Claim One:
1. An input device to continuously detect biometrics for facilitating continuous authentication of the user's identification based on input from sensors attached to the device comprising: means for providing a base with sensors that indicate different pressures applied to the base by a user; means for conditioning the analog signal so that it can be converted into a digital signal, electrically connected to said means for providing a base with sensors that indicate different pressures applied to the base by a user; means for receiving and analyzing data from the sensor electronics for registration and continuous authentication, electrically connected to said means for conditioning the analog signal so that it can be converted into a digital signal; means for initially linking the user's identity to the user's biometric characteristics, totally embedded to said means for receiving and analyzing data from the sensor electronics for registration and continuous authentication; means for extracting a set of biometric characteristics from the digitized signal; means for linking the user identity to the user's biometric characteristics in the database; means for continuously verifying that the identity of a user is authorized, algorithmically connected to said means for initially linking the user's identity to the user's biometric characteristics, and totally embedded to said means for receiving and analyzing data from the sensor electronics for registration and continuous authentication; means for matching a new set of biometric characteristics with the biometric characteristics in the identity database; and means for changing the user's computer access.
