Abstract:
An online store can transmit an online account token to an electronic device or to a biometric sensing device after a user successfully enters his or her account password. The electronic device or the biometric sensing device can countersign the online account token when the one or more biometric images match reference biometric images and the account password matches user identifier data stored in the electronic device or in the biometric sensing device. The countersigned online account token can then be transmitted to the online store. The user can then make one or more purchases after the online store receives the countersigned online account token.
Abstract:
A computing device may receive authentication information. Within a time-out period, a fingerprint may also be received. The computing device may assign one or more authentication credentials to the fingerprint based on authentication credentials associated with the received authentication information. In some implementations, the computing device may assign the authentication credentials associated with the received authentication information to the biometric. However, in other implementations, the computing device may assign different authentication credentials to the biometric based on one or more user preferences, defaults, security policies, and/or enterprise policies. In various implementations, the authentication credentials assigned to the biometric may be altered, such as by adding and/or removing one or more authentication credentials. Such alteration may be performed in response to a received user request, changed enterprise policy, changed security policy, fraud alert, and/or other such factor.
Abstract:
A method for routing a vehicle includes receiving a current location for the vehicle and a destination location for the vehicle and identifying candidate navigation routes extending between the current location and the destination location. The method also includes determining a cognitive load parameter for each candidate navigation route and determining a cost value for a cost function for each candidate navigation route. Each cost value is based on the cognitive load parameter for the respective candidate navigation route. The method also includes selecting the navigation route from the candidate navigation routes based on the cost values for the candidate navigation routes.
Abstract:
This application provides techniques, including circuits and designs, which can receive information with respect to fingerprint images, or portions thereof, and which can be incorporated into devices using fingerprint recognition. This application also provides techniques, including devices which perform fingerprint recognition and methods which can be performed by those devices. In one embodiment, techniques can include providing a fingerprint recognition sensor in which one or more portions of each fingerprint can be collected as they are identified, and those portions can be combined into a unified fingerprint template. In this way, collection and enrollment of fingerprints may be simplified for users.
Abstract:
An electronic device with a display and a biometric sensor is provided which displays a biometric settings interface including a plurality of entries that correspond to respective enrolled sets of biometric information and a biometric enrollment affordance. In response to detecting input using the biometric sensor, and in accordance with a determination that the detected input corresponds to a first set of biometric information, a first entry is highlighted. In response to detecting activation of the biometric enrollment affordance, after detecting the input using the biometric sensor, a process for enrolling biometric information with the biometric sensor is initiated.

Abstract:
While a device is in a locked mode of operation in which access to a respective set of features of the electronic device is locked, detecting, with a fingerprint sensor, a first input that corresponds to a request to initiate unlocking the device; and in response to detecting the first input with the fingerprint sensor: determining whether the first input meets one of unlock criteria, first unlock-failure criteria, or second unlock-failure criteria; in accordance with a determination that the first input meets the unlock criteria, transitioning the device from the locked mode to an unlocked mode in which the respective set of features of the electronic device is unlocked; in accordance with a determination that the first input meets the first unlock-failure criteria, maintaining the device in the locked mode and adjusting unlock settings so that the device is enabled to be unlocked via an unlock operation in a first set of one or more unlock operations; and in accordance with a determination that the first input meets the second unlock-failure criteria, maintaining the device in the locked mode and adjusting unlock settings so that the device is enabled to be unlocked via an unlock operation in a second set of one or more unlock operations that is different from the first set of unlock operations.
