Specific embodiment
The embodiment described herein relates to the use of the limited visit of the biological attribute data operation electronic equipment of long range acquisition The method and apparatus for asking feature.
For example, electronic equipment can be may include operational controls power supply, volume, channel, screen intensity etc. TV Machine.For another example, thermostat may include the control of operating air conditioner, heater and fan.Electronic equipment with operating characteristics and setting Other examples may include laptop computer and desktop computer, smart phone, tablet computer, home automation controllers, Wearable device, health equipment, sports equipment, accessory device, security system, vehicle, household electrical appliance, television set, set-top box etc..
In these and associated exemplary, electronic equipment may include limited access feature.For example, television set can need user Pass code check specific channel, or in other cases, specific time in one day after or before, turns on TV Machine.In different examples, thermostat can need physical key to change temperature or setting.In other examples, family Security system can need fetcher code to equip with arms so as to the system of equiping with arms or deactivation system.Other electronic equipments can have other limited Access feature.
In certain embodiments, electronic equipment may include the limited accass feature for preventing or allowing to modify electronic equipment Access controller.Access controller can distinguish candidate user, approved user and be rejected user.As used herein, " candidate uses Family " includes all unknown subscribers of electronic equipment.As used herein, " approved user " or " authorized user " includes being allowed to visit Ask and operate all users of the limited accass feature of electronic equipment.Similarly, as used herein, " it is rejected user " or " not Authorized user " includes all users for not being allowed access to or operating the limited accass feature of electronic equipment.
In some embodiments, access controller can receive the status number of the remote controler from external source such as television set According to both with authorization data.For example, status data may include the identification requested limited accass channel of candidate user, and authorize Data may include that candidate user is identified as to the data of approved user for certain.For example, in certain embodiments, authorizing number According to can be fetcher code.In other cases, authorization data may include the information for identifying approved user.In other situation Under, authorization data may include information associated with approved user group.
Candidate user can be identified as awarding by other embodiments as described herein by the biological attribute data of long range acquisition Weigh user.In some cases, biological attribute data can be special from the objective biological characteristic for being configured as detection candidate user The output or related to the output of the sensor of property.For example, sensor can be fingerprint sensor, the fingerprint sensor is detectable The ridge of candidate user fingerprint and the unique arrangement of paddy.In another example, sensor can be detectable candidate user eyes The retina or iris sensor of unique variation in structure.Other examples of biometric sensor may include electrocardiogram sensing Device, vein imaging sensor, speech transducer, optical sensor, pyroelectric sensor or the uniqueness that user can be objectively measured Any other sensor of biological characteristic characteristic.
In other examples, more than one sensor and/or more than one sensor type can be synergistically used for from multiple Candidate user is identified as authorized user for certain by the biological characteristic characteristic of independent measurement.For example, in certain embodiments, it is more A fingerprint sensor can be used for through multiple fingerprint recognition candidate users.For another example, the output from fingerprint sensor and from quiet The output of arteries and veins imaging sensor can be used for identifying candidate user by fingerprint and vein pattern.In this way, term " sensor " can It is understood to cover both single and multiple Sensor Implementations.It in some cases, can be independently or collaboratively using not The living things feature recognition of candidate user is provided with multiple sensors of living things feature recognition type.
Biometric sensor may include the portable remote controller communicated in the electronic equipment for attempting to operate with candidate user It is interior.For example, sensor can be included in the remote controler of television set, or in other examples, sensor can be included in control For being used together with domestic automation system in panel processed.In other examples, sensor may include it is multi-functional just In the formula electronic equipment of taking such as smart phone, wearable device, health monitor or other similar equipment.It is real in these and correlation It applies in each of scheme, portable remote controller can receive the biological attribute data from biometric sensor, the biology Characteristic can be compared with template biological characteristic, candidate user is identified as approved user for certain, or In alternative form, candidate user is identified as to be rejected user.Template biological characteristic can be pre-recorded in the training process Or it is otherwise collected from authorized user.For example, template data can be the fingerprint of the authorized user previously measured.
