Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for managing electronic devices with autonomous wireless authentication. In one example, the security system includes one or more computer processors, a memory, and a communication channel configured to be coupled to an electronic system. The security system further includes a radio frequency (RF) transceiver configured to receive user-authentication information from a wireless device, and an authentication subsystem for authenticating a user. The authentication subsystem enables the use of the electronic system based on the received user-authentication information. Further, the authentication subsystem sends, over the communication channel, an enable command to the electronic system after the user is authenticated, and the electronic system is not operable until the enable command is received.
