Man-machine interface for controlling access to electronic devices
First Claim
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by a first electronic device with a display and one or more biometric sensors, cause the first device to:
- while the first device is proximate to a second device, request user authentication using the one or more biometric sensors;
after requesting the user authentication, detect biometric information associated with the user with the one or more biometric sensors;
in response to detecting the biometric information associated with the user;
in accordance with a determination that the detected biometric information associated with the user meets authentication criteria, provide credentials associated with the user to the second device; and
in accordance with a determination that the detected biometric information associated with the user does not meet the authentication criteria, forgo providing the credentials associated with the user to the second device.

Abstract
This application relates to devices, methods and computer readable media that allow users using a first device to be easily authenticated. For example, while the first device is proximate to a second device, the first device requests user authentication using the one or more biometric sensors. After requesting the user authentication, the first device detects biometric information associated with the user with the one or more biometric sensors. In response to detecting the biometric information associated with the user, in accordance with a determination that the detected biometric information associated with the user meets authentication criteria, the first device provides credentials associated with the user to the second device. In accordance with a determination that the detected biometric information associated with the user does not meet the authentication criteria, the first device forgoes providing the credentials associated with the user to the second device.

21. A first electronic device, comprising:
-
a display; one or more biometric sensors; one or more processors; memory; and one or more programs, wherein the one or more programs are stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, the one or more programs including instructions, which when executed by the one or more processors, cause the first device to; while the first device is proximate to a second device, request user authentication using the one or more biometric sensors; after requesting the user authentication, detect biometric information associated with the user with the one or more biometric sensors; in response to detecting the biometric information associated with the user; in accordance with a determination that the detected biometric information associated with the user meets authentication criteria, provide credentials associated with the user to the second device; and in accordance with a determination that the detected biometric information associated with the user does not meet the authentication criteria, forgo providing the credentials associated with the user to the second device. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
