USING BIOMETRIC USER-SPECIFIC ATTRIBUTES
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computerized data processing method to control access to consumer devices, the method comprising:
- collecting a plurality of user-specific parameter values as a user attempts to access a consumer device;
determining at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values that uniquely identify the user;
determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong;
retrieving, from a reference database, at least two user-specific reference values that belong to the two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong and that have been stored in the reference database for the user;
determining whether the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values match the at least two user-specific reference values; and
in response to determining that the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values match the at least two user-specific reference values, granting, to the user, access to the consumer device.

Abstract
Techniques are provided for determining two or more user-specific parameters that can be measured or obtained using various methods, and using values of the two or more user-specific parameters to uniquely identify or authenticate an individual. Examples of the user-specific parameters may include biometric parameters, textual-based parameters, a combination of biometric parameters and textual-based parameters, and the like.

10. A computer system comprising:
-
a data collector performing; collecting a plurality of user-specific parameter values as a user attempts to access a consumer device; and a computer processor performing; determining at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values that uniquely identify the user; determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong; retrieving, from a reference database, at least two user-specific reference values that belong to the two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong and that have been stored in the reference database for the user; determining whether the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values match the at least two user-specific reference values; and in response to determining that the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values match the at least two user-specific reference values, granting, to the user, access to the consumer device. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more non-transitory computer storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more computer processors, cause performing:
-
collecting a plurality of user-specific parameter values as a user attempts to access a consumer device; determining at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values that uniquely identify the user; determining two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong; retrieving, from a reference database, at least two user-specific reference values that belong to the two or more parameter categories to which the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values belong and that have been stored in the reference database for the user; determining whether the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values match the at least two user-specific reference values; and in response to determining that the at least two of the plurality of user-specific parameter values match the at least two user-specific reference values, granting, to the user, access to the consumer device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
