An implant including a platform that performs computations and that is configured to communicate with an external system, and at least one sensor that is connected to the platform and that communicates with the platform, the at least one sensor is configured to sense a biological environment surrounding the implant. The platform is configured to generate a bio-signature that corresponds to the biological environment sensed by the at least one sensor and to utilize the bio-signature to cryptographically secure data provided in the platform. The platform is configured to permit the system to access the data when the at least one sensor senses the biological environment that corresponds to the generated bio-signature, and the platform is configured to deny the system access to the data when the at least one sensor fails to sense the biological environment that corresponds to the generated bio-signature.

It is provided a wearable device for determining when a user has fallen down. The wearable device comprises: a first biometric sensor for obtaining first biometric data of the user, wherein the first biometric sensor is a first accelerometer configured to measure acceleration of a part of a first limb of the user; a second biometric sensor for obtaining second biometric data of the user comprising a finger pressure parameter; and a third biometric sensor for obtaining third biometric data, the third biometric sensor being a second accelerometer configured to measure acceleration of a body part of the user being distinct from the first limb. The wearable device is configured to determine an identity of the user is based on the first biometric data, the second biometric data and the third biometric data, the identity being used to control access to a physical space, and to determine when the user has fallen down.

A method to implement multifactor authentication of a user may include performing biometric authentication of a person that bears the wearable electronic device and at least one of: performing knowledge-based authentication of the person or presenting an access control token of the wearable electronic device to an access reader that performs token-based authentication of the person. Performing biometric authentication may include receiving a first biometric signal generated by a wearable electronic device and determining a person-specific biometric characteristic of the person therefrom; comparing the person-specific biometric characteristic to a user-specific biometric characteristic of the user determined from a second biometric signal generated when the wearable electronic device was born by the user; and based on the comparing, determining a confidence level that the person is the user to determine a positive or negative authentication of the person as the user.

An electronic employee card is disclosed, which includes a control module and a communication module, the control module being configured to be in data communication with a server through the communication module. The control module may control the communication module to transmit the identifying information of an electronic employee card holder captured in real time to the server and obtain a comparing result generated in the server accordingly, which is obtained by comparing the identifying information of the holder captured in real time with personnel identity information prestored in the server; or the control module may obtain the personnel identity information prestored in the server and compare it with the identifying information of the holder captured in real time to generate the comparing result.

In biometric ticketing, physical token-less ticketing system using biometrics, a person may be identified using a digital representation of a biometric. Ticketing information may be ascertained based on the identification. The ticketing information may be provided, actions may be performed using the ticketing information, and so on. In some implementations, a checkpoint device receives biometric data from a person. A digital representation of the biometric data is used to obtain an identifier from an identification system. The digital representation of the biometric data may not be included in the identifier. The identifier is used by to obtain ticketing information from a ticketing system. The person may be allowed or denied entry into a ticketed area based on the ticketing information.

A method of granting seamless access to a room including: detecting a location of a mobile device being carried by an individual; determining that the location of the mobile device is located proximate a property entrance to a property; obtaining a picture of a face of the individual using a camera; verifying an identity of the individual in response to at least the picture of the face of the individual; and transmitting a digital room key to the mobile device.

The application provides an enrolment card for a biometric card with a first card body. The enrolment card includes a battery for providing electrical power, a microcontroller unit that is electrically connected to the battery, and a plurality of contact pins that are electrically connected to the battery and to the microcontroller unit. The enrolment card further includes a second card body with a card engagement element. The second card body is sized to correspond to the first card body. The battery and the second microcontroller unit are embedded in the second card body. The enrolment card provides an enrolment mode, wherein the card engagement element engages with the first card body for allowing the contact pins to contact corresponding contact pads of the biometric card and the battery provides the electrical power to the biometric card.

An electronic device having at least one operational setting, such as a power setting, with at least a first state and a second state. The electronic device may also include an access controller that can receive state data and authorization data from an external source such as a remote control. The access controller may enable a state of the operational setting upon receipt of proper authorization data received from or related to the output from at least one biometric sensor associated with the remote control.
