摘要:
Multiple biometric samples (180) of an authorized user are associated with protected material (170), and access (250) to protected material (170) is based on a comparison of a sample (210) of a biometric to these multiple protection-samples (180) of the biometric. The likelihood of wrongly-denying access to the material is controlled by the criteria used in the comparison (240) of the access-sample to each protection-sample. The likelihood of wrongly-allowing access to the material is controlled by the criteria used to grant access (370) based on the multiple comparisons. To further control the likelihood of wrongly-allowing access to the material, multiple biometric samples (210) are collected during the access-granting period, and these multiple access-samples (210) are compared to the multiple protection-samples (180).
摘要:
An apparatus for reproducing an information signal stored on a first storage medium (4). The apparatus comprises a reading unit (2) for reading the information signal from the first storage medium, an output unit (6) for supplying the information signal to a display unit, an user controllable input unit (8) for receiving commands to enable an user to access the information signal. The user controllable input unit is adapted to receive a first command at an instant. The apparatus further comprises a unit (10) for controlling the reading unit to start reading the information signal from said storage medium at a second position in the information signal in response to said first command, the information signal at said second position having features showing a similarity with features of the information signal at a first position read at said instant of receiving said first command, or a features of an information signal read prior to said instant.
