He probably won't like it. Apple filed a patent for a technology which will prevent you from taking photos or videos with your iPhone or iPad at concerts, museums, or anywhere else it may be prohibited.
The patent was filed Tuesday at the United States Patents and Trademark Office and you can see the technical details from here.
Apple's patent describes an iPhone or iPad camera that can receive coded infrared signals from transmitters located in public places that will temporarily disable the mode της κάμερας της συσκευής, για την αποτροπή φωτογραφήσεων ή την εγγραφή βίντεο για όσο χρονικό διάστημα εκπέμπεται το σήμα.
Η τεχνολογία που κατοχυρώθηκε με δίπλωμα ευρεσιτεχνίας από την Apple έχει σαν τίτλο 'System and methods for receiving infrared data with camera designed to detect images based on visible light' and was first filed in September 2014.
With this technology, the company wants to help singers, actors and artists to prevent illegal photography and free streaming on the internet.
The same technology could, however, be used by the police to restrict video filming with smartphone acts of barbarism or protests, or it could even help any government stop photos and videos in some areas.
It is not difficult to imagine that a government like North Korea's or its Chinaς, μπορεί να χρησιμοποιήσει την τεχνολογία...
But let's say you do not have to worry too much as companies such as Apple and Google are patenting all the time, but not all the ideas are being marketed.
