Wearable device with user authentication interface
First Claim
1. A wearable device comprising:
- a non-transitory memory; and
one or more first hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the wearable device to perform operations comprising;
determining, via a sensor coupled to the wearable device, that the wearable device is with a user; and
transmitting, to a user device via a network, a first wireless signal associated with the wearable device that causes a first account associated with the user to be authenticated based on a first authentication level,wherein the first authentication level is user customizable through the user device,wherein the first account is determined based on a first combination of the first wireless signal and a second wireless signal from a second wearable device including one or more second hardware processors, the first wireless signal indicating a first presence of the wearable device on the user and the second wireless signal indicating a second presence of the second wearable device on the user,wherein the first account is different from a second account, the second account is associated with a second authentication level, and the second authentication level is different than the first authentication level, andwherein the second account is determined based on a second combination of the first wireless signal and a third wireless signal from a third wearable device including one or more third hardware processors, the third wireless signal indicating a third presence of the third wearable device on the user.

Abstract
A wearable device is used to authenticate a user into a user account at a user device of the user. In particular, the wearable device may include a sensor configured to detect whether the wearable device is worn by or is with the user. If so, the wearable device may send a signal to the user device and the user device may authenticate the user based on the signal received from the wearable device. For example, when the sensor detects that the wearable device is worn by the user, the wearable device may send a unique signal periodically, such as every five seconds or every 10 seconds. Based on whether the unique signal from the wearable device is received, the user device may authenticate the user.

14. A device comprising:
-
a non-transitory memory; and one or more hardware processors coupled to the non-transitory memory and configured to read instructions from the non-transitory memory to cause the device to perform operations comprising; receiving, from a first wearable device including one or more first hardware processors via a network, a first wearable device signal, the first wearable device signal indicating a first presence of the first wearable device on a user; receiving, from a second wearable device including one or more second hardware processors via the network, a second wearable device signal, the second wearable device signal indicating a second presence of the second wearable device on the user; determining to authenticate the user for use of a first user account; based on the determining, determining a first authentication level, the first authentication level being customizable by the user; and authenticating the user for use of the first user account based on a first combination of the first wearable device signal and the second wearable device signal and the determined first authentication level, wherein the first user account is different from a second user account, the user is authenticated for use of the second user account when a second combination including the first wearable device signal and a third wearable device signal is received, and wherein the third wearable device signal indicates a third presence of the third wearable device on the user, the third wearable device including one or more third hardware processors. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method comprising:
-
receiving, from a first wearable device via a network, a first wearable device signal, the first wearable device signal indicating the first wearable device is being worn by a user; receiving, from a second wearable device including one or more second hardware processors via the network, a second wearable device signal, the second wearable device signal indicating the second wearable device is being worn by the user; determining to authenticate the user for use of a first user account; based on the determining, determining a first authentication level, the first authentication level being customizable by the user; and authenticating the user of a user device for use of the first user account based on a first combination of the first wearable device signal and second wearable device signal and the determined first authentication level, wherein the first user account is different from a second user account, the user is authenticated for use of the second user account when a second combination including the first wearable device signal and a third wearable device signal is received, and wherein the third wearable device signal indicates from a third wearable device including one or more third hardware processors is being worn by the user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
