Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for automatically triggering actions on a user device based on biometrics of nearby individuals are provided herein. A method includes capturing, via one or more sensors resident on a first computing device, one or more items of biometric information from one or more individuals located within a given proximity of the first computing device; determining a degree of proximity of the one or more individuals to the first computing device; transmitting, to a second computing device, (i) the one or more captured items of biometric information from the one or more individuals and (ii) the determined degree of proximity of the one or more individuals to the first computing device; and automatically executing one or more actions on the first computing device based on an instruction provided by the second computing device in response to said transmitting.
