But it appears to be that is not the only option Apple is focusing on. A new patent app released by the The U.S. Trademark Office and Patent (USPTO) on yesterday, unveils that Apple is likewise working on new solution, which includes the fingerprint sensor in the screen display.
The patent describes a technology in which a sensor is used to trace a person’s finger and fingerprint and determine, based on that, if they have proper credentials. Apple’s patent application doesn’t go as far as including the security features that might come with it on the software side, but it’s clear what the technology is designed to do. [..]
[..] Apple’s technology is slightly different than those embodiments. Rather than use an attached hardware sensor, like most PCs do, Apple’s patent application allows users to place their fingers on a touch display. The company’s technology then analyzes the finger on a pixel-by-pixel basis to determine if it’s a match with the owner’s.
Next iPhone 5S Will Come With A Fingerprint Sensor
So it is really possible that in near future, we’ll be capable to unlock our own idevice by just swiping on screen, and then fingerprint sensor will do its special in the background to make sure we do not have to type the security passcode.
Remarkably, the iOS 7 re-designed Lock screen appears to be a step in this direction as it enables you to unlock your device by just swiping just about anywhere on screen rather swiping on slide button ‘slide to unlock‘.
We have been a little anxious of the fingerprint sensors in the new iOS devices, based on our own experience with these kinds of sensors in the laptops, so we will hope that the Apple will appears with such solution that also works, and does not wind up by frustrating us.
