Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electronic equipment comprises a sensor circuit operative to measure at least one electrical property of a user at a plurality of frequencies to thereby capture frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user. The electronic equipment comprises a processing circuit operative to perform a comparison between the frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user and reference characteristics to authenticate the user. The processing circuit is operative to perform an unlocking operation based on a result of the comparison.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An electronic equipment, comprising: a sensor circuit operative to measure at least one electrical property of a user at a plurality of different frequencies to thereby capture frequency-resolved electrical characteristics of the user, said sensor circuit including an output for applying a probe signal to the user, and an input for receiving a response signal from the user in response to the probe signal, wherein said sensor circuit is configur…
