A device with a touch-sensitive display may be unlocked via gestures performed on the touch-sensitive display. The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device. The device displays one or more unlock images with respect to which the predefined gesture is to be performed in order to unlock the device. The performance of the predefined gesture with respect to the unlock image may include moving the unlock image to a predefined location and/or moving the unlock image along a predefined path. The device may also display visual cues of the predefined gesture on the touch screen to remind a user of the gesture.

Unlocking a device by performing gestures on an unlock image

An electronic device with a display and a fingerprint sensor may authenticate a user for a respective function. While a respective function of the device is in a locked state, the device displays a graphical element on the display, the graphical element indicating a first direction of finger movement that enables unlocking of the respective function. While displaying the graphical element, the device detects an input that includes movement of a finger in the first direction over the fingerprint sensor and determines whether the input meets unlock criteria based at least in part on fingerprint information of the finger detected by the fingerprint sensor during the input. In accordance with a determination that the input meets the unlock criteria, the device unlocks the respective function; and in accordance with a determination that the input does not meet the unlock criteria, the device maintains the respective function in the locked state.

Embedded authentication systems in an electronic device

In some embodiments of the invention, a graphical user interface in an electronic device includes one or more user-interface objects associated with a second user-interface state. While the device is in a first user-interface state, the one or more objects transition in optical intensity to indicate progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition needed to transition to the second user-interface state.

Indication of progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition

A device with a touch sensitive display and a plurality of applications, including a camera application, while the device is in a locked, passcode-protected state: displays a lock screen interface, the lock screen interface including a camera access indicia; detects a gesture; in response to a determination that the gesture starts on the camera access indicia: ceases to display the lock screen interface; starts a restricted session for the camera application; displays an interface for the camera application, without displaying a passcode entry interface; and maintains the device in the locked, passcode-protected state for the applications other than the camera application; and in response to a determination that the gesture starts at a location other than the camera access indicia: displays a passcode entry interface, wherein in response to entry of a correct passcode in the passcode entry interface, the device enters an unlocked state.

Device, Method, and Graphical User Interface for Accessing an Application in a Locked Device

In a system (e.g., debit card) where a PIN is entered as verification, the PIN and biometric information, which is free of being stolen or faked, are combined to realize secure user verification. The leakage and the theft of a PIN is reliably prevented, thereby realizing a high security ability. To-be-verified biometric feature data is transmitted from first transceiving interface (205) of data processing device (200) to portable electronic device (300). Biometric feature data verifying section (306) of portable electronic device (300) compares the to-be-verified biometric feature data, which has been received by second transceiving interface (301), with valid biometric feature data. If a predetermined matching condition between the to-be-verified biometric feature data and the valid biometric feature data is satisfied, a PIN stored in portable electronic device (300) is transmitted from second transceiving interface (301) to management device (400) via first transceiving interface (205) of data processing device (200).

User verification system, and portable electronic device with user verification function utilizing biometric information

PURPOSE: To allow a card possessing person to designate a desirable graphic as password information, and to obtain an excellent individual discriminating system by providing a password information input means consisting of a card write means, a graphic recognizing means and a brushstroke strength detecting means. CONSTITUTION: A password information input means 6, which consists of a card write means 3 to write the password information into a card by means of a just card possessing person, a graphic recognizing means 6a to recognize and display the traced graphic, and a brushstroke strength detecting means 6b to detect the brushstroke strength at the time of inputting the figure, is provided. Thus the card possessing person can designate not a fixed figure but the desirable graphic as the password information, and based on the brushstroke strength at the time of inputting the graphic, whether or not the card possessing person is the just card owner can be discriminated.

Individual identifying system

PURPOSE: To make interception and decoding of a 3rd party from the entry operation of a password by a carrier of a card by providing a password entry means or the like comprising a display data storage means or the like having a random table. CONSTITUTION: In the case of identifying (collating) an individual by a password, a password is read via a card read means 3 and stored in a data storage means 5 through the loading of a card 2. Then a random table of a display data storage means 4c in a password input means 4c is designated by the operation of a start key and a numeral '0' is converted into a character * by a display data generating means 4b. Then one digit of the data in the means 4b is displayed, and when the character * is displayed, a password is entered by an input key and collated with a password in the means 5 with a collation means 7 via a data discrimination means 4d or the like. Moreover, the means 4 is placed at a position recessed from the front panel thereby preventing the interception and decoding of the password by the 3rd party from the entry operation of the password of the carrier of the card.

Individual identification system

PURPOSE: To disable a person younger than an age limit from purchasing commodities to which the age limit is set by comparing age data read by a card reading means and age limit data outputted from an age limit storage means with each other to discriminate whether he can purchase them or not. CONSTITUTION: Age data indicating the age of card user for the use is read from a card 1 by a card reading means 3, and it is decided whether the card user is younger than the age limit or not at the time of selling by an age- classified sale deciding means 8 in accordance with this age data and age limit data of commodities outputted from an age limit storage means 7. When he is younger than the age limit as the decision result, the selling operation is stopped and the card is returned to prevent selling. Thus, persons younger than the age limit who are legally inhibited from smoking and drinking are disabled from purchasing tobacco and alcohol. COPYRIGHT: (C)1991,JPO&Japio

Card operated vending machine

PURPOSE: To eliminate necessity to input a personal identification code by providing an encoder to increase the prepaid remainder of a prepaid area in an IC card for an amount in the range of the off-line remainder of an off-line account area, to write the prepaid remainder, simultaneously to decrease and write the off-line remainder of the off-line account area CONSTITUTION: A first PIN (a system code common for systems) is sent to an IC card 1 and the transaction amount is subtracted from the prepaid amount of a prepaid area 2a and written by accessing the prepaid area 2a When the prepaid remainder of the prepaid area 2a in the IC card 1 is made a little or lacked, a part of the off-line remainder of an off-line area 2b in the IC card 1 is added to the prepaid remainder of the prepaid area 2a in the IC card 1 by using an encoder 11 In such a case, in order to access the off-line area 2b of the IC card 1, it is necessary to input the personal identification code (the second PIN) Thus, when transaction is executed, it is not necessary to input the personal identification code COPYRIGHT: (C)1990,JPO&Japio
