1. A method for providing recording device privileges through biometric assessment, the method comprising:
- monitoring information associated with a recording device, the monitoring being accomplished with a monitoring device operatively connected with the recording device, the information including a location, dynamic biometric data including physiological data that is monitored over time of a then-current user of the recording device, knowledge data, and recording device identification data;
comparing, by the monitoring device, at least the monitored location information and the monitored physiological data with stored security information and stored physiological data for an initial user of the recording device;
determining, by the monitoring device and from the comparison, a confidence level for the then-current user, the confidence level being a statistically based percentage representing how sure the monitoring device is that the then-current user is the initial user or another authorized user of the recording device;
determining, by the monitoring device, an authorization level from a plurality of authorization levels for the then-current user based upon the determined confidence level; and
dynamically adjusting, by the monitoring device, access to one or more recording device access privileges based on the determined authorization level and the determined confidence level;
wherein at least one authorization level from the plurality of authorization levels grants access to a first recording device access privilege and denies access to a second recording device access privilege.

Abstract
A method and system for providing recording device privileges through biometric assessment are disclosed herein. An embodiment of the method includes monitoring information associated with a recording device. The information includes a recording device location, dynamic biometric data, knowledge data, and recording device identification data. From the monitored information, an identity of a then-current user of the recording device is determined. An authorization level for the then-current user is determined, and recording device access privileges are dynamically adjusted based on the determined authorization level.

4. A method for providing recording device privileges through biometric assessment, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at a monitoring device, packetized digested physiological data and security information, the security information being selected from a location of a user of a recording device, a recording device identification, recording device user knowledge, and combinations thereof, and the physiological data being physiological data that is monitored over time; undigesting the physiological data; splitting the undigested physiological data and security information into one of the following categories;
location data, biometric data, knowledge data, or recording device identification data;recognizing, via the monitoring device, that the recording device is in use; monitoring at least a then-current location and then-current biometric data to determine an identity of a then-current user of the recording device, the then-current biometric data being physiological data that is monitored over time; comparing the then-current location data, the then-current recording device identification, and the then-current user identity with the undigested physiological data and security information; from the comparison, determining a statistically based confidence value representative of how sure the monitoring device is that the then-current user is an initial user or another authorized user of the recording device; determining an authorization level from a plurality of authorization levels for the then-current user based at least on a received recording device identification, the then-current location data and the determined confidence value; and dynamically adjusting access to one or more recording device access privileges based on the determined authorization level; wherein at least one authorization level from the plurality of authorization levels grants access to a first recording device access privilege and denies access to a second recording device access privilege. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6, 7, 8, 9)

10. A system for providing recording device privileges through biometric assessment, the system comprising:
-
a recording device, including; means for receiving location data; means for receiving dynamic biometric data including physiological data that is monitored over time; means for receiving knowledge data; and means for extracting recording device identification data; and a monitoring device operatively connected to the recording device, the monitoring device configured to; monitor information including the recording device location, the dynamic biometric data including the physiological data, the knowledge data, and the recording device identification data; compare at least the monitored location information and the monitored physiological data with stored security information and stored physiological data for an initial user of the recording device; determine, from the comparison, a confidence level for the then-current user, the confidence level being a statistically based percentage representing how sure the monitoring device is that the then-current user is the initial user or another authorized user of the recording device; determine an authorization level from a plurality of authorization levels for the then-current user based on the confidence level; and dynamically adjust access to one or more recording device access privileges based on the determined authorization level and the confidence level; wherein at least one authorization level from the plurality of authorization levels grants access to a first recording device access privilege and denies access to a second recording device access privilege. - View Dependent Claims (11)