In many related embodiments, it may be determined that between the biological attribute data and template biological characteristic of measurement Similarity measure.In many examples, similarity measure can be linear.For example, if the biological attribute data of measurement Identical as template biological characteristic, then similarity measure can be equal to 100.In another example, if the biology of measurement The half (for example, partial fingerprints matching) of characteristic only matching template data, then similarity measure can be equal to 50.Another In a example, if the very fraction of the biological attribute data only matching template data of measurement, similarity measure can wait In 10.Algorithm, method or the process of similitude between biological attribute data and template biological characteristic for determining measurement It can not be identical between embodiment and embodiment, sensor and sensor or template and template.It can be in various embodiments Use different scale and measurement method and/or similarity analysis.For example, in certain embodiments, logarithmic scale can be used Measure similitude.
Once calculating, measured value that is determining or otherwise deriving similitude, certain embodiments can determine measurement Similitude whether be more than specific selected threshold value.In certain embodiments, the biological attribute data of measurement can be set The threshold value of the similitude of measurement between template biological characteristic, so that if it exceeds the threshold, the biology of measurement can be ratified Characteristic.In this way, threshold value, which can limit, is identified as approved user institute associated with specific template for candidate user for certain The confidence level needed.
For example, threshold value can be set to 90, so that only when the biological attribute data of measurement and template biological characteristic The biological attribute data that just approval measures when changing less than 10.In another example, threshold value can be set to 51 so that only when The biological attribute data of measurement is just ratified in the biological attribute data of measurement and the variation of template biological characteristic when being no more than 49. It should be appreciated that 100 given scales are only example.In certain embodiments, can come without reference to any numerical scale Determine the matching of the biological attribute data of the measurement for template.For example, matching may depend on the one of matching biological data A or multiple features, rather than particular percentile or relative quantity.
In certain embodiments, selected threshold value can be set at least partly to consider sensor and/or similar Error in property measured value.For example, if it is known that the output from specific similarity measurement value-based algorithm have error, then can be specific Ground selects threshold value to reduce the probability of mistake approval.As used herein, " mistake approval " or " false positive " includes actually Candidate user is identified as approved user when candidate user should be identified as unauthorized user.By selecting high threshold, through criticizing Mutatis mutandis family can be sure that candidate user is less likely to be mistaken as approved user.
Although reducing the probability of mistake approval, high threshold can lead to the increase of the False Rejects to approved user. As used herein, " False Rejects " should be identified as being identified as candidate user when authorized user including actually candidate user Unauthorized user.
For example, the similitude for 80 measurement is no more than the threshold value for being 90, and without approval.If candidate user is practical On be authorized user, then this example that can be False Rejects.Similarly, the similitude for 55 measurement is no more than the threshold for being 90 Value.If candidate user is actually unauthorized user, this can be the example really refused.
On the other hand, in the case where threshold value is 51, the similitude for 55 and 80 measurement can go through.In such case Under, there is the candidate user of the similitude for 80 to go through.If candidate user is actually authorized user, this be can be very The example just ratified.In addition, if candidate user is actually unauthorized user, then there is the time of the similitude of the measurement for 55 Family is selected to may make up wrong approval.
In this way, reducing the possibility that a possibility that threshold value is allowed to increase mistake approval reduces False Rejects as cost Property.Equally, a possibility that threshold value is allowed to increase False Rejects is improved as cost come a possibility that reducing mistake approval.
In certain embodiments, it is associated not that limited accass features different from electronic equipment may be selected in authorized user Same threshold value.For example, user can wish to limit the access to certain television channels and access max volume.In this case, it uses Family can determine can be for not selecting the false positive of unauthorized channels troublesome for the false positive of louder volume.Similarly, it uses Family can find, can be than more making us angry to the False Rejects for requesting access to unauthorized channels to the False Rejects for requesting access to louder volume Fire.In other cases, threshold value can change over time, perhaps in alternative form or can be in limited accass feature Change between limited accass feature.
