Abstract: A user verification method for a mobile device having an edge sensor and a mobile device implementing the method are provided. The method includes detecting, by the edge sensor, a squeezing action performed on the mobile device in response to determining that a specific event occurs, and performing a verification procedure according to the squeezing action to obtain a user verification result; in response to the user verification result being successful, performing a first operation; in response to the user verification result being failed, performing a second operation. Furthermore, the verification procedure includes retrieving verification data corresponding to the specific event from a database; and determining whether the user verification result is successful or failed by comparing the verification data with a pattern of the squeezing action.
