Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention may involve identifying a user of a touchscreen device. A touchscreen device may receive a user input. One or more features of the user input on the touchscreen device may be identified. The one or more features of the user input may include, for example, geometric patterns, swiping motifs, a pressure, a spatial orientation, or any combination thereof. A user profile comprising the one or more features of the user input may be generated. The touchscreen device may receive a second input from an unknown user. A statistical evaluation may be performed comparing one or more features of the second input with one or more features of the user input in the user profile. A probability that the unknown user is the user may be determined. If a low probability is determined, the unknown user may be locked out of the touchscreen device.
