Patent attributes
A smart credential is programmed to show personal information regarding a user on a display when such information is desired or required, and to conceal some or all of the personal information of the user at other times. The information displayed by the credential may pertain to a location of the credential, a level of authorization of the user, or a task or function to be performed by the user. When the credential executes a handshake with a beacon at a secure facility, relevant information regarding the location, the level of authorization, the task or the function is displayed on the credential, and irrelevant information is not displayed. Additionally, a signature of motion by a bearer of a credential may be compared to a signature of motion of an authorized user of the credential in order to determine whether the bearer of the credential is the authorized user.
