Later to lock the device simply by using face detection software that records 22 points in the face.
Mobile security system seems to become more robust and use the personal side as the medium. This indicates that the era of passwords and PINs is getting less safe.
It is the scientists at Manchester University to develop software that will be used in mobile phones by using the user's face. Actually, this device has been adopted in notebooks, webcams, and Xbox.
The workings of this software is to utilize the phone camera (especially the front camera) which will capture the face of the phone owners. Then there are 22 points in the key face for the next phone verification was active as usual.
In this way, it is suspected to be more accurate and certainly a lot safer because basically everyone has the face of significant differences, although the twins.
So what's the difference with face detection that had been used?
"Mobile face tracker (common name of an existing software, Red) only determine the point on the face are estimates only to later be made scale," said Dr. Phil Tresadern, this software development team leader.
Beneficiaries can even be used not only to open the menu, but also access to e-mail, social networks, and most important online banking.
"The process is very fast and I do not see anything else that would be a rival, especially in the use of cell phones," said Tresadern again.
The pilot project will be the first time on the Nokia N900 and will be part of the project Mobile Biometrics
