Nowadays, we have at our disposal a wide range of possibilities to authenticate ourselves on our smartphones. Fingerprint readers, iris readers, or facial recognition are the most notorious methods they have gained over the last few years. You have all of these biometric authentication methods at your fingertips.
However, Samsung is one of the companies with a Research and Development department in constant activity. There are several patents that the South Korean company submits to the competent authorities. The result? Safeguard ideas that your engineers and administrators consider worthwhile for possible application in future contexts. Some do, some do not, for a variety of reasons.
This time, the latest patent submitted by Samsung wants to further revolutionize the biometric authentication segment. In fact, the South Korean company wants to use a user's bloodstream for its own authentication. This patent was submitted in the USA in July 2016.
As it is submitted, this new technology can work on both smartphones and smartwatches. Two examples of devices most commonly used in our day-to-day lives. In fact, they would be equipped with sensors capable of collecting data from different points in our blood flow.
According to this patent, this is possible since the blood pressure will hardly be identical in two people. Like the iris or our fingerprint, our blood can also differentiate us from another human being.
As with heart rate readers, this type of sensor could also be easily incorporated into one of these devices. The focal point would be on the side of software, how it would use the data collected to verify the identity of an individual.
Bloodstream: Is this the next bet of Samsung in the field of biometric authentication?
Of course, this type of technology could be used for much more than unlocking our smartphone. In the case of smartwatches, increasingly prepared for automatic payments, this type of authentication would not require any extra effort from the user. By placing a sensor of this sort on the back of the gadget, it would suffice to trigger its operation to quickly obtain a match.The blood flow collected would have to be used to create a kind of pattern. This pattern would have to find a positive match for access to a particular function for a particular individual.
Will we ever see this technology be used in our daily lives? Only the future will tell. What this patent states is that Samsung is in the lead for its implementation in the market, but it is not obliged to do so.
Wow.. Technology is really really growing everyday, what a nice planning by Samsung and i wish them good luck cause i am expecting them to produce and launch it soon.
ReplyDeleteIt will be very grateful from all of us if they truly produces it in the near future! I truly trust them sha #Samsung #bloodstream_biometric
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for the info.
This will definitely be the most secure way by God grace if they have launched the device!! Willing to see it soon... I like the way Samsung is really upgrading their Technology daily! Thanks for the info.
