BIOMETRIC SENSOR FOR HUMAN PRESENCE DETECTION AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a communications interface;
a user prompting device;
a biometric sensor;
a controller cooperating with said communications interface, user prompting device, and biometric sensor forperforming biometric spoof detection with said biometric sensor,receiving a request for human presence verification from a remote device via said communications interface,prompting the user with said user prompting device for a verification action using said biometric sensor based upon receiving the request for human presence verification,determining that the user has completed the verification action using said biometric sensor in response to the prompting and based upon the biometric spoof detection, andsending a response to the remote device via said communications interface and based upon determining that the user has completed the verification action.

Abstract
An electronic device may include a communications interface, a user prompting device, a biometric sensor, and a controller. The controller may perform biometric spoof detection with the biometric sensor, and receive a request for human presence verification from a remote device via the communications interface. The controller may also prompt the user for a verification action using the sensor based upon receiving the request, and determine that the user has completed the verification action in response to the prompting and based upon the biometric spoof detection. The controller may further send a response to the remote device via the communications interface and based upon determining that the user has completed the verification action. The controller may send a notification to the remote device that there is a biometric sensor.
