Automatic configuration of devices based on biometric data
First Claim
1. A system operatively coupled to a device, the system automatically configures the device based on identity detection, comprising:
- an intelligence component that selects a type of verifiable identification input based upon a size of a set of potential users or based upon a uniqueness of the verifiable identification input with respect to the set of potential users;
an identity component that determines an identity of a user of a device based upon the verifiable identification input associated with the user; and
a configuration component that retrieves settings associated with the user and applies the settings to the device; and
wherein the intelligence component automatically infers the settings associated with the user based on a probabilistic or statistical-based analysis of user information stored in a data store.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can obtain biometric data from a user as the user interacts with a device. Based upon the obtained biometric data, the architecture can determine an identity of the user and automatically apply settings associated with that particular user to the device. The settings can relate to a physical configuration of the device (or aspects, features, and/or peripherals of the device), as well as to a data set employed by the device (or components of the device). As such, a user of the device can benefit from enhanced efficiency, utility, and/or convenience.

13. A method for configuring a device based upon detecting identity, comprising:
-
inferring a type of biometric to employ for determining an identity of a user of the device based on universality, uniqueness, and permanence of the biometric; receiving the biometric from the user of the device; employing the biometric for determining the identity of the user of the device; and applying a configuration to the device based upon settings associated with the user of the device, the settings associated with the user of the device are automatically inferred based on a probabilistic or statistical-based analysis of user information stored in a data store. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A method for modifying an arrangement associated with a device in accordance with an identity of a user of the device, the method comprising:
-
obtaining multiple types of biometrics from the user of the device; selecting a one of the multiple types of biometrics for establishing the identity of the user of the device, the selecting based on a size of a set of potential users and a uniqueness of the selected biometric with respect to the set of potential users; utilizing the selected biometric for establishing the identity of the user of the device; and adapting the device in accordance with settings associated with the user of the device, the settings associated with the user of the device are automatically inferred based on a probabilistic and statistical-based analysis of user information stored in a data store.
