Disclosed is a mobile device to provide enhanced security based upon contextual sensor inputs. The mobile device may include: a biometric sensor; a contextual sensor; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: determine an authentication score based upon a biometric input received from the biometric sensor; modulate the authentication score based upon a contextual sensor input from the contextual sensor related to an event; and determine if the modulated authentication score falls below a predetermined threshold. If the authentication score falls below the predetermined threshold, the processor may command that a secondary authentication be performed.

Systems and methods are provided for discerning the intent of a device wearer primarily based on movements of the eyes. The system may be included within unobtrusive headwear that performs eye tracking and controls screen display. The system may also utilize remote eye tracking camera(s), remote displays and/or other ancillary inputs. Screen layout is optimized to facilitate the formation and reliable detection of rapid eye signals. The detection of eye signals is based on tracking physiological movements of the eye that are under voluntary control by the device wearer. The detection of eye signals results in actions that are compatible with wearable computing and a wide range of display devices.

A method of utilizing wireless earpieces for hub communications in embodiments of the present invention may have one or more of the following steps: (a) activating the wireless earpieces, (b) connecting one or more devices to the wireless earpieces, (c) performing first biometric measurements of the user utilizing the wireless earpieces, (d) receiving second biometric measurements from the one or more devices, (e) determining if the one or more devices is located on the same user as the wireless earpieces by comparing the second biometric measurements to the first biometric measurements, (f) receiving a communication to be sent through the wireless earpieces from the one or more devices, and (g) sending the communication to reach a receiving party in response to the determination the second biometric measurements are similar to the first biometric measurements.

A method for controlling a screen in an electronic device is provided. The method includes receiving, from a first external device, rotation input information entered by rotation of a rotation input device included in the first external device, and controlling an object displayed on a display based on the received rotation input information.

Systems and methods are described related to using flexible circuity in a payment device. In one embodiment, a payment device comprises a computing device and a memory. The computing device is configured to store a biometric identifier associated with a transaction account. The computing device is configured to at least receive, by the antenna, an interrogation signal from a point of sale (POS) device in order to activate the payment device for a payment transaction. The computing device is configured to determine a scanned fingerprint identifier of a user based at least in part on the interrogation signal activating the payment device and authenticate the scanned fingerprint identifier by matching the scanned fingerprint identifier to the biometric identifier. The transaction account is transmitted to the POS device for processing the payment transaction based at least in part on the authentication of the scanned fingerprint identifier.

A wearable electronic device includes: an input module configured to receive a user manipulation for changing a configuration setting value of a main electronic device; and a communication module configured to transmit a control signal for changing a configuration setting value to the main electronic device.

A mobile communication terminal A performs near field communication with another mobile communication terminal B by a near field communication unit and obtains a communication distance with another mobile communication terminal B. An information acquisition unit acquires information on another mobile communication terminal B, information on the mobile communication terminal A, or both of the information when the communication distance to the other mobile communication terminal B is equal to or more than a threshold. An abnormality determination unit determines an abnormal state of the mobile communication terminal A based on information (position information, wearing information, or the like) acquired by the information acquisition unit. When the abnormality determination unit determines that the mobile communication terminal A is in the abnormal state, a lock unit locks the mobile communication terminal A, the other mobile communication terminal B or both of those mobile communication terminals.

In an authentication method, a wireless communication is established between a mobile device and a wearable device. A proximity is detected between the mobile device and the wearable device by comparing mobile device position information and wearable device position information. Access to the mobile device is granted based on a detected proximity.
