Patent attributes
An apparatus for vehicle operator authentication operations can include multiple memory devices coupled to a processor. The processor can perform an authentication operation using determined driving patterns associated with an authorized operator of a vehicle in which the apparatus is deployed and information received from a global positioning satellite and a base station to determine whether a current operator of the vehicle is the authorized operator of the vehicle and determine whether the vehicle has experienced a vehicle event. The processor can also re-allocate computing resources between the first memory device and the second memory device in response to the determination that the vehicle has experienced the vehicle event and perform, using the re-allocated computing resources, a subsequent authentication operation using the determined driving patterns and the information received from the global positioning satellite and the base station to determine whether the current operator of the vehicle is the authorized operator of the vehicle.
