New patent: facial recognition to identify different users



It has been discovered a new patent filed by Apple in June 2010, which could lead to facial recognition and IOS devices through it, to detect different users in a single device, thus configuring various settings.

Thus, taking as an example a family iPad would allow different users each have their applications differently ordered and any other settings on the iPad.

However, not everything that glitters is gold, as it has been tested on other mobile operating systems, facial recognition as a method to recognize a user has to improve further, as it is easily fooled by a photograph of any of the registered users of the device.
