A device includes an enclosure and logic. The enclosure includes a plurality of capacitive touch sensor arrays disposed at least on two of a top side, a bottom side, a left side, a right side, a front side, and a back side of the device. The enclosure also includes a first display on the front side of the device. The logic receives touch interaction information from the plurality of capacitive touch sensor arrays and initiates an action based at least in part on the touch interaction information.

A user authentication system and method. A two-dimensional image of a scene is obtained and range information obtained from the scene is aligned with the two-dimensional image. One or more depth regions is identified and image segments corresponding to the one or more depth regions are selected within the two-dimensional image. Brightness operations are performed on one or more of the selected image segments to form a corrected image.

System and techniques for spoofing detection in image biometrics are described herein. A sequence of images may be obtained from a camera; a first plurality of images in the sequence of images including a representation of a user body part, and a second plurality of images in the sequence of images including a representation of an environment of the user. A marker may be created for the representation of the body part. A feature of the environment of the user present during the second plurality of images may be identified in the sequence of images using a third group of circuits. A correlation between the marker and the feature of the environment in the sequence of images may be quantified to produce a synchronicity metric of the degree to which the marker and the feature of the environment correlate.

System and techniques for preventing face-based authentication spoofing are described herein. A visible light emitter may be controlled to project a pattern into a camera's field of view during an authentication attempt. An image may be obtained from the camera for the authentication attempt. A potential spoofing region on image may be identified by finding the pattern. An authentication attempt based on a face found in the potential spoofing region may be prevented.

Techniques for interaction detection are described herein. The techniques may include detecting, via a depth sensing module, a physical object at a plane of a display. The techniques may also include detecting, via the depth sensing module, a reflection of the physical object at the plane of the display. An interaction module may identify an interaction of the physical object with the display based on a meeting point of the detected physical object and the detected reflection.

Display interaction detection

Systems, devices, and techniques are provided for occupancy assessment of a vehicle. For one or more occupants of the vehicle, the occupancy assessment establishes position and/or identity for some or all of the occupant(s).

Mobile device rejection of unintentional sensor contact. An embodiment of a mobile device includes a first touch sensor to detect contact by a user of the mobile device for input of gestures by the user, a memory to store indicators of unintentional contact to the first touch sensor, and a processor to evaluate contact to the first touch sensor. The processor compares a contact with the first touch sensor to the indicators of unintentional contact to determine if the contact is unintentional, and the mobile device rejects the contact as an input to the mobile device if the contact is determined to be unintentional and accepts the contact as an input to the mobile device if the contact is determined to be intentional.
