Samsung patents login method using voice and hand gestures

Samsung has filed a patent for a system that lets users log into devices using a combination of their voice and a specific hand gesture. During setup, the device analyzes the gesture to suggest words, which the user selects to create a unique profile. To unlock the device later, the user must speak those words while performing the same gesture.

Why it mattersThis approach could offer a more secure way to verify identity by requiring two physical actions simultaneously, rather than relying on a single password or fingerprint.

In the filing’s own words

An electronic apparatus is disclosed. The electronic apparatus comprises an interface, a memory and one or more processors. The one or more processors is configured to: identify a gesture for account registration based on sensing data acquired through the interface; provide at least one candidate word to be selected by a user based on feature information of the gesture; determine the at least one candidate word selected by the user; store, in the memory, account information including the at least on candidate word selected and the feature information of the gesture. Based on the user voice with the at least one candidate word and the gesture, control the electronic apparatus to perform an operation based on the account information corresponding to the user voice and the gesture of the user from among a plurality of pieces of account information stored in the memory.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)
