SYSTEMS, METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR ENABLING WEARABLE DEVICE USER ACCESS TO SECURED ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS
Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed enable wearable device (e.g., smartwatch) user access to secured electronic systems based on at least one of user authentication for access to secured electronic system by the wearable device, user biometric authentication by a wireless carrier, user biometric authentication by remote server, user location, and user proximity to a secured electronic system. A wearable device can include a telecommunications carrier identification module (e.g., SIM), cellular RF communications, and short-range RF communications. A registration module can register secure electronic systems, authenticate a wearable device user, and grant the wearable device user with access to secured electronic systems if the wearable device user is authenticated by at least one of the wearable device, the registration module, a carrier network, a remote server, and the secured electronic system. Authentication can include biometric measurement facilitated by the wearable device.

achieving secured, short-range RF communication between the wearable device and a secured electronic system;
authenticating the user with at least one of the wearable device, a remote server via cellular communications supported by the telecommunications carrier access identification module and the cellular RF communications module, and the secured electronic system via the secured, short-range RF communication; and
providing the user with access to or through the secured electronic system once authenticated.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein said wearable device comprises a smartwatch including a microphone and skin illumination and measurement hardware, wherein authentication of the user is based on biometric information obtained from the user via at least one of the microphone and the skin illumination and measurement hardware.
11 . The method of claim 9 , wherein said wearable device includes a GPS module for determining location of the wearable device user with respect to the secured electronic system, wherein the step of providing a user access to or through the secured electronic systems is also dependent on the location of the wearable device user.
12 . The method of claim 9 , wherein said wearable device further comprises a registration module, wherein providing a user access to or through the secured electronic system is determined by at least one of the wearable device and the registration module based on at least one of: the user authenticated for access to secured electronic system by the wearable device, the user biometrically authenticated for access by a wireless carrier, the user biometrically authenticated for access by remote server, the user granted access based on location, and the user granted access based on proximity to a secured electronic system.
