  • Methods and devices for operational access grants using facial features and facial gestures
    Patent number: 11762966
    Abstract: A method in an electronic device includes comparing, with one or more processors, at least one image with one or more predefined reference images and determining whether the at least one image comprises a depiction of a mien expressed by the object. When the object is authenticated as the authorized user of the electronic device and the at least one image fails to comprise the depiction of the mien expressed by the object, the one or more processors grant limited operational access to features, applications, or data of the electronic device. When the object is authenticated as the authorized user of the electronic device and the at least one image comprises the depiction of the mien expressed by the object, the one or more processors can grant full operational access to the features, the applications, or the data of the electronic device.

  • Electronic device with face orienting user interface
    Patent number: 11308923
    Abstract: An electronic device, method, and computer program product enable orienting a user interface on a display device to a detected orientation of a face. The display device presents the user interface in a default display orientation. An image capture device captures an image. A memory contains a display orientation application. A controller is communicatively coupled to the display device, the image capture device, and the memory. The controller executes the display orientation application to enable the electronic device to provide functionality of orienting the user interface. The image captured by the image capture device is received and a face is identified within the image. An orientation of the face is determined relative to the default display orientation of the display device. At least a portion of the user interface is presented on the display device in a second display orientation that correlates to the orientation of the face.
