The new smartwatches Samsung they will be able to do anything, even read ours biometric data with extreme precision and our veins? Apparently, yes. And so after fingerprints, facial features, voice and iris, in the future wearable electronic devices such as smartwatches could recognize the owner by his veins.
The idea is part of a Samsung patent published by the US patent and trademark office. In the project we see the design of a smartwatch capable of authenticating the user by looking at the "map"The vene which are located on the back of the hand. The same thing already happens with the fingers, the face or the eye: the watch acquires the image of its user's veins using infrared, and recognizes it via the recorded data.
The system can also function as an anti-theft device and can yield faster all actions that require entering an alphanumeric code to authenticate the user, such as turning on the device and unlocking it, purchasing an app, and so on.
However, this is not an absolute novelty: Fujitsu, for example, has already made notebooks with PalmSecure biometric scanner that identifies the user simply by reading the palm of the hand. A infrared sensor recognizes veins and allows access to the operating system. The system could be used in the future, even by Samsung, for automatic mobile payments.
