In fact, with the popularity of full screen, the debate between facial recognition and fingerprint recognition has never stopped. Before, it was said that the fingerprint scanner technology was shattered, or exaggerated, confusing. Because even iPhoneX has chosen the route of face recognition (Face ID) instead of fingerprints.
It is reported that Samsung has basically solved all the big problems, including uneven screen brightness in the sensor area. There have been rumors before that this function seems to appear on Galaxy S8, but it has not been realized in the end. Now it seems that this plan is still a little far away.
The application of this patent may imply that Samsung may still try to realize pressure sensing in the fingerprint sensor, which will effectively combine the display screen to be watched with the existing pressure-sensitive home button on the screen. In theory, it can develop more functions of the sensor, but in practical application, Samsung is likely to lock it to a few of its own choice.
However, in iPhone X, Apple introduced the face recognition function. It is reported that once face recognition is rapidly popularized and accepted by consumers, future products will no longer be equipped with fingerprint recognition.
It is reported that the three-dimensional face recognition function of iPhone X is realized by four components. These sensors can create a three-dimensional face model and compare it with the stored model. Apple's competitors, Qualcomm and Samsung, have not given up fingerprint identification technology. Qualcomm showed his technical scheme. Qualcomm once said that off-screen fingerprint identification may become the standard configuration of flagship mobile phones in 20 18.
