摘要

A system and related method are provided for user authentication and dynamic usability of touch-screen devices. The system utilizes probability distribution representations including an authorized user probability distribution representation and a global or wide population probability distribution representation, to associate the purported authorized user to the authorized user. Touch dynamics or data, or other data from similar measurable characteristics, can be utilized to associate the purported authorized user and the authorized user and to determine optimal positions and sizes for user interface components.
