Abstract

For login based command activation is disclosed, a processor detects a login interaction that includes a login time interval. The processor further detects a voice command concurrent with the login time interval. The processor activates the voice command based on the voice command being concurrent with the login time interval.

Claims (31)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a processor;

a memory that stores code executable by the processor to:

detect a login interaction of a fingerprint identification of a finger on a fingerprint sensor, the login interaction comprising a login time interval that begins with the login interaction and ends with completion of the login interaction;

detect a voice command concurrent with the login time interval; and

activate the voice command based on the voice command being concurrent with login time interval.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the voice command is detected from a login activation command set that is a subset of a command set.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the login activation command set comprises a navigation command, a communication command, and/or a display command.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the login interaction is further selected from the group consisting of a swipe password, a numeric password, a picture password, and a voice identification.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the login interaction further comprises a proximity login.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein an audio buffer continuously buffers audio inputs from a microphone and a login time interval start precedes a login interaction start by a start buffer time interval.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a login time interval end lags a login interaction end by an end buffet time interval.

8. A method comprising:

detecting, by use of a processor, a login interaction of a fingerprint of a finger on a fingerprint sensor, the login interaction comprising a login time interval that begins with the login interaction and ends with completion of the login interaction;

detecting a voice command concurrent with the login time interval; and

activating the voice command based on the voice command being concurrent with login time interval.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the voice command is detected from a login activation command set that is a subset of a command set.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the login activation command set comprises a navigation command, a communication command, and/or a display command.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the login interaction is selected from the group consisting of a swipe password, a numeric password, a picture password, and a voice identification.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the login interaction further comprises a proximity login.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein an audio buffer continuously buffers audio inputs from a microphone and a login time interval start precedes a login interaction start by a start buffer time interval.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein a login time interval end lags a login interaction end by an end buffet time interval.

15. A program product comprising a computer readable storage medium that stores code executable by a processor, the executable code comprising code to:

detect a login interaction of a fingerprint identification of a finger on a fingerprint sensor, the login interaction comprising a login time interval that begins with the login interaction and ends with completion of the login interaction;

detect a voice command concurrent with the login time interval; and

activate the voice command based on the voice command being concurrent with login time interval.

16. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the voice command is detected from a login activation command set that is a subset of a command set.

17. The program product of claim 16 , wherein the login activation command set comprises a navigation command, a communication command, and/or a display command.

18. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the login interaction is selected from the group consisting of swipe password, a numeric password, a picture password, and a voice identification.

19. The program product of claim 15 , wherein the login interaction further comprises a proximity login.

20. The program product of claim 15 , wherein an audio buffer continuously buffers audio inputs from a microphone and a login time interval start precedes a login interaction start by a start buffer time interval and a login time interval end lags a login interaction end by an end buffet time interval.
