A smart ring (100) provides multi-mode control in a personal area network (PAN). The smart ring has a fingerprint sensor (106) for identifying upon which finger and which finger segment the smart ring is being worn. A controller (902) of the smart ring (100) enables a predetermined PAN device and PAN control function in response to identified finger and finger segment information (1, 2, 3) matching pre-stored fingerprint information. One of the PAN devices is thus selectively enabled and a predetermined function is controlled, based on identification of the finger and finger segment location of the smart ring (100). Several different PAN devices (narrowband radio, body-worn camera, sensors, gun holster, remote speaker microphone, broadband device, to name a few) can be selectively controlled and varied via rotation of the smart ring (100), making the smart ring well suited for public safety applications.

A digital pen, a touch system and a method for providing information thereof are provided. The touch system may include a display apparatus and a digital pen having a battery. The digital pen may be configured to sense a battery status of the battery, generate a signal indicating a location of the stylus with respect to the display apparatus. The signal may have a frequency corresponding to the battery status, and transmit the signal to the display apparatus. The display apparatus may be configured to receive the signal, analyze the signal, and acquire the location of the stylus and the battery status.

An aspect of authenticating a user via a processing system includes receiving, at an input device of the processing system, an input gesture corresponding to an explicit assertion of user intent with respect to a function to be performed on the processing system; and simultaneously authorizing and authenticating the user, with respect to the function, from data acquired from the input gesture.

A computer mouse includes at least one first fingerprint recognition device disposed on an outside surface of the computer mouse, and configured to recognize fingerprint data; and an output converting unit connected to the first fingerprint recognition device, wherein a mapping relation of a plurality of fingerprint data and a plurality of output characters is pre-stored in the output converting unit, and one of the output characters is outputted, by the output converting unit, in response to the received fingerprint data coming from the first fingerprint recognition device.

In accordance with some embodiments, systems, apparatus, interfaces, methods, and articles of manufacture are provided for ascertaining aspects of a user, such as the users identity, competence, health, and state of mind. In various embodiments, data is captured about a user via a headset worn by the user. Based on the data, a determination may be made about an aspect of the user, and the user may accordingly be granted or denied access to a resource.

A detection device includes an input unit configured to receive an operation of a user, and a sensor provided in the input unit and configured to detect biological information of the user when the user operates the input unit.

A mouse includes a housing; a mouse interface circuitry disposed in the housing; a capacitance fingerprint sensor disposed on a top of the housing and electrically connected to the mouse interface circuitry; and a microprocessor disposed on the mouse interface circuitry and electrically connected to the capacitance fingerprint sensor. The capacitance fingerprint sensor includes a fingerprint image acquisition unit for capturing a user's fingerprint when the user's finger is positioned on the capacitance fingerprint sensor, and a fingerprint image conversion unit for converting the user's fingerprint into fingerprint signals. Thus, the mouse may be used to identify users who wish to access a computer.
