IKB: Maybe the only thing it doesn't do is type the user's texts for them: the reason for the "smart" keyboard developed by researchers, which is self-cleaning, self-powered and can "recognize" the user by the way they type.
According to a PhysOrg post, the device, which was presented to ACS Nano, could prevent unauthorized users from gaining direct access to computers.
Professor Zhong Lin Wang (Georgia Tech) and his colleagues point out that password protection is probably the most common way someone can control who has access to their computer. However, as shown by the cases of cyber attacks and hacking which now regularly see the light of day, the codes themselves are now vulnerable, so the goal is to find a safes, economical and user-friendly way to protect one's computer.
Researchers have developed a "smart" keyboard that can "sense" typing patterns, including keystrokes and speed, distinguishing one user from another. Even if someone knows him code, cannot access the computer as it types differently. Also, the keyboard collects the energy resulting from typing to power itself, or some other small device. At the same time, its special coating removes dust and dirt in general.
As stated in the research abstract, the "smart keyboard" (IKB - Intelligent Keyboard) can potentially be used not only in energy self-powered electronic devices and in the field of cybersecurity and device security, but also in areas such as Artificial Intelligence.
