Biometric authentication of a user

This invention describes an electronic device that authenticates its user by combining two types of biometric data. It uses a fingerprint sensor to capture a user's fingerprint and a motion sensor (like an accelerometer) to recognize a specific gesture performed by the user while moving the device. Both pieces of information must match the enrolled user data for authentication to succeed.

Why it matters: While the necessary sensors were available in 2017, the integration of fingerprint and gesture data for robust authentication is now more streamlined with advanced mobile operating systems and sensor fusion capabilities.
