Huawei patent new patent

Lip unlocking, as the name implies, is to use the action characteristics of human lips to unlock, which belongs to the biometric unlocking method of fingerprint and face recognition. The general way of lip movement recognition is that a person reads a string of words or numbers into the device, with or without sound. The camera will capture the human lip movement characteristics (called "the first lip movement characteristics") and compare them with the pre-stored lip movement characteristics (called "the second lip movement characteristics"). If the matching degree reaches a certain level, the unlocking is successful.

In fact, biometrics can be realized by using the uniqueness of biological characteristics, that is, everyone's biological characteristics are unique. And this uniqueness determines the immutability of biological characteristics. For example, if the digital password of the mobile phone is leaked, the user can modify the password to ensure security; If the face information is leaked, it cannot be modified. This means that once the biometric is revealed, the risk may be permanent.

It is also biometric, but the lip unlocking is "modifiable". As can be seen from the description, this is actually a combination of biology and password. Because the unlocking process requires people to read a string of characters or numbers, the actual unlocking includes two parts, one is the characteristics of people's lips, and the other is the read content. The former is biometric and the latter is password, so the unlocking method can be modified.

Specifically, in the unlocking mode of combining biology and password, the unlocking principle can be divided into two types-lip feature priority and password feature priority. For example, the preset storage lip feature is "People read111with or without voice". In the lip feature priority mode, the current and previously stored lip features will be saved. If the matching degree is between 50% and 80%, verify whether the password is correct, that is, whether the four numbers "111"have been read. If it is correct, the unlocking is successful; If there is an error, the unlocking fails.

Although the patent of lip unlocking disclosed by Huawei does solve the inherent "unmodifiable" problem of biometrics, its convenience is obviously not as good as that of face recognition. After all, in order to unlock it, users need to hold up their mobile phones and say a series of words to the camera, which may be awkward whether reading aloud or lip-synching.

Patent application is a legal system to protect the intellectual property rights of inventions and creations under the conditions of market economy. All inventions and creations with patent conditions should apply for patents as soon as possible, get legal protection from the state, and determine the ownership relationship of inventions and creations through legal procedures, so as to effectively protect the achievements of inventions and creations, monopolize the market in exchange for the greatest benefits, and also strive for the initiative of market competition to ensure the safety of their own production and sales. In addition to the above functions, taking a certain number of patents as an important indicator in the evaluation of enterprise listing and making full use of various functions of patents is conducive to the production and operation of enterprises.
