METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR USER-TRANSPARENT SYSTEM CONTROL USING BIO-INPUT
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a vehicle adapted to be worn by a subject;
at least one sensor disposed on said vehicle, said sensor being adapted to sense at least one bio-input of said subject; and
a processor in communication with said sensor;
wherein;
said vehicle and said sensor are configured such that when said subject wears said vehicle, said sensor is substantially disposed with respect to said subject for sensing said bio-input;
said sensor is adapted to sense said bio-input with substantially no dedicated sensing action required from said subject;
said processor is adapted to compare said bio-input with a standard therefor; and
said processor is adapted to indicate a response if said bio-input meets said standard.

Abstract
A wearable sensor vehicle with a bio-input sensor and a processor. When the vehicle is worn, the sensor is arranged so as to sense bio-input from the user. The sensor senses bio-input, the processor compares the bio-input to a standard, and if the standard is met the processor indicates a response. The user may be uniquely identified from the bio-input. One or more systems on or communicating with the vehicle may be controlled transparently, without requiring direct action by the user. Control actions may include security identification of the user, logging in to accounts or programs, setting preferences, etc. The sensor collects bio-input substantially without instruction or dedicated action from the user; the processor compares bio-input against the standard substantially without instruction or dedicated action from the user; and the processor generates and/or implements a response based on the bio-input substantially without instruction or dedicated action from the user.

41. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a vehicle adapted to be worn by a subject, said vehicle comprising a head-mounted display, said vehicle being adapted to perform at least one subject service other than as said vehicle for said sensor; at least one sensor disposed on said vehicle such that when said subject wears said vehicle, said sensor is proximate a bridge of a nose of said subject, said sensor being a color visible light imaging sensor adapted to sense a cardiac wave of said subject; and a processor in communication with said sensor; wherein; said vehicle and said sensor are configured such that when said subject wears said vehicle, said sensor is substantially disposed with respect to said subject for sensing said bio-input; said sensor is adapted to repeatedly sense said bio-input with substantially no dedicated sensing action required from said subject; said processor is adapted to repeatedly compare said bio-input with a standard therefor; said processor is adapted to repeatedly indicate a response if said bio-input meets said standard, said response comprising at least one of a group consisting of activating an entity, authorizing access to said entity, and activating preferences in said entity, said entity comprising at least one of a group consisting of an electronic device, an electronic device component, and a data entity comprising executable instructions; and said processor is adapted to repeatedly record at least one of a group consisting of said bio-input, a time of sensing said bio-input, and a location of sensing said bio-input.
