METHOD AND DEVICE FOR AUTHORITY MANAGEMENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G06F21/32 G06K9/62 G06F3/48 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: method for authority management, including: obtaining information about user's fingerprint based on user's touching a region of predetermined terminal interface; determining whether user is an authorised user, in accordance with the received information about fingerprint; and, if user is an unauthorised user, prohibiting authorisation to modify terminal configurations by user. Touch operation includes a long press operation; procedure for obtaining information about user's fingerprint based on the operation of touching the screen by user of predetermined terminal interface area includes: monitoring user's touch events of predetermined terminal interface area; determining whether the monitored touch event is a long-press event; and, if the monitored touch event is a long press event, obtaining information about touch coordinate during the long press event and user fingerprint information at the position of touch coordinate.

EFFECT: reducing computational load associated with preventing unauthorised user from modifying terminal configurations.
