  • Determining biometrics utilizing a display-embedded distance-measuring sensor
    Patent number: 10265022
    Abstract: An approach is provided for processing various sensor data and determining various characteristics associated with a user. A data collection module may process and/or facilitate a processing of sensor data for determining one or more distance measurements between at least one body part of a user and a device. The data collection module may determine one or more biometrical characteristics associated with the user based, at least in part, on the one or more distance measurements.
    Type: Grant
