Approaches for analyzing driver pattern deviations and reproducing the pattern deviations in a user interface or a driving simulator are provided. A computer-implemented method includes: collecting, by a server, data from plural vehicles; determining, by the server, a baseline for a driving action based on the data from the plural vehicles; identifying, by the server, a problem action for a driver based on the baseline; and generating, by the server, an interface to display the problem action.

Analyzing driver pattern deviations for training

A computer-implemented method includes: receiving, by a computing device, data identifying steering adjustments made by a driver; determining, by the computing device, an intent of the driver when making the steering adjustments; generating, by the computing device, steering assist instructions based on determining that the intent of the driver is to maintain the vehicle's position within a driving lane; and outputting, by the computing device, the steering assist instructions to counteract the steering adjustments made by the driver and maintain the vehicle's position within the driving lane.

Steering assistance based on driver analytics and behavior

A method for securely authenticating users of a device which uses pairings of a verbal passphrase and user interactions. The user interactions may be finger position on an interface of the device, number of taps on the interface of the device, or touching of the interface in a predefined area. Alternatively, the user can provide a verbal passphrase with inflection points.

Secure authentication of users of devices using tactile and voice sequencing with feedback

A mobile device includes a pre-authentication mechanism that allows a user to define a pre-authentication sequence that includes actions such as movement of the device, taps on the screen, key presses, etc., or any suitable combination of these. Correctly entering the pre-authentication sequence gives the user access to the main authentication screen for the device, while a failure to enter the pre-authentication sequence correctly keeps the device locked. Multiple pre-authentication sequences can be defined, each having a corresponding sleep time threshold. This requires the user to enter the appropriate authentication information corresponding to the time the device has been asleep. Multiple pre-authentication sequences can also be defined, each having corresponding authentication information. Thus, the authentication information the user needs to enter can be a function of the corresponding pre-authentication sequence.
