Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for managing access to a shared resource based on identity that is established by use of biometric data. A biometric locking device (i.e., a “b-lock”) can be used to restrict access to a shared resource, such as a house, a car, etc. In some embodiments, the b-lock can establish an identity of a user based on biometric data obtained by a biometric sensor of the b-lock, and can register the biometric data. After the biometric data is registered, the user can scan, e.g., his finger using the biometric sensor of the b-lock, and the b-lock can verify that the biometric data obtained based on the scan of the finger matches the registered biometric data. Once verified, the b-lock can unlock a locking mechanism of the b-lock to enable the user to access the shared resource.
