensing component receives data from one or more sensors located on the portable electronic device, for example, skin conductivity sensors and determines whether the user is using the portable device, either actively or passively and also determines the identity of the user. A configuring component is employed to change one or more features or functions of the portable electronic device based on the information determined by the sensing component. In particular, the configuring component changes one of more features of the portable electronic device based on the preferences predefined by the identified user and device usage (active and passive usage).

9. A method, comprising:
-
verifying, by a mobile device comprising a processor, that the mobile device is not being utilized in connection with a first user identity associated with a first user; based on body mass index data received from a sensor of the mobile device, determining, by the mobile device, that the mobile device is being utilized in connection with a second user identity associated with a second user; in response to the determining that the mobile device is being utilized in connection with the second user identity, determining, by the mobile device, that the second user identity is not an authorized user identity; and based on the determining that the second user identity is not the authorized user identity; adjusting, by the mobile device, a ringer volume associated with the mobile device from a first volume to a second volume, and based on the body mass index data, assigning, by the mobile device, a guest user identity to the second user identity. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
based on first measurement data received from a sensor of a communication device, wherein the first measurement data comprises first body mass index data representative of a first body mass index, verifying that the communication device is not being utilized in association with a first user identity of the communication device; based on second measurement data received from the sensor of the communication device, wherein the second measurement data comprises second body mass index data representative of a second body mass index, determining that the second measurement data is associated with a second user identity of the communication device, wherein the second user identity is determined to be an unauthorized user identity; in response to the determining, adjusting a ringer volume associated with a ringer of the communication device; and in response to the adjusting the ringer volume, assigning a guest user identity to the second user identity. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
