Abstract
A method, performed by an electronic device, for verifying a user to allow access to the electronic device is disclosed. In this method, sensor data may be received from a plurality of sensors including at least an image sensor and a sound sensor. Context information of the electronic device may be determined based on the sensor data and at least one verification unit may be selected from a plurality of verification units based on the context information. Based on the sensor data from at least one of the image sensor or the sound sensor, the at least one selected verification unit may calculate at least one verification value. The method may determine whether to allow the user to access the electronic device based on the at least one verification value and the context information.
