Apple wins two new patents covering health tracking and facial recognition unlocking

[Abstract]AirPods headsets track deep health data and use the camera for face recognition to automatically unlock smart phones. Apple's two new patents seem to be quite attractive.

Tencent Digital (Guti) Apple has always been keen to apply for a variety of patents, and we are also very concerned about Apple's various patents, and recently Apple has made a debut patent passed the USPTO's approval.

First of all, the first patent is about the field of sports health tracking. Although Apple now has an Apple Watch smart watch for sports tracking, Apple seems to be integrating the same features into AirPods headphones in the future.

According to the patent description, this patent is called "bio-sensing headphone" and describes a wireless headset integrated with at least one biosensor. From the patented picture, this device is similar to a stethoscope and has a built-in microphone array. , battery, distance and direction sensors.

On the sensor side, this kind of headset can be very rich in content, including accelerometers, infrared distance sensors, photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, oxygen consumption sensors, electrodermal reaction sensors, electrocardiogram sensors, electrical impedance ECG sensors, and temperature sensors. Various sensors can work together to accomplish any number of tasks.

Another patent, entitled "Locking and Unlocking Devices Using Face Recognition," is an optimized version of the 2016 facial recognition patent. The core of Apple's facial recognition patent is the iPhone's use of a front camera to detect and identify the user's face. If the verification passes through the device, it will be automatically unlocked. The patent also mentions the use of infrared sensors to detect motion, as well as tilt sensors.

Although many manufacturers have developed facial recognition technology to unlock the device, Apple's facial recognition is completely automatic. The patent mentions that although many devices have a lock mode, it is difficult for a user to unlock the device when the user forgets the password. The solution proposed by Apple is to automatically unlock the facial recognition device. This mechanism can solve the cumbersome problem of manually locking and unlocking the device, and the security is also guaranteed.

Apple's patented solution will always detect the existence of the user's face. When the user's face is present, the iOS device will remain unlocked. When the user's face disappears, the iOS device automatically locks. When the user's face reappears, the iOS device will automatically unlock again.

In addition, the user can also be set to automatically unlock the device when the device is moved. When the device's sensor detects motion, the camera captures the image and then automatically determines if the device has been moved. When the device detects the user's face, the system is automatically unlocked. In general, Apple's automatic locking and unlocking mechanism does not require user input and operations, that is, the use of facial recognition instead of the password mechanism.
