Abstract
The system and method provide a technique for providing an information handling device with increased access to secure data by detecting the location of an information handling device on a surface in relation to at least one sensor located within the physical surface, and determining that the information handling device is an authenticated device based upon a communication between the at least one sensor and the information handling device. An orientation of the at least one sensor(s) present in the physical surface, or a sensor trigger area of the physical surface, may align with previously associated sensors coupled to the information handling device. Subsequent to determining the position of the sensors coupled to the device aligns with the at least one sensor trigger area, the information handling device may be authenticated which results in increased access to the device.
