Bodyprint, another way to identify the user with biometric information. Security forces, most people now protect access to their phones. Of course, there is the traditional security code, the combinations of points or proximity of a connected object.
To all this is added the fingerprint scanners, which are installed on some high end smartphones recent, including those from Apple and Samsung.
Researchers at Yahoo Labs, meanwhile, have devised another type of biometric authentication that uses the touch screen of the smartphone to recognize the user.
How it works? Since the screen of a smartphone is not as sensitive as the fingerprint scanner of the iPhone 6 (for example), it will scan larger areas of the body.
In the video below, the phone uses the example of an ear impression (which is a biometric information) to identify the owner of the mobile when answering a call.
For now, the development of this new technology is still in its infancy. It was tested on 12 subjects and according to reports, the touch screen was accurate enough to identify people with a success rate of 99.98%.
If this prove sufficiently reliable technology, identification with the imprint of the ears on the touch screen would be an example of use. Indeed, this new form of biometric identification called "Bodyprint" can also identify the fist, palm, fingers or knuckles. Interesting is not it?
