In an embodiment, the aforementioned interactions between the components shown in
FIG. 2 may be carried out on a continuous basis, such as on an intermittent or periodic basis. For example, while computing device
100 is in the locked state, biometric matching logic
136 may periodically or intermittently obtain new biometric data from biometric sensor(s)
114 and generate new biometric matching determination(s) based on the new biometric data. Based on the new biometric matching determinations, measure of confidence generation logic
134 may generate a new measure of confidence and provide it to lock screen management logic
142. Based on the new measure of confidence, lock screen management logic
142 may selectively determine whether to maintain, increase or reduce the amount or types of personal information to display to the lock screen and/or the amount or types of functionality to render accessible via the lock screen. For example, if the measure of confidence increases over time, lock screen management logic
142 may increase the amount or types of personal information presented to the lock screen; however, if the measure of confidence decreases over time, lock screen management logic
142 may reduce the amount or types of personal information presented to the lock screen. As another example, if the measure of confidence increases over time, lock screen management logic
142 increase the amount or types of functionality rendered accessible via the lock screen; however, if the measure of confidence decreases over time, lock screen management logic
142 may reduce the amount or types of functionality rendered accessible via the lock screen.
