Our mobile phone is a function as well as a medium. In it we deposit a large part of our daily tasks, from the most trivial to vital aspects in our professional life. In it we keep everything, from trivial conversations to sensitive material both from our private and work lives. That is why advances in terminal protection are happening day after day. Not only in the world of Apps with data protection functions, but also in the more precise aspect of access to our terminals.
A few days ago we talked in this blog about the advances in relation to unlocking our mobile using our voice . Well, in recent days there have been new proposals to keep our phones safe and secure from the curious. The unlocking of the mobile has become a science of study and little less than an art. Four-digit codes or movement patterns are no longer useful, the different R&D departments are moving towards all kinds of new proposals.
Of all the options studied and presented, perhaps the most bizarre is the one presented by Amazon . So prone to innovation in his decisions, this technological giant has registered a patent for which he claims to have developed a specific technology so that we can unlock our phone with the ear . Raised as an innovation within the future generation of Fire phones, Amazon could even use earphone unlocking to even control some features of the phone, such as adjusting the volume according to how far the mobile is from our ear.
In this video you can see a demonstration of how this new technology works:
More striking, for fun, is the Intelligent Environment proposal. This company, perhaps aware of new uses in communication, has proposed what they say is perhaps one of the safest ways to protect our phone. His proposal to be able to access the content stored on our mobile is to do so through a sequence of emojis . This formula, which allows 480 more combinations than a 4-digit numeric password, is even considered as an alternative to access issues much more relevant to us, such as a bank account.
This is how it would work:
And now something more normal or, at least, more common for moviegoers: the recognition of the human iris. This is the proposal that comes to us from Fujitsu . In collaboration with the Japanese study NTT DoCoMo they claim to have a technology capable of distinguishing even the irises of two twin brothers. Whoever wants to have this advance should get the latest model of their smartphones, the Arrows NX F-04G , for a price of about 670 euros. Of course, it is only for sale in Japan.
As the trip is somewhat expensive, here is a video where we can see a demonstration of how this scanner works:
The ear, the emojis, the iris, but also the voice or the fingerprint. Systems all of them so that accessing our phone without our permission is, every day, much more complicated.
