Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for controlling access and presence information using ear biometrics. SOLUTION: A method and apparatus control the operations of an audio device by obtaining by the audio device biometric information about an ear of a user; identifying the user by processing the biometric information; and controlling the operation of the audio device in response to the identification of the user. Also, a method and apparatus control the operations of an external database by receiving biometric information about the ear of a user from an audio device; identifying the user by processing the biometric information; and transmitting a control message to another system.
