Device configuration with multiple profiles for a single user using user-biometrics from afar

An electronic device receives data, which is detected by a sensor of a remote control device associated with at least one biometrics, which is operable to transmit one or more instructions to the electronic device. A profile of a user associated with the data is determined from a number of profiles of the user based on the data. The electronic device is then configured in one or more types according to the determined user profile. A user may have any number of different profiles for the electronic apparatus, each being associated with a different biometric, or combination of biometrics. In this way, a user can easily access different experiences with the same device, all of which can be completely personalized in a different way and / or for a different purpose.
