Specification

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of electronic devices, particularly to electronic device with multi-locking facilities. More particularly, the present invention relates image and camera based electronic device and a method of locking and unlocking the electronic device with multi-locking facilities.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many electronic devices have a lock mode. The lock mode may be used to prevent inadvertent operation of a touch screen display, e.g., while the device is in a user's pocket or purse or when another object is placed against the device. The lock mode may also be used to prevent an unauthorized person from using the device. Generally, the device is programmed to enter the lock mode when a user presses a specific button or a series of buttons or when it has been idle for a certain period of time. When a user desires to use a device that is locked, the user will typically be required to drag a slide bar, press a specific button or a series of buttons (e.g., to enter a pattern, pin, password, fingerprint, gesture) to unlock the device. However, a user may find these steps inconvenient and time consuming. For example, a user may be ... reading a document using the device wheri the device detects that it has been idlevfor . : .... a certain period of time.
Also, there is a high risk of probability that a key a user using to unlock a device can be observed by other persons and the device can be misused.
IN201841021899 discloses an electronic device with multi-locking method, wherein the current lock of said electronic device is changed to another lock which is predetermined by the user either serially or randomly as per the user's preference.

This improves the security of the electronic device by increasing the number of locks and locking types.
An electronic device with multi-type multi-locking method as mentioned in the prior art IN20I84102I899 have an improvement in security and has advantages over the other methods and prior arts. But, there is still a probability that an observed key can be used to unlock the device in future unless the user changes the passwords.
US9477829 discloses a locked mobile device, which is configured to capture an initial image using its camera, capture a new image in response to detecting movement of the device, determine that the device moved to a use position, capture a subsequent image in response to determining that the device moved to a use position, analyze the subsequent image to detect a user's face, and unlock the device in response to detecting the user's face.
Accordingly, there exists a need for an electronic device with image and eye retina based multi-locking facilities.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
One or more of the problems of the conventional prior art may be overcome by various embodiments of the system of the present invention.
It is the primary object of the present invention to provide an electronic device image and camera based multi-locking facilities.
