The technology that provides the capability to automatically unlock a computer when an authorized user sits in front of it and then lock the computer when the user leaves without any action required from the user is Facial Recognition.
Facial recognition technology uses biometrics to verify the identity of an individual by analyzing and comparing patterns in their facial features. This technology captures the image of a person's face, which is then analyzed using machine learning algorithms to identify unique features that can be used to verify their identity.
The system can be configured to recognize authorized users, allowing them to gain access to the computer without having to enter a username or password. When an authorized user sits in front of the computer, the facial recognition system will recognize them, and the computer will automatically unlock, providing them access to the system.
Conversely, when the authorized user leaves the computer, the facial recognition system will no longer detect their presence, and the computer will automatically lock, securing the system against unauthorized access.
Fingerprint scanners and smart cards can also provide secure access control, but they require the user to take some action to unlock or lock the computer, such as scanning a fingerprint or inserting a smart card.
Motion detectors, on the other hand, are not suitable for this scenario as they can only detect movement and cannot be used to verify the identity of an individual.
