Abstract:
An electronic device can include a processing device operatively connected to a biometric sensing device. The biometric sensing device may capture a biometric image each time a user interacts with the electronic device. When the user enters user identification data (UID) and a biometric image was recently captured, the biometric image is tagged with the UID. The user can access the electronic device and/or an application being accessed on the electronic device when a subsequently captured biometric image matches a tagged biometric image or an untagged biometric image that is assigned to a cluster that includes a tagged biometric image.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for authenticating a user of an electronic device that includes a biometric sensing device, the method comprising:\n capturing, as part of background operations of the electronic device, a first biometric as a user interacts with the electronic device; receiving user identification data (UID) from the user as the user interacts with the electronic device; if the first biometric and the UID are received within a given time period of each other:\n tagging the first biometric with the UID; and \n assigning the tagged first biometric to a cluster, wherein the cluster comprises one or more biometrics associated with a respective biometric attribute of the user; \n capturing, as part of the background operations of the electronic device, a second biometric as the user interacts with the electronic device; determining if the second biometric matches at least one biometric in the cluster; and providing the user with access to the electronic device or to an application on the electronic device in response to determining that the second biometric matches at least one biometric in the cluster.
