  • Method and system for authenticating a user using a mobile device having plural sensors
    Patent number: 10609558
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer readable program code are disclosed for authenticating a user having a mobile device with plural sensors. The method includes recognizing a situation of the mobile device or the user; determining if the situation of the mobile device or the user is a predetermined situation; when the situation is the predetermined situation: determining a first action as an authentication action; determining a single sensor or a first combination of sensors among the plural sensors; and executing a first authentication for the user by using the single sensor or the first combination of sensors; and when the situation is not the predetermined situation: determining a second action as the authentication action; determining a second combination of sensors among the plural sensors; and executing a second authentication for the user by using the second combination of sensors.
