Fingerprint detecting wireless device
First Claim
1. A computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor-based system cause the processor-based system to:
- receive a request for a use of the processor-based system;
receive fingerprint information;
identify a user of the processor-based system corresponding to the received fingerprint information; and
determine if the requested use of the processor-based system is authorized based on the identified user and parental control information associated with the identified user.

Abstract
A wireless device, such as a remote control unit, may include an internal fingerprint identification unit. The fingerprint identification unit may be arranged to capture the user'"'"'s fingerprint when the user'"'"'s finger is positioned over a button that is substantially radiation transmissive. Radiation directed at the user'"'"'s finger through the button may be captured for image analysis and ultimately for fingerprint identification. Thus, the device may be used to identify users who wish to access a processor-based system such as a processor-based television receiver.

3. A computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor-based system cause the processor-based system to:
-
store information related to a scope of services allowed for a user based on information represented as a parental determination for the user; receive a request for a use of the processor-based system; receive fingerprint information; identify the user of the processor-based system corresponding to the received fingerprint information; and determine if the requested use of the processor-based system is allowed based on the identified user and the stored information related to the scope of services correlated with the identified user. - View Dependent Claims (4, 5, 6)

7. A computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a processor-based system cause the processor-based system to:
-
receive a request for a use of the processor-based system; receive fingerprint information; compare the received fingerprint information against information corresponding to an authorized match; and determine if the requested use of the processor-based system is permitted based on the authorized match and parental control information associated with the authorized match. - View Dependent Claims (8)
