| A look of capacitive scanner |
Heading away from the used away techniques of security and moving a step ahead in the password system, developers are looking into the world of bio metrics making them available ranging from the photocopiers to school buses and many more.Now a team of Yahoo researchers may end up coming with extending the touchscreen to a bio metric recognition system i.e. Turning Capacitive Touch Screen To A Bio metric scanner.
But it seems out to be quite tough as our fingerprint is not merely as it simply looks but includes the ridges and the depressions that make up for the same and for identifying the same, need is of a high-resolution scanner that is hardly found in any of the capacitive touchscreens.Finding out an alternative the researchers have extended the principle of finger-printing to the other body parts or better to say much bigger body parts,which are somewhat easier to get identify and have a greater and defined topology.
That simply means pressing our ears OR our knuckles on the screen.The capacitive sensors built in the screen are designed to figure out the relevant body part, make sure that it's your ear pressed up against the screen, and finally unlock the call.The team further speaks about it study of 12 participants and reaching the accuracy up till 99.52 %.
The important thing is how safe and secure can it be considered.'Body print' will have to be tested at a wider range and to figured out as 100 % safe as 3 out of the 100 person may posses the same designed knuckles making them to breach the security.But if everything goes well and certain improvements are done, body print could be a cheaper and an effective way to secure one's devices.
