Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a communications interface; a user prompting device; a biometric sensor; and a controller capable of performing biometric spoof detection with said biometric sensor, receiving a first request for a user-independent human presence verification from a remote device via said communications interface, sending a notification to the remote device via said communications interface that said biometric sensor is coupled to said controller, prompting a user, via said user prompting device, with a second request for a verification action using said biometric sensor based upon receiving the first request for a user-independent human presence verification, determining that the user has completed the verification action using said biometric sensor in response to the prompting and based upon the biometric spoof detection and without performing a biometric authentication, and sending a response corresponding to the second request verification for the verification action using said biometric sensor to the remote device via said communications interface and based upon the determining to thereby bypass processing of the received first request.
