Abstract

In a verification method for use in an electronic device, a user input is received and a biologic feature data is captured while the user input is received. Then, the electronic device is prohibited from performing an operation corresponding to the user input based on a determination that the biologic feature data does not conform to a reference biologic feature data.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is a continuation application of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 887,239 filed Sep. 21, 2010, now pending. The content of the above-mentioned patent application is hereby incorporated by reference herein in its entirety and made a part of this specification.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a method and a computer program product of switching a locked state, and more particular to a method and a computer program product of switching a locked state while receiving an input from a user for an operation. The present invention also relates to an electronic device whose locked state is optionally switched while receiving an input from a user for an operation.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]In consideration of information security, it is more and more common to impart a user-verifying function to an electronic device, and more particularly to a portable device such as USB drive, smart phone, note...
