Apple recently applied for a new patent. Users can take selfies with the camera of their mobile phones. The mobile phone will analyze the face data and compare it with the user photos and data stored in the mobile phone. If it is correct, the user authentication is completed and the mobile phone can be unlocked. This sounds slightly different from the brush face recognition we heard before. Generally, infrared devices scan people's facial features to determine whether they unlock it themselves, while Apple relies on data analysis to determine whether it is me or not according to the photos stored in the mobile phone. Apple also added that in addition to unlocking mobile phones, face recognition technology can also be used to verify the identity of users. In addition to the mobile phone holder, you can also verify the true identity of family and friends (people who may use this mobile phone).
But at present, the security of face recognition technology really needs to be improved. If you meet twins or people who look alike, you can't identify them accurately. In addition, Apple's patent relies on mobile phone data analysis, which means that it should not need a professional camera, so the security hole seems to be even bigger.
