SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING ELECTRONIC DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240265079 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKING ELECTRONIC DEVICES
The abstract describes a technology where an extended-reality device worn by a user can automatically authenticate and unlock the user's device for use. This authentication process involves verifying the user's identity using sensors on the extended-reality device and capturing an image of the user's environment to detect the device to be unlocked. If the candidate device is registered to the user, the extended reality device will display a visual code on the candidate device, which will be captured to determine the device's identity and automatically unlock it for use.
- Extended-reality device automatically authenticates and unlocks user's device.
- Uses sensors to verify user's identity and captures images to detect candidate device.
- Displays visual code on candidate device if registered to user.
- Captures visual code to determine device's identity and unlock it automatically.
Potential Applications: - Secure access control systems - Augmented reality gaming - Virtual reality training simulations
Problems Solved: - Streamlining device authentication process - Enhancing security measures for unlocking devices
Benefits: - Convenient and efficient device unlocking process - Improved user experience with extended-reality technology
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhancing Device Security with Extended-Reality Authentication" This technology can be utilized in industries such as: - Technology - Security - Gaming
Questions about Extended-Reality Authentication: 1. How does the extended-reality device verify the user's identity? The extended-reality device uses sensors to verify the user's identity and capture images of the user's environment. 2. What are the potential security implications of using extended-reality authentication? Extended-reality authentication can enhance security measures for unlocking devices and provide a convenient user experience.
Original Abstract Submitted
an extended-reality device worn by a user may be configured to automatically perform the authentication necessary to unlock a user's device for use. the authentication may include using sensors on the extended-reality device to verify a user's identity. the authentication may further include capturing an image of the user's environment to detect a candidate device to be unlocked. after detecting the candidate device, the extended reality device may be configured to broadcast a signal to cause the candidate device to display a visual code if the candidate device is registered to the user. the extended-reality device may then capture one or more images of the visual code to determine an identity of the device. using this identity, the extended reality device may then be configured to automatically unlock the device for use.
