Dynamic Profile Switching Based on User Identification
First Claim
1. A method of operating a computing device, comprising:
- capturing at least one first image of a first user automatically when the first user interacts with the computing device;
configuring at least some programs operating on the computing device based on a first profile associated with the first image;
capturing at least one second image of a second user automatically when the second user interacts with the computing device that has been configured based on the first profile; and
configuring at least some programs operating on the computing device based on a second profile associated with the second image.

Abstract
A method for dynamic switching of user profiles on a computing device. The computing device is coupled to at least one image-sensing device and can be configured using a plurality of stored user profiles. The method includes receiving at least one image from the at least one image-sensing device and generating a current user value based on the at least one received image. The method further includes determining if the current user value corresponds to at least one stored user value corresponding to a stored user profile. If the current user value corresponds to at least one stored user value, the method includes retrieving the stored user profile and configuring at least some programs operating on the computing device using the retrieved user profile. If the current user value does correspond to at least one stored user value, the method includes configuring the computing device using an alternative method.
