Patent attributes
The RFID phone-unlocking system is adapted for use with a personal data device. The personal data device further comprises an interrogator, a security code, and a logic module. The RFID phone-unlocking system is an application that is adapted to run on the personal data device. The RFID phone-unlocking system is a token based identification system that: 1) generates an interrogation signal using the interrogator; and, 2) upon receipt of a response from a previously identified RFID tracking tag the application will unlock a security code protecting access to the personal data device without requiring physically entering the security code directly into the personal data device. The RFID phone-unlocking system comprises an application and one or more tokens. The application comprises a set of programmed instructions implemented by the logic module. The RFID tracking tag is a token contained within the one or more tokens.
