CPC Class H04W

Some implementations are directed to generating a personal database entry for a user based on free-form natural language input formulated by the user via one or more user interface input devices of a computing device of the user. The generated personal database entry may include one or more terms of the natural language input and descriptive metadata determined based on one or more terms of the natural language input and/or based on contextual features associated with receiving the natural language input. Some implementations are directed to generating, based on one or more personal database entries of a user, output that is responsive to further free-form natural language input of the user. For example, one or more entries that are responsive to further natural language input of the user can be identified based on matching content of those entries to one or more search parameters determined based on the further input.

A recipient communication device and method wherein a user authenticates a message that is being received. The method includes receiving, by a messaging utility of the recipient communication device, a message transmitted from a sender communication device. The messaging utility determines that one of (a) sender authentication of the message and (b) recipient authentication to open the message is required. In response to sender authentication being required, the recipient communication device transmits a request to the sender communication device for sender authentication of the message, and receives a certification of the message based on an authentication of a user input via the sender communication device. When recipient authentication is required, the recipient is prompted to enter biometric input at the recipient device. In one embodiment, a clearinghouse service authenticates a user of a communication device in order for the recipient communication device to receive certification of the user and/or the message.

The present disclosure generally relates to enrolling a biometric feature for use with a peripheral device. While a computer system is connected to an external device, the computer system receives a first request to enroll a biometric feature. In response to receiving the request and in accordance with a determination that the request satisfies a first set of one or more criteria, the computer system displays a user interface object prompting a user to provide an authorization input to one or more input devices physically connected to the computer system. While displaying the first user interface object, the computer system receives user input. In response to receiving the user input and in accordance with a determination that the user input includes the authentication input, the computer system initiates a process to enroll the biometric feature using a biometric sensor that is integrated with the external device.

A system and method for authenticating a face mask with a user for providing secure access to a user device whereby received on the user device is a request from the user to pair a user face mask having a pre-printed unique identifier with the user device for user authentication purposes. The user device captures an image of the pre-printed unique identifier on the user face mask so as to associate the captured image of the unique identifier with the user device. Afterwards, when the user requests access to the user device in a locked state, the user device is caused to capture of an image of the unique identifier affixed to the user face mask. The user device may further be caused to capture an image of at least a portion of the user's face to authenticate the captured unique identifier affixed to the user face mask with the captured portion of the user's face to verify the captured unique identifier and the captured portion of the user's face are associated with the user device.
