1. A computerized data processing method to control access to consumer devices, the method comprising:
- collecting, as a consumer device is being accessed by a user, a plurality of user-specific parameter values;
determining that the plurality of user-specific parameter values was collected in an adverse environment;
determining a ranking for the plurality of user-specific parameter values, which are collected as the consumer device is being accessed, by;
in the ranking, assigning high ranks to one or more first values, from the plurality of user-specific parameter values, obtained as results of a contact with a sensor, andin the ranking, assigning low ranks to one or more second values, of the plurality of user-specific parameter values, obtained as results of an object scanning;
based on the ranking, selecting, from the plurality of user-specific parameter values, at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values that have the highest ranks;
determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong;
for each of the two or more parameter categories, retrieving, from a reference database, at least one user-specific reference value that belongs to a parameter category of the two or more parameter categories and that has been stored in the reference database for the user;
for each of the two or more parameter categories, determining whether any of the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values matches the at least one user-specific reference value that belongs to a parameter category of the two or more parameter categories; and
in response to determining, for each of the two or more parameter categories, that at least one of the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values matches the at least one user-specific reference value that belongs to a parameter category of the two or more parameter categories, granting, to the user, access to the consumer device.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for determining two or more user-specific parameters that can be measured or obtained using various methods, and using values of the two or more user-specific parameters to uniquely identify or authenticate an individual. Examples of the user-specific parameters may include biometric parameters, textual-based parameters, a combination of biometric parameters and textual-based parameters, and the like.

9. A computer system comprising:
-
one or more hardware processors; a data collector performing; collecting, as a consumer device is being accessed by a user, a plurality of user-specific parameter values; a computer processor performing; determining that the plurality of user-specific parameter values was collected in an adverse environment; determining a ranking for the plurality of user-specific parameter values, which are collected as the consumer device is being accessed, by; in the ranking, assigning high ranks to one or more first values, from the plurality of user-specific parameter values, obtained as results of a contact with a sensor, and in the ranking, assigning low ranks to one or more second values, of the plurality of user-specific parameter values, obtained as results of an object scanning; based on the ranking, selecting, from the plurality of user-specific parameter values, at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values that have the highest ranks; determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong; for each of the two or more parameter categories, retrieving, from a reference database, at least one user-specific reference value that belongs to a parameter category of the two or more parameter categories and that has been stored in the reference database for the user; for each of the two or more parameter categories, determining whether any of the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values matches the at least one user-specific reference value that belongs to a parameter category of the two or more parameter categories; and in response to determining, for each of the two or more parameter categories, that at least one of the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values matches the at least one user-specific reference value, granting, to the user, access to the consumer device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
