Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to a computer-implemented-method of operating a computing device. The computer-implemented method includes using a local touch-activated sensor of the computing device to receive an input signal, wherein the input signal has been generated at a remote touch-activated sensor based on capacitive coupling between the remote touch-activated sensor and a human, passed to the human using the capacitive coupling between the remote touch-activated sensor and the human, passed through the human, and transmitted from the human to the local touch-activated sensor of the computing device using a capacitive coupling between the human and the local touch-activated sensor. Functionality of the computing device is limited based at least in part on analyzing, using the computing device, at least one characteristic of the input signal.
