ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF PERFORMING AUTHENTICATION OPERATION BY ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17421143 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF PERFORMING AUTHENTICATION OPERATION BY ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device that can be unlocked and perform tasks based on user authentication information acquired from an external device. Here are the key points:
- The electronic device has a memory, communication module, and processor.
- If the device is in a locked state and a first state, and a user utters a request for a task that can be done in an unlocked state, the device will change its unlocking type to match that of an external device.
- The external device is connected to the electronic device through the communication module.
- The electronic device will unlock itself based on user authentication information obtained from the external device.
- Once unlocked, the electronic device will execute the task requested by the user.
Potential applications of this technology:
- This technology can be used in smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices to provide a more secure and convenient unlocking mechanism.
- It can be used in smart home systems to allow users to unlock and control various devices using voice commands and authentication from a central hub.
- It can be applied in automotive systems to enable voice-controlled unlocking and performing tasks in a vehicle.
Problems solved by this technology:
- This technology eliminates the need for manual unlocking of electronic devices, making the process more seamless and convenient for users.
- It enhances security by requiring user authentication from an external device, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.
- It provides a hands-free and voice-controlled unlocking mechanism, which can be particularly useful in situations where manual interaction is not possible or desired.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved user experience by allowing users to unlock and perform tasks on their electronic devices using voice commands.
- Enhanced security by leveraging user authentication information from an external device.
- Increased convenience by eliminating the need for manual unlocking and providing a seamless and hands-free unlocking mechanism.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to various embodiments, an electronic device comprising a memory; a communication module; and a processor, operatively connected to the memory and the communication module, and configured to, if a locked state of the electronic device and a first state of the electronic device are identified, when a first user utterance is acquired that requests a task executable in an unlocked state of the electronic device, change an unlocking type of the electronic device to an unlocking type of an external device, based on first information of the external device, the external device being communicatively connected to the electronic device through the communication module, unlock the electronic device, which is configured with the unlocking type of the external device, based on user authentication information acquired from the external device, and execute the task corresponding to the first user utterance. Various other embodiments may be provided. Meanwhile, a method of performing an authentication operation by the electronic device may be performed using an artificial intelligence model.
