User identification in cell phones based on skin contact
First Claim
1. A user equipment, comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising;
based on touch data received from a first sensor of the user equipment, determining that the user equipment is not being actively utilized and not being passively utilized;
in response to the determining that the user equipment is not being actively utilized and not being passively utilized, initiating a display time-out of the user equipment, wherein the display time-out is customized based on identity data that is indicative of a user identity that last utilized the user equipment and that is determined based on thermal data received from a second sensor of the user equipment;
in response to the determining, initiating by an artificial intelligence, a mode change of the user equipment resulting in a changed mode;
determining other identity data indicative of another user identity based on other touch data received from the first sensor of the user equipment; and
based on determining that the other user identity is not an authorized user identity, granting a limited access to a feature of the user equipment.

Abstract
Screen time-outs on a portable electronic device can be customized based on user activity. In one aspect, a sensing component receives data from one or more sensors located on the portable electronic device, for example, skin conductivity sensors and determines whether the user is using the portable device, either actively or passively and also determines the identity of the user. A configuring component is employed to change one or more features or functions of the portable electronic device based on the information determined by the sensing component. In particular, the configuring component changes one of more features of the portable electronic device based on the preferences predefined by the identified user and device usage (active and passive usage).

11. A method, comprising:
-
based on conductivity data received from a first sensor of a mobile device comprising a processor, verifying, by the mobile device, that the mobile device is not being actively utilized and not being passively utilized; based on thermal data received from a second sensor of the mobile device, determining, by the mobile device, identity data that is indicative of a user identity that last utilized the mobile device; in response to the determining and the verifying, customizing, by the mobile device, a time-out period for a display of the mobile device; in response to the verifying, restoring, by the mobile device, a power management setting of the device based on an artificial intelligence; based on other thermal data received from the second sensor of the mobile device, identifying other identity data indicative of another user identity that has utilized the mobile device, wherein the identifying comprises identifying that the other user identity is not an authorized user identity; and in response to the identifying, restricting access to a feature of the mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
-
based on first measurement data received from a conductivity sensor of a communication device verifying that the communication device is not being actively utilized and not being passively utilized; based on second measurement data received from a thermal sensor of the communication device, determining identity data that is indicative of a user identity that last touched the communication device; in response to the determining, facilitating a time-out period for a display of the communication device, wherein the time-out period is customized based on the identity data; in response to the determining and the verifying, adjusting a setting of the communication device by an artificial intelligence; based on third measurement data received from the conductivity sensor and based on fourth measurement data received from the thermal sensor, identifying another user identity that has touched the communication device and that is an unauthorized user identity; and in response to the identifying, restricting use of the setting of the communication device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
