Abstract

A system, method and one or more wireless earpieces for authenticating utilization of one or more wireless earpieces. A request is received through the one or more wireless earpieces. Biometric readings are performed for a user utilizing sensors of the one or more wireless earpieces. The biometric readings are analyzed to determine whether a biometric profile authorizes the one or more wireless earpieces to fulfill the request. The request is authenticated in response to determining the biometric profile authorizes fulfillment of the request.

Claims (48)

1. A method for authenticating utilization of a wireless earpiece, the method comprising:

receiving a request through the wireless earpiece, wherein the request is automatically generated in response to a user action when utilizing the wireless earpiece;

accessing a biometric profile comprising a type of biometric readings, an order of biometric readings, and an accuracy of biometric readings for authenticating the request;

performing a first biometric reading for the user utilizing a first sensor of the wireless earpiece, the first sensor providing a first type of biometric readings;

performing a second biometric reading for the user utilizing a second sensor of the wireless earpiece, the second sensor providing a second type of biometric readings;

analyzing the first and the second biometric readings to determine whether the biometric profile authorizes the wireless earpiece to fulfill the request; and

authenticating the request in response to determining the biometric profile authorizes fulfillment of the request without requiring user input;

wherein the biometric readings are automatically performed in response to the wireless earpiece being positioned in an ear of the user to immediately authenticate the request utilizing the biometric profile when the biometric readings are received.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless earpiece include one or more biometric profiles associated with one or more users.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric profile includes a plurality of biometric data associated with the user.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the biometric profile specifies one or more of the plurality of biometric data that are associated with each of a plurality of actions.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of biometric data includes voice characteristics, pulse, ear mapping, and temperature.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

rejecting the request in response to determining the biometric profile does not authorize the wireless earpiece to fulfill the request.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless earpiece is an earpiece within a pair of wireless earpieces.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the biometric readings are read a number of times specified by the biometric profile to authenticate the request.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request includes at least identifying the user is authorized to perform an action associated with the request.

10. A wireless earpiece comprising:

a processor for executing a set of instructions; and

a memory for storing the set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions are executed to:

receive a request through the wireless earpiece, wherein the request is automatically generated in response to a user action when utilizing the wireless earpiece;

determine from a biometric profile a type of biometric readings for authenticating the request;

perform the biometric readings for a user utilizing sensors of the wireless earpiece based on the type of the biometric readings, wherein the biometric readings include a first biometric reading sensed with a first sensor of the wireless earpiece and a second biometric reading sensed with a second sensor of the wireless earpiece;

analyze the biometric readings including the accuracy of the biometric readings to determine whether the biometric profile authorizes the wireless earpiece to fulfill the request; and

authenticate the request in response to determining the biometric profile authorizes fulfillment of the request, without requiring user input;

wherein the biometric readings are automatically performed in response to the wireless earpiece being positioned in ears of the user to immediately authenticate the request utilizing the biometric profile when the biometric readings are received.

11. The wireless earpiece of claim 10 , wherein the memory stores one or more biometric profiles associated with one or more users.

12. The wireless earpiece of claim 10 , wherein the set of instructions are further executed to:

reject the request in response to determining the biometric profile does not authorize the wireless earpiece to fulfill the request.

13. The wireless earpiece of claim 10 , wherein the biometric profile includes a plurality of biometric data associated with the user, and wherein the biometric profile specifies one or more of the plurality of biometric data that are associated with each of a plurality of actions.

14. The wireless earpiece of claim 10 , wherein the biometric readings are read a number of times specified by the biometric profile to authenticate the request.

15. The wireless earpiece of claim 10 , wherein the set of instructions are further executed to:

fulfill the request in response to the authenticating the request, wherein the request includes at least identifying the user is authorized to perform an action associated with the request.

16. The wireless earpiece of claim 10 , wherein the set of instructions are further executed to:

play alerts to the user regarding the status of the request.

17. A wireless earpiece, comprising:

a frame for fitting in an ear of a user;

a logic engine controlling functionality of the wireless earpiece;

a memory operatively connected to the logic engine for storing one or more biometric profiles associated with one or more users; and

a plurality of sensors performing biometric readings of the user, the plurality of sensors including at least a first sensor for performing a first of the biometric readings and a sensor for performing a second of the biometric readings,

wherein the logic engine receives a request through the wireless earpiece, analyzes the biometric readings to determine whether a biometric profile authorizes the wireless earpiece to fulfill the request, and authenticates the request in response to determining the biometric profiles authorizes fulfillment of the request without requiring the user to provide input;

wherein the request is automatically generated in response to a user action when utilizing the wireless earpiece;

wherein each of the biometric profiles identifies type of biometric readings required for authentication;

wherein the biometric readings include at least voice characteristics and topographical mapping of the user;

wherein the logic engine further rejects the request in response to determining the biometric profile does not authorize the wireless earpiece to fulfill the request without requiring the user to provide input;

wherein the request is associated with identifying the user utilizing the wireless earpiece and at least one of (1) information securely stored by the wireless earpiece and (2) unlocking a feature or function accessible through the wireless earpiece;

wherein the biometric readings are automatically performed in response to the wireless earpiece being positioned in ears of the user to immediately authenticate the request utilizing the biometric profile when the biometric readings are received.

18. The wireless earpiece of claim 17 , wherein the biometric readings are read a number of times specified by the biometric profile to authenticate the request.
