Abstract:
1. A device comprising: a hardware processor; and a computer-readable storage medium having computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the hardware processor, cause the hardware processor to: detect values of multiple biometric features relating to a user performing an authentication gesture relative to the device, wherein an individual biometric feature reflects a relative positioning of a body part used in performing the authentication gesture with respect to the device; retrieve stored values of the multiple biometric features obtained during a training session where the user repeatedly performed the authentication gesture; obtain a personalized similarity threshold derived from the stored values, wherein the personalized similarity threshold is based on the relative positioning of the body part when the user repeatedly performed the authentication gesture during the training session; compare the detected values to the stored values; and, in an instance where a similarity of the detected values to the stored values satisfies the personalized similarity threshold, authenticate the user on the device.
