Apple Facial Vein Recognition New Patent Authorized! Can Distinguish Twins

Apple's new patent for facial vein recognition has been authorized, allowing it to distinguish between twins

【PhoneAuto News】According to Tianyancha App, on September 12th, Apple’s patent for “vein matching for difficult biometric authentication cases” was granted.

The abstract shows that when the device authenticates the user through facial recognition, this patent can use subcutaneous imaging of the face to evaluate subcutaneous features such as blood vessels and veins. During the authentication process, when the user’s face is identified as a user with less deterministic authorization, this patent can use the evaluation of subcutaneous features to distinguish users with closely related facial features, such as siblings or twins.

In addition, Apple is researching various under-screen Face ID solutions, one of which is described in a patent as follows: electronic devices represented by the iPhone can have multiple non-pixel regions with multiple sensors, and each non-pixel region will remove thin-film transistors and other display components to allow light to pass through and improve the transmittance from the screen to the sensor.

According to the list published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Apple recently obtained a technology patent called “cover layer detection for touch input devices”, which can detect whether an iPhone or iPad screen has a film, and then improve interaction through action compensation.

Apple is a company with a large number of patents. According to statistics in 2021, Apple obtained 530 invention patents from the Chinese Patent Office, ranking 97th in terms of the number of patent authorizations from the Chinese Patent Office. In terms of the number of patents, Apple’s key technical fields are: wireless communication networks, digital information transmission, computer interfaces, broadcasting and telephony, and communication transmission systems.
