System And Methods For Waking And Locking An Information Handling System In A Multi-User Environment - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240241934 titled 'System And Methods For Waking And Locking An Information Handling System In A Multi-User Environment
The abstract describes systems and methods for managing a user presence detection capable information handling system (IHS) in a multi-user environment, enhancing system security and reducing power loss by monitoring user presence, determining user identity through biometric data comparison, and taking actions based on user identity.
- Continuous monitoring of user presence within the field of view (FOV) of the IHS
- Determining user identity by comparing biometric data with a database of trusted users
- Performing actions like waking the IHS from a low power state or locking an active system session based on user identity
Potential Applications: - Security systems in shared workspaces - Energy-efficient smart home devices - Access control systems in public facilities
Problems Solved: - Enhancing system security in multi-user environments - Reducing power consumption in IHS - Streamlining user authentication processes
Benefits: - Improved system security - Energy efficiency - Seamless user experience in shared environments
Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced User Presence Detection System for Secure and Efficient Operations This technology can be applied in office buildings, hotels, smart homes, and public facilities to enhance security and optimize energy usage.
Questions about User Presence Detection: 1. How does this technology improve system security in a multi-user environment?
- This technology enhances system security by accurately identifying users within the field of view and taking appropriate actions based on their identity.
2. What are the potential energy-saving benefits of implementing this user presence detection system?
- By efficiently managing user presence and system operations, this technology can significantly reduce power consumption and improve energy efficiency.
Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments of systems and methods are provided for managing and operating a user presence detection (upd) capable information handling system (ihs) within a multi-user environment. the systems and methods disclosed herein improve system security and reduce power loss in a upd-capable ihs operated within a multi-user environment by continuously: (a) monitoring user presence within a field of view (fov) of the upd-capable ihs, (b) determining the identity of the user(s) present within the fov by comparing biometric data obtained from the user(s) present within the fov with biometric data contained within a database of trusted users, and (c) performing various actions, such as waking the ihs from a low power state or locking an active system session of the ihs, based on the identity of the user(s) present with fov.
