Biometric sensor for human presence detection and associated methods
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a communications interface;
a user prompting device;
a biometric sensor; and
a controller capable ofperforming biometric spoof detection with said biometric sensor,receiving a first request for a user-independent human presence verification from a remote device via said communications interface,sending a notification to the remote device via said communications interface that said biometric sensor is coupled to said controller,prompting a user, via said user prompting device, with a second request for a verification action using said biometric sensor based upon receiving the first request for a user-independent human presence verification,determining that the user has completed the verification action using said biometric sensor in response to the prompting and based upon the biometric spoof detection and without performing a biometric authentication, andsending a response corresponding to the second request verification for the verification action using said biometric sensor to the remote device via said communications interface and based upon the determining to thereby bypass processing of the received first request.

Abstract
An electronic device may include a communications interface, a user prompting device, a biometric sensor, and a controller. The controller may perform biometric spoof detection with the biometric sensor, and receive a request for human presence verification from a remote device via the communications interface. The controller may also prompt the user for a verification action using the sensor based upon receiving the request, and determine that the user has completed the verification action in response to the prompting and based upon the biometric spoof detection. The controller may further send a response to the remote device via the communications interface and based upon determining that the user has completed the verification action. The controller may send a notification to the remote device that there is a biometric sensor.

15. A method of verifying a human presence using an electronic device comprising a communications interface, a user prompting device, a biometric sensor, and a controller cooperating with the communications interface, the user prompting device, and the biometric sensor, the method comprising:
-
performing biometric spoof detection with the biometric sensor; receiving a first request for a user-independent human presence verification from a remote device via the communications interface; sending a notification to the remote device via the communications interface that the biometric sensor is coupled to the controller; prompting a user, via the user prompting device, with a second request for a verification action using the biometric sensor based upon receiving the first request for a user-independent human presence verification; determining that the user has completed the verification action using the biometric sensor in response to the prompting and based upon the biometric spoof detection and without performing a biometric authentication; and sending a response corresponding to the second request verification for the verification action using the biometric sensor to the remote device via the communications interface and based upon the determining to thereby bypass processing of the received first request. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
