65438+ 10/4 news, according to Appleinsider news, Apple has obtained a new patent: white use? Apple glasses? It can automatically unlock the user's iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, Mac and other devices. Is the user wearing it? Apple glasses? When picking up the iPhone, users can use it directly without even looking at the phone, instead of entering the password or waiting for the Face ID.
"Authentication Device Assisted User Authentication" was originally applied on 20 18, and now it is a newly approved patent, which involves short-distance authentication, that is, users do not need to unlock their iPhone, iPad, Mac or other devices repeatedly through one-time authentication of "Apple Glass". Apple said in the patent that many electronic devices restrict access to various functions based on user authentication. When multiple devices are used at the same time, unlocking each device program alone will delay the user's access and reduce the quality of user experience.
Apple's proposed solution includes an authentication device that users can wear as headphones. Nearby devices can be iPhone, iPad Pro, Mac, etc. The authentication device detects the proximity device, judges the user's intention to approach the proximity device when the proximity device is locked, and issues authentication data. Based on the authentication data, the short-distance device recognizes the user as an authenticated user and enters the unlocked state from the locked state, so that the user can access various functions on the device that restrict access.
