Abstract

A login engine for a network device can operate to secure or determine login access in response to a login request according to different sensor data of one or more physical properties. In response to the login request, a first sensor related to a first physical property can operate to detect individual characteristic data and content data. The individual characteristic data can be compared other individual characteristic data of a user profile, which can be stored in a data store. The content data can also be compared to other content data of the user profile. Based on these comparisons satisfying predetermined thresholds, a successful login stage of a plurality of login stages can be enabled.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An apparatus to be employed within a login engine of a network device comprising:
a first login component, communicatively coupled to a plurality of sensors that determine sensor data related to one or more different physical properties, configured to, in response to a login request:
generate a first comparison between one or more first individual characteristics related to a first physical property of the one or more different physical properties and a first set of individual characteristics in a user profile;
generate a second comparison between one or more first content data related to at least one of the first physical property, or a second physical property that is different from the first physical property, with a first set of content data in the user profile; and
in response to the first comparison and the second comparison satisfying predetermined thresholds, respectively, enabling a first successful login stage of a plurality of login stages of the network device.

2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first login component, or a second login component that is communicatively coupled to the first login component, is configured to generate at least one of a third comparison or a fourth comparison, and in response to the at least one of the third comparison or the fourth comparison satisfying one or more predetermined thresholds, respectively, enabling another successful login stage of the plurality of login stages of the network device; and wherein the third comparison is between one or more second individual characteristics of the second physical property with a second set of profile individual characteristics in the user profile, and the fourth comparison is between one or more second content data corresponding to the second physical property with a second set of individual characteristics in the user profile.

3 . The apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising:
the second login component, communicatively coupled to the first login component, further configured to generate a synchronicity determination between at least two of: the one or more first individual characteristics, the one or more first content data, the one or more first individual characteristics, or the one or more second individual characteristics, based on whether first sensor data aligns with second sensor data according to a predetermined synchronicity threshold.

4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sensors comprise one or more audio sensors configured to detect voice audio signals, a visual sensor configured to detect video signals, or a distance sensor configured to detect a distance of an external object corresponding to the login request and the network device, and wherein the one or more first individual characteristics comprise biometric data and the one or more first content data comprise a message or a sequence generated by the biometric data.

5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a user profile component configured to generate the user profile by training a data store with one or more first stored individual characteristics and one or more first stored content data, and associating the user profile to one or more different user login accounts and the network device.

6 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second login component, communicatively coupled to the first login component, configured to determine a synchronicity between first sensor data of the first physical property detected by a first sensor and a second sensor data of the second physical property detected by a second sensor, and in response to the synchronicity satisfying a synchronicity threshold further enabling another successful login stage of the plurality of login stages of the network device, wherein the first sensor data comprises the one or more first individual characteristics and the one or more first content data, and the second sensor data comprises another individual characteristic and another content datum related to the second physical property.

7 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a feedback component configured to generate a feedback message related to the login request, the feedback message comprising at least one of a network device identification, a current location, a current time, an account, an execution status or a login engine identifier, wherein the feedback component further comprises an email handler configured to communicate the feedback message in response to the login request.

8 . The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:
a confirmation component configured to, in response to the first successful login stage of the plurality of login stages, determine whether a current location, a current time, an account identification, a login execution status or a login engine identifier, associated with the network device, substantially match the user profile in response.

9 . A login engine system employed in a login engine of a wireless network, the login engine system comprising:
a first login component, communicatively coupled to a first sensor, configured, in response to a login request, to:
receive a first sensor data related to a first physical property;
generate a first determination of whether a first set of individual characteristics of the first sensor data substantially matches a first stored set of individual characteristics in an associated user profile;
generate a second determination of whether a first set of content data that corresponds to the first physical property, or to a second physical property that is different from the first physical property, substantially matches a first stored set of content data in the associated user profile; and
in response to the first determination and the second determination comprising a substantial match, enabling a successful login stage of a network device.

10 . The login engine system of claim 9 , wherein the first login component is communicatively coupled to a second sensor that is configured to receive a second sensor data related to the second physical property, wherein the first physical property comprises a different physical property than the second physical property.

11 . The login engine system of claim 9 , wherein the first login component is further configured, based on second sensor data of the second physical property from a second sensor, to generate one or more of a third determination or a fourth determination, wherein the third determination comprises determining whether a second set of individual characteristics of the second physical property substantially matches a second stored set of individual characteristics in the associated user profile with the second physical property, and the fourth determination comprises determining whether a second set of content data of the second physical property substantially matches a second stored set of content data corresponding to the associated user profile with the second physical property, and in response to the one or more of the third determination or the fourth determination comprising another substantial match, enabling the successful login stage of the network device.

12 . The login engine system of claim 11 , further comprising:
a second login component, communicatively coupled to the first login component, configured to generate a synchronicity determination between the first sensor data and the second sensor data based on whether the first sensor data aligns with the second sensor data according to a predetermined synchronicity threshold.

13 . The login engine system of claim 12 , wherein the second login component is further configured to gener
