Abstract

A method implemented on an augmented reality (AR) electronic device includes initiating a security access code software application on the AR electronic device. A user of the AR electronic device is identified. A first electronic computing device at or near a current location of the user is identified. The first electronic computing device is an input device for entry of a security code to permit access to a protected asset. A determination is made as to whether the user is authorized to access the protected asset. When a determination is made that the user is authorized to access the protected asset, a security access code is displayed on the AR electronic device. The security access code permits the user to access the protected asset via the first electronic computing device.

Claims (27)

1. A method involving an augmented reality (AR) electronic device, the method comprising:

enabling a security access code software application on the AR electronic device;

allowing the security access code software application to use the AR electronic device, a retinal image and voice to identify a user of the AR electronic device;

receiving, by the AR electronic device, a voice command requesting a security access code from the security access code software application;

generating the security access code at the AR electronic device for permitting access to a protected asset; and

using the security access code to gain access to the protected asset.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically transmitting the security access code from the AR electronic device to an input device associated with the protected asset.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying the security access code to the user.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising displaying the security access code in a heads-up display of the AR electronic device.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising displaying the security access code on a display device of the AR electronic device.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising displaying the security access code on a headset of the AR electronic device.

7. The method of claim 3 , further comprising projecting, from the AR electronic device, an image of the security access code.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising using near-field communication between the AR electronic device and the protected asset to determine when the AR electronic device is in close proximity of the protected asset.

9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising receiving identification information from the protected asset when the AR electronic device is in close proximity of the protected asset.

10. An augmented reality (AR) electronic device, comprising:

a processing unit; and

system memory, the system memory including instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to:

enable a security access code software application on the AR electronic device;

allow the security access code software application to use the AR electronic device, a retinal image and voice to identify a user of the AR electronic device;

receive, by the AR electronic device, a voice command requesting a security access code from the security access code software application;

generate the security access code at the AR electronic device for permitting access to a protected asset; and

use the security access code to gain access to the protected asset.

11. The device of claim 10 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to automatically transmit the security access code from the AR electronic device to an input device associated with the protected asset.

12. The device of claim 10 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to display the security access code to the user.

13. The device of claim 12 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to display the security access code in a heads-up display of the AR electronic device.

14. The device of claim 12 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to display the security access code on a headset of the AR electronic device.

15. The device of claim 12 , further comprising instructions which, when executed by the processing unit, cause the AR electronic device to project an image of the security access code.
