When it comes to smartphone security, we might think of a password to unlock graphic, face recognition, there is currently more popular fingerprint identification system, and even more advanced iris scanners. However, Microsoft seems to have other new ideas.
According to Microsoft's latest exposure of the patent, the company filed a gesture-based control of unlocking system. Unlock gesture control, from the name sounds should not be too complicated, but it is how to protect our smart phone?
According to Microsoft's patent filing describes this gesture unlocking system will first monitor the user's finger position and movement trajectory information on the display, and then these "details" to determine now whether the person is operating a mobile phone is the user himself.
However, since it is a gesture to unlock the protection, it is necessary to achieve uniqueness. Microsoft mentioned in the patent, the unlocking system can analyze the user's finger that was between the angle, the length of time a finger touches the screen, the display area and pressure compression, these factors together, it becomes unique for each user features and characteristics of the system whereby we can know whether the current user himself is trying to unlock the device, or or other strangers.
Of course, if this feature can be applied to the smart phone will naturally cool. However, Microsoft hinted in the patent, the technology can be applied not only on mobile devices, can also be applied on a large screen, perhaps Microsoft Kinect is one goal.
Of course, this is just a patent system, but also can not guarantee that Microsoft will eventually be applied to the actual product, but in any case, this is a more interesting idea.
