1. A method of identifying a user of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- detecting an acceleration noise pattern of a user manipulated component, wherein detecting the acceleration noise pattern of the user manipulated component further comprises detecting acceleration with an accelerometer and a gyroscope while the user manipulated component is at rest in a hand of a user of the electronic device;
comparing the detected acceleration noise pattern with user acceleration that is associated with the user of the electronic device, wherein comparing includes comparing time domain data of the detected acceleration noise pattern with time domain data of the user acceleration;
identifying the user of the electronic device based on the comparison of the detected acceleration noise pattern and the user acceleration; and
operating the electronic device based on the identified user of the electronic device.

8. An entertainment system comprising:
-
a television receiver configured to receive video content from a media service provider; a remote control configured to interact with the television receiver and including control logic operable to; detect an acceleration noise pattern of the remote control while the remote control is at rest in a hand of a user of the remote control; compare the detected acceleration noise pattern with user acceleration that is associated with a user of the television receiver, wherein the control logic is further operable to compare time domain data of the detected acceleration noise pattern with time domain data of the user acceleration; identify the user of the television receiver based on the comparison of the detected acceleration noise pattern and the user acceleration; and operate the television receiver based on the identified user of the television receiver. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)
