Claim 0:
1. A headset for authenticating a user based on an on-going, multi-tiered authentication process, the headset comprising:
an electronic processing device;
a speaker in communication with the electronic processing device;
a microphone in communication with the electronic processing device;
a camera in communication with the electronic processing device, the camera directed towards the legs of the user when the headset is worn by the user;
an accelerometer in communication with the electronic processing device; and
a memory storing (i) point allocation instructions, (ii) referential instructions, and (iii) processing instructions that, when executed by the electronic processing device, result in:
outputting, by the speaker, a query to a user;
receiving, by the microphone and in response to the query, a response from the user;
computing, by an execution of the point allocation instructions by the electronic processing device and based on the response from the user, a first number of points;
capturing, by the camera, a video of the user's legs;
identifying, by the electronic processing device, the user's legs within the video;
identifying, by an execution of the referential instructions by the electronic processing device and based on the video of the user's legs, a first movement of the user;
retrieving, by an execution of the referential instructions by the electronic processing device, a reference movement of the first user;
comparing, by an execution of the referential instructions by the electronic processing device, the first movement of the user to the reference movement of the first user; and
computing, by an execution of the point allocation instructions by the electronic processing device and based on the comparing, a second number of points;
sensing, by the accelerometer, a second movement of the user;
identifying, by an execution of the referential instructions by the electronic processing device and based on the second movement of the user, a gesture corresponding to the second movement of the user;
computing, by an execution of the point allocation instructions by the electronic processing device and based on the gesture, a third number of points;
calculating, based on the first, second, and third numbers of points, an authorization score;
identifying that the calculated authorization score meets a threshold criterion for authorization; and
authorizing, in response to the identifying that the calculated authorization score meets the threshold criterion for authorization, the first user to access a resource.
