Abstract: A method for generating a user interface at a mobile device includes receiving an indication of a user configurable pattern at a processor. The user configurable pattern indicates locations on a user interface that are spatially separated. The locations are configured to receive user input to enable access to data at the mobile device. The method also includes generating the user interface based on the user configurable pattern.

Abstract: A method for operating a mobile device includes generating a user interface at a processor. The user interface includes one or more virtual objects. The method also includes changing a configuration of the one or more virtual objects. The method further includes monitoring a mannerism of a user of the mobile device. The mannerism is affected by a change in configuration of the one or more virtual objects. The method also includes performing a function based on the mannerism.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for authenticating a user on a mobile device. The method may include initiating authentication of the user for access to the mobile device, where access to the mobile device is granted upon successful authentication of the user by the mobile device. The method may also include performing face recognition analysis on an image of a face of the user to determine an identity of the user. Furthermore, the method may also include determining whether a first pulse information and a second pulse information associated with the user indicate a pulse match. The method may also include authenticating the user for access to the mobile device when a pulse match is determined and the determined identity of the user has permission to access the mobile device.
