  • Patent number: 10462129
    Abstract: A system and a method for gaining access of devices based on a user's identity are disclosed. The method comprises a target device detecting a user worn accessory present in vicinity of a target device. Upon detection, the target device receives a user identity (UID) from the user worn accessory. The user worn accessory sends the UID based on verification of user's body data. Upon receiving the UID, the target device matches the UID with a list of known UID's to identify access rights assigned to the target device. Based on the identified access rights, the target device provides access to the user. Thus, the user may automatically get an access without handling the target device.
