Automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication
Devices, systems, and techniques for automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication are described herein. In one example, one or more processors may obtain first biometric data derived from one or more sensor signals generated by one or more sensors of a first device coupled to a user. The one or more processors may obtain second biometric data derived from one or more sensor signals generated by one or more sensors of a second device. The one or more processors may compare the first biometric data and the second biometric data, determine that the second device is coupled to the user based on the comparison, and establish a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is coupled to the user.
1. A method for automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication, the method comprising:
obtaining, by one or more processors, first biometric data from a first device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attached to a body of a user, wherein the first biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the first device;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, second biometric data from a second device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attachable to the body of the user, wherein the second biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the second device;
comparing, by the one or more processors, the first biometric data and the second biometric data;
determining, by the one or more processors, that the second device is attached to the body of the user based on the comparison;
establishing, by the one or more processors, a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is attached to the body of the user; and
instructing, by the one or more processors, to detach the first device from the body of the user.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
prior to establishing the communication link, obtaining third biometric data derived from the one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the first device; and
advertising the third biometric data to any devices in a predetermined area local to the one or more processors.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the third biometric data is different from the first biometric data.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein advertising the third biometric data is performed upon determining that the first device is being removed from service.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second biometric data is advertised to any devices in a predetermined area local to the second device when the second device determines it is being placed into service.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing the communication link with the second device comprises initiating establishment of the communication link.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein establishing the communication link with the second device comprises confirming establishment of the communication link.
8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising communicating user-specific configuration data to the second device via the communication link.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first device comprises the one or more processors.
10. The method of claim 1 , wherein an intermediate device is logically situated between the first and second devices, and wherein the intermediate device comprises the one or more processors.
11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first biometric data and the second biometric data correspond to the same time period.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors of the first device and the one or more sensors of the second device include a temperature sensor.
13. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors of the first device and the one or more sensors of the second device include a glucose sensor.
14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first biometric data and the second biometric data comprise absolute or relative timings for a plurality of glucose level inflection points.
15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more sensors of the first device and the one or more sensors of the second device include an inertial measurement sensor.
16. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first biometric data and the second biometric data comprise absolute or relative timings for a plurality of accelerations exceeding a predetermined threshold.
17. The method of claim 1 , wherein each of the first device and the second device includes an insulin pump.
18. A system for automatic network configuration based on biometric authentication, the system comprising:
one or more processors; and
one or more processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:
obtaining first biometric data from a first device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attached to a body of a user, wherein the first biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the first device;
obtaining second biometric data from a second device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attachable to the body of the user, wherein the second biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the second device;
comparing the first biometric data and the second biometric data;
determining that the second device is attached to the body of the user based on the comparison;
establishing a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is attached to the body of the user; and
instructing, by the one or more processors, to detach the first device from the body of the user.
19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processor-readable storage media further store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of:
prior to establishing the communication link, obtaining third biometric data derived from the one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the first device; and
advertising the third biometric data to any devices in a predetermined area local to the one or more processors.
20. One or more non-transitory processor-readable storage media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause performance of:
obtaining first biometric data from a first device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attached to a body of a user, wherein the first biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the first device;
obtaining second biometric data from a second device that includes one or more sensors and that is entirely attachable to the body of the user, wherein the second biometric data is derived from one or more sensor signals generated by the one or more sensors of the second device;
comparing the first biometric data and the second biometric data;
determining that the second device is attached to the body of the user based on the comparison;
establishing a communication link with the second device based on the determination that the second device is attached to the body of the user; and
instructing, by the one or more processors, to detach the first device from the body of the user.
