METHOD FOR DETERMINING USER AUTHENTICATION SCHEME OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17951663 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING USER AUTHENTICATION SCHEME OF ELECTRONIC DEVICE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE THEREFOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic device with multiple foldable housings and sensors to detect different folding states. It also includes input devices for user authentication and a processor to determine the authentication scheme based on the folding state and control the corresponding input device.
- The electronic device has multiple foldable housings that can be folded and unfolded.
- There are sensors to detect the folding state of the housings.
- The device has input devices for acquiring authentication information.
- The processor determines the user authentication scheme based on the folding state.
- The determined authentication scheme is used to control the input device for acquiring authentication information.
Potential Applications
- Mobile phones or tablets with foldable screens.
- Laptops or notebooks with foldable designs.
- Wearable devices with foldable components.
Problems Solved
- Simplifies the user authentication process by automatically selecting the appropriate authentication scheme based on the folding state.
- Provides a more intuitive and user-friendly authentication experience for foldable devices.
Benefits
- Enhanced security by selecting the most suitable authentication scheme based on the device's folding state.
- Improved user experience by eliminating the need for manual selection of authentication methods.
- Increased convenience and efficiency in the authentication process for foldable devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first housing, a second housing foldable with respect to the first housing around a first folding axis, a third housing foldable with respect to the second housing around a second folding axis, a first sensor configured to detect a first folding state with respect to the first housing and the second housing, a second sensor configured to detect a second folding state with respect to the second housing and the third housing, at least one input device configured to acquire authentication information for performing user authentication according to a plurality of user authentication schemes, and at least one processor connected to the first sensor, the second sensor, and the at least one input device, wherein the at least one processor determines a user authentication scheme from among the plurality of user authentication schemes based on a folding state of the electronic device according to the first folding state and the second folding state, and controls, among the at least one input device, an input device corresponding to the determined user authentication scheme so as to acquire the authentication information.
