Apple has patented his own facial recognition technology

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office USPTO has received from Apple's application for registration of a patent that describes a new face recognition technology. As planned by Apple Empire, it must be part of mobile devices and to simplify the process of unlocking. The full name of the new development of Apple reads: Electronic Device Operation Adjustment Based On Face Detection.

This long string of English words translated into Russian as "an electronic device control technology through facial recognition." Of course, in the process will be used forward-facing camera with high resolution, which Apple will integrate all their portable gadgets, including media players and iPod Touch. Run-in the new technology will take place on smart devices based on mobile operating system, Apple iOS, and if it is a good zarekomenduet and receive positive feedback, we will be able to move it to the MacBook laptops and desktop computers iMac.

The system, developed by Apple, uses the front camera for imaging the user's face and its subsequent recognition. If successful, the procedure of the tablet, phone or player from Apple automatically unlocks. If, however, there are several devayse profiles, new technology identifies a particular user and run it to the saved settings. Not the fact that Apple will receive a patent, otherwise it would mean the beginning of a new war between the major companies. MobileDevice recalls that face recognition already exists and is supported by the operating system, Google Android, starting with version 4.0, presented at the end of last year.
