With fingerprint scanners having entered smartphones for a long time, Fujitsu went one step further, announcing that it has developed an eye iris recognition system that has incorporated a smartphone prototype.
Just by looking at the smartphone screen, the user's iris is scanned and the phone unlocks.
As the company claims, this system has a clear advantage over code or fingerprint, as it is difficult to forge and convenient to use. The screen is unlocked with the look, which means that the user's hands are free in every case.
Beyond its use for the better safety στα smartphones, η ταυτοποίηση ίριδας θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί επίσης και για την είσοδο σε διαδικτυακές υπηρεσίες (login) χωρίς να απαιτείται εισαγωγή ID ή κωδικού, επιτρέποντας ευκολότερη και ασφαλέστερη πρόσβαση.
Η Fujitsu intends to explore its application possibilities technology of this in a wide range of fields, including security systems.
In essence, what the company did was to shrink and improve the current iris recognition technology (which stops changing after the age of two, and is unique to every human) so it can be integrated into a smartphone.
Το σύστημα «διαβάζει» το μάτι με υπέρυθρο LED light, τραβώντας μια photo to save its shape, which is then used for comparison/confirmation.
The two main parts of the system are a special, high-performance LED, and a special infrared camera, combined with technologies control camera and biometric identification that have been developed for years.
As far as its range is concerned, the distance required is the standard that a user holds when using his cellphone - that is, it is not required to approach the eye at 10 centimeters. It is noted that on the basis of tests that have been carried out, the infrared LED light is harmless to the eyes.
