Electronic Device with Method for Controlling Access to Same
First Claim
1. A method for controlling access to an electronic device, the method comprising:
- capturing a first set of image data of a user with an imager of the electronic device;
altering a setting of the imager based on detected motion of the user;
capturing a second set of image data of the user with the imager after altering the setting; and
authenticating the user a second level of access to the electronic device based on the second set of image data.

Abstract
An electronic device is able to alter one or more settings of its imager based on the motion of a user that the device is attempting to authenticate. The electronic device, in one implementation, captures a first set of image data of the user (e.g., a video or still photo of the user), detects motion of the user, alters a setting of the imager based on the motion, captures a second set of image data of the user, and authenticates the user based on the second set of image data. In some implementations, the electronic device has multiple imagers, and activates one or more additional imagers based on the detected motion of the user.

11. An electronic device comprising:
-
an imager configured to capture a first set of image data of a user; and a processor configured to grant the user a first level of access to the electronic device based on the first set of image data; alter a setting of the imager based on detected motion of the user, wherein the imager is further configured to capture a second set of image data of the user based on the altered setting, and wherein the processor is further configured to grant the user a second level of access to the electronic device based on the second set of image data. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
