Assignee: T-MOBILE USA, INC.
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 9:
10. At least one computer-readable medium, excluding transitory signals, carrying instructions that, when executed by a computing system, cause the computing system to perform operations for granting user access to resources associated with a telecommunications network, the operations comprising:
receive, at a mobile device of a user, heartbeat information associated with the user,
wherein the heartbeat information is captured by a sensor communicatively coupled to the mobile device;

access a set of user cardiac signatures,
wherein each cardiac signature in the set of cardiac signatures includes a QRS complex, and
wherein the QRS complex includes interval information, amplitude information, a morphological feature, or any combination thereof;

determine a match beyond a threshold probability between the received heartbeat information and a user cardiac signature of the set of user cardiac signatures;
when the match is determined between the received heartbeat information and the user cardiac signature of the set of user cardiac signatures, perform a first authentication,
wherein the first authentication authorizes the user to access at least one hardware or software function of the mobile device;

access subscriber identity module (SIM) information associated with the mobile device;
based on the SIM information, perform a second authentication,
wherein the second authentication authorizes the mobile device to access the telecommunications network; and

based on the first authentication and the second authentication, grant, to the user, access to the resource associated with the telecommunications network.
