  • Patent number: 9977887
    Abstract: Method for validating a trusted user of an electronic device, which electronic device comprises an input surface, e.g. on a key, dedicated for application of a user finger; a user input data sensor system, including a fingerprint sensor connected to the input surface for detecting user input fingerprint data, and a tremor sensor for detecting user input tremor data; data access to stored user input data corresponding to a trusted user; and a main processor system configured to match detected user input data with stored input data for validation of a trusted user. A triggering algorithm may run in a sub-sensor system, for sensing device handling and comparing sensed device handling with stored data. If the comparison reveals that user input is likely to occur based on the, a command is sent to the main processing system to trigger activation of tremor sensing and matching.

  • Patent number: 9743364
    Abstract: A system including a wireless communication device and a peripheral device communicate with each other using radio frequency (RF) waves that are propagated using a user's own body as a transmission medium. The wireless communication device selectively controls the transmit output power of the peripheral device to cause the peripheral device to transmit data and information in a low-power transmission mode. This minimizes the amount of RF waves that are received at the wireless communication device as reflected RF waves, but helps to ensure that the RF waves that do reach the wireless communication device are transmitted as surface waves along the user's skin. Responsive to the receipt of the surface waves, and based on a validity of the information carried by those surface waves, the wireless communication device transitions from a locked state to an unlocked state.
