Questions about Electronic Device Registration Data Switching

How does the electronic device determine which user is currently using it?

The device can use biometric authentication, user logins, or other identification methods to determine the current user.

Can the owner remotely control the registration data switching process?

Yes, the owner can remotely permit the device to receive registration data from another device associated with a different user.


Original Abstract Submitted

an electronic device operates using first registration data while a first user is using the device and operates using second registration data while a second user is using the device. the owner of the electronic device can permit the electronic device to receive second registration data from an electronic device that is associated with the second user.
