Yess! You heard right! California-based Apple, is reportedly<\/a> exploring a new method for unlocking its devices, leveraging users’ unique heartbeats, in a groundbreaking development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Using<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How Did This Happen?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent media report noted that the tech giant has filed and been granted a patent for a technology that could allow users to unlock their iPhones simply by holding them, utilizing their cardiovascular signatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no doubt that this technology would be awfully hard to beat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides this the new Apple patent could lead to an eventual iOS update allowing users to rely on their heartbeat to unlock an iPhone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, this is not the first time as this technology already exists within the Apple Watch, which monitors heart rhythm through an electrocardiogram (ECG) app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, the outlet noted, heart patterns are already being used to open devices in some cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, now it would become pretty handy as instead of typing in a Mac password, an Apple Watch user can take a quick and easy ECG to open up their laptop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only that, they will also receive authentication to open other devices, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the smooth process, the watch needs to be fully fastened to the top and bottom of a person\u2019s wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By simply opening up the ECG app , the user’s job will get  done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note here that this new patent is for an iPhone that can read a person\u2019s heart rate, this is basically from the user normally handling the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Only Authentication, But Much More<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Imagine, for this the iPhone\u2019s exterior would turn into a heart rate reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, the patent gets into how an ECG could be used to determine the \u201cmood\u201d of a user, according to the outlet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could be done in one way by examining a person\u2019s heart rate to suggest a song of equal beats per minute. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving ahead, this technology could be used to speed up or slow down music as the user works out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basically, this patent outlines a method where devices like the Apple Watch could use its ECG (electrocardiogram) feature to identify and authenticate users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This simply means that instead of relying solely on Face ID or a passcode, now the user’s heart’s unique patterns can be used to gain access to their devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presently, users need to unlock their Apple Watch with a passcode before it can be used to unlock a Mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is noteworthy here that the continuous authentication would remain active as long as the watch is worn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This would also streamline the user\u2019s experience across multiple devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The patent from  Apple also hints at a new iPhone design which will be equipped with heart-measuring sensors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, these sensors would do much more by not only allowing users to unlock their phones by casually holding them but also potentially gauge the user’s mood through their heart rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the implementation, this technology is still in the patent stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So,  it is uncertain whether Apple has begun testing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, we can not deny the possibility that such a feature coming to market could represent a significant shift in biometric authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case Apple decides to move forward with this innovative approach, it would take a few years before it becomes available to consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
