Future Apple Watch tapes will identify their users by a skin pattern

Currently, the Apple Watch has a way to identify and authenticate a user while making payments via Apple Pay. However, the problem with this method is that if you remove and wear your watch again, you will have to confirm your identity again. We appreciate these security measures, but they seem a bit uncomfortable.

However, it seems that in the future, Apple might have other ways to identify the user. In a series of patents recently discovered by Patently Apple, a patent appears to indicate that Apple plans to include a biometric sensor in the Apple Watch watch strap to help identify and authenticate a user. according to the cracks in his skin.

According to a description of the patent, he states: "In particular, skin cracks are generally warmer than the surrounding skin and the hair is colder than the surrounding skin. By using an infrared optical sensor as a vital device for the wrist, the hair can be thermally differentiated from the crevices of the skin by the temperature. "

This eliminates not only the need to enter the authentication code, but also allows Apple Watch to gain independence from the iPhone, which Apple launched when it began to support LTE networks in Apple Watch. This is not the first time we hear about Apple's project to create smart belts for Apple Watch, but we still have to wait to see if that will happen.
