It's been a long time since Apple introduced new security solutions for its iPhones, but now it seems that… Touch ID and Face ID A new and innovative method can also be added: unlocking based on the user's pulse.
A recently discovered patent suggests that Apple is working on technology that could identify a user's unique heart rate.. The idea is that each person has a unique heartbeat that can be used to unlock an iPhone. At first, this technology may appear on the Apple Watch, but in the future it may be included in iPhones.
Reading an electrocardiogram (ECG) requires two points of contact, which the Apple Watch already provides with sensors on the back and a Digital Crown. A new Apple patent describes a next-generation solution that changes the design of the iPhone so that the device is suitable for heartbeat-based authentication. The patent also describes another potential use: an ECG that can also detect the user’s mood.
For example, during a fitness workout, the music played adapts to the user's mood and heart rate. At the moment, this is just a patent, but it shows an interesting direction, especially considering that there was talk of an authentication system based on the arrangement of veins in the palm of the hand before, which ultimately did not come to fruition.
