Recently, Samsung has come up with a new method of securing your smartphones by using blood flow patterns. Check it out for more information!
Samsung’s latest technology identifies users by using their Blood Flow Patterns
After bringing fingerprint scanner and iris scanner to smartphones, Samsung is going to bring one more security system using blood flow patterns. Previously, Samsung has already brought a heart rate sensor on their Galaxy S and Note series. According to the patent of Samsung, it is titled “Real-Time Authentication Based on Blood Flow Parameters”. The patent describes a method to identify users by blood flow patterns in the finger or in the wrist.
This means of security might be more reliable and safe to protect your smartphones from hackers. Besides, the patent also displays that both smartphones and smartwatches are using this technology. The smartphones house this sensor on the back, where we mostly find the fingerprint scanner. This blood sensor records the blood flow data to generate a waveform pattern for the authentication.
However, this new software has to take into account the change in the blood pressures due to user’s physical and mental status. It would be fascinating to see how Samsung can tackle this blood flow variability. We expect that Samsung might also be working on laptops to apply this innovative security system for authentication.
When will this security system be shipped with gadgets?
The availability of this new technology on devices is still unclear now. There is some information that Samsung Galaxy S9 might come with this technology as well as its latest confirmed “Intelligent Scanner”. At the moment, the most innovative system is belonging to Apple FaceID of iPhone X. Can Samsung beat Apple with their new advanced development with unlocking features?
