Abstract:
A system for supporting multiple users of a mobile computing device is disclosed herein. The mobile computing device receives a biometric identifier for a user by way of a biometric input component of the mobile computing device. Responsive to receiving the biometric identifier, the mobile computing device causes the biometric identifier to be received by a biometrics subsystem of an operating system of the mobile computing device. The biometrics subsystem authenticates the user based upon the biometric identifier. The mobile computing device then scans for an identifier for a wearable device worn by the user that is emitted from the wearable device. Responsive to detecting the identifier for the wearable device, the mobile computing device authenticates the user based upon the identifier for the wearable device. The mobile computing device then executes a mobile application loaded in memory of the mobile computing device.
