Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1, wherein:
the object is a palm of a hand of the user and the biometric characteristic is at least one palmar crease, and processing the input comprises extracting, from the palmar crease, a biometric feature associated with the palmar crease to obtain an extracted biometric feature, and comparing the extracted biometric feature to a stored biometric feature stored in a storage device to identify a difference between the extracted biometric feature and the stored biometric feature, wherein if the difference is below a threshold, the user is identified by the palmar crease and, if the difference is above the threshold, the user is not identified by the palmar crease; or
the object is a face of the user and the biometric characteristic is at least one of a mouth, or a nose of the user within the face, and processing the input comprises extracting, from the biometric characteristic, a biometric feature from the mouth or the nose to obtain an extracted biometric feature, and comparing the extracted biometric feature to a stored biometric feature stored in a storage device to identify a difference between the extracted biometric feature and the stored biometric feature, wherein if the difference is below a threshold, the user is identified by the biometric characteristic and, if the difference is above the threshold, the user is not identified by the biometric characteristic; or
the object is an eye of the user and the biometric characteristic is an iris of the eye of the user, and processing the input comprises extracting, from the iris, a biometric feature to obtain an extracted biometric feature, and comparing the extracted biometric feature to a stored biometric feature stored in a storage device to identify a difference between the extracted biometric feature and the stored biometric feature, wherein if the difference is below a threshold, the user is identified by the iris and, if the difference is above the threshold, the user is not identified by the iris; or
the object is a bottom of a foot of the user and the biometric characteristic is a footprint of the foot, and processing the input comprises extracting, from the footprint, a biometric feature to obtain an extracted biometric feature, and comparing the extracted biometric feature to a stored biometric feature stored in a storage device to identify a difference between the extracted biometric feature and the stored biometric feature, wherein if the difference is below a threshold, the user is identified by the footprint and, if the difference is above the threshold, the user is not identified by the footprint.
