Abstract:

An authentication apparatus for a vehicle comprises a display device comprising a display screen configured to present display data and a scanning device configured to capture image data in a field of view. The field of view comprises a viewing region of the display device. The apparatus further comprises a controller configured to control the scanning device to capture the image data comprising a biometric data of a user and compare the biometric data of a user to an authentication template of the user. The controller is configured to validate a first authentication in response to the comparison indicating the biometric data of the user satisfies the authentication template. The controller is further configured to process a second authentication based on the image data. The second authentication comprises identifying a gaze direction of at least one eye of the user relative to a portion of the display screen.
