Patent number: 12675563Abstract: An electronic device including a processing unit and a gesture input device connected with the processing unit, wherein the gesture input device is operable to detect an input gesture to initiate password entry during a software locked state. The electronic device further includes a display, wherein the processing unit is operable to randomly assign a predefined set of input gestures to a predefined set of password symbols, the display is operable to show an enter password screen showing the randomly assigned set of input gestures corresponding to the set of password symbols, the display is operable to show the randomly assigned predefined set of input gestures adjacent to the predefined set of password symbols, and the assigned set of input gestures correspond to the set of password symbols until the password entry is reinitiated.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2024Date of Patent: July 7, 2026Assignee: Vuzix CorporationInventors: Connor Hack, Gregory Moens

Patent number: 12099589Abstract: A method of unlocking software including providing an electronic device having a processing unit and a gesture input device connected therewith. Detecting an input gesture operable to initiate password entry, wherein the electronic device is in a software locked state, and randomly assigning a predefined set of input gestures to a predefined set of password symbols. The method of unlocking software additionally includes detecting one of the assigned input gestures via the gesture input device and comparing the entered password symbols, corresponding to the detected input gestures, to a stored unlock password via the processing unit. Further, where the entered password symbols match the stored unlock password, the method enables operation of the electronic device in a software unlocked state.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2020Date of Patent: September 24, 2024Assignee: Vuzix CorporationInventors: Connor Hack, Gregory Moens
