On Tuesday night, Samsung's 7th generation Note series new products officially released to the world. The long-rumored iris recognition function finally appeared on GALAXY Note 7. It should be known that similar functions were once released before the release of S5. Compared with the small range upgrade of other function points, the addition of iris recognition has become the biggest highlight of Note 7, and the discussion about whether iris recognition can become the next explosion point in the mobile phone market is one after another.
In the past, fingerprint recognition has leveraged the release of Apple's iPhone 5s, allowing it to quickly enter the public's field of vision and gain widespread popularity in a short period of time. Now even the entry-level products of six or seven hundred yuan have this feature. As Samsung's biggest competitor (and also the Android camp's most appealing) Samsung, after the iris recognition on Note 7, will iris recognition also take the road to popularization like fingerprint recognition?
Iris recognition by Samsung Note 7 and a fire
In fact, Samsung GALAXY Note 7 is not the first mobile phone with iris recognition, and Fuji and Microsoft have already run ahead of Samsung. Although the two of them ran fast enough, the concept of iris recognition was fresh enough, but because the product was not superior in terms of sound volume, the iris recognition did not rise to the pursuit of the mobile phone industry at that time.
This time, the situation is very different. As the most appealing Samsung in the Android camp, Samsung chose to push the iris recognition on the new flagship new GALAXY Note 7. This brings about the topicality and attention. Just as Apple introduced fingerprint recognition and incited the fingerprint identification industry chain, Samsung's introduction of iris recognition may bring new opportunities to this industry chain.
In addition, from the Baidu search index, the content search for "Iris Recognition" reached its peak before and after the release of Samsung Note 7. This also confirms our view from another aspect. Iris recognition is indeed a fire in front of the media and consumers with the release of Samsung Note 7.
Iris recognition on mobile phones can do these
Let's talk about the current iris recognition can play a role in the mobile phone. To unlock the phone like fingerprint recognition, I don't need to say more, this is definitely the most basic role of iris recognition. Of course, as the biometric technology, the most accurate and stable, and the most difficult to forge iris recognition, it is bound to play more roles.
The process of using the mobile phone to apply for a good account and password to log in to the website will be simplified after the iris recognition. In the future, you only need to blink at the mobile phone. After the iris authentication on the mobile phone, you can browse the website. This is much more convenient than manually entering the account and password. However, it should be noted that the current implementation of this feature is limited to the system comes with a browser like Samsung Note 7, if you use a third-party browser that has not been adapted by the iris function, it does not have such a function.
In addition, it can encrypt photos, information, and even applications and office files in the user's mobile phone through secure folder encryption to improve its security encryption level.
Iris recognition on mobile phones can also be combined with mobile payments. At last year's Intel IDF (Intel Information Technology Summit), Intel partnered with EyeStart, Minsheng Bank and Lenovo to launch EyeSmart, a payment-enabled iris phone. After purchasing the product in the online store, the user can first open the iris recognition module. When paying in the shopping cart, only the iris recognition “brushing the eyes†is needed, and the payment can be successfully paid.
Diversified unlocking and encryption methods can make iris recognition have its advantages on mobile phones. At the same time, with the rapid development of mobile payment, iris payment is safer and easier to use than fingerprint payment. It is also expected to become a new payment method.
Want to replace the fingerprint? Basically no play
There is a strong Samsung endorsement, and the discussion about iris recognition has suddenly increased. After the release of Samsung Note 7, there are even some voices on the Internet that iris recognition will become the new favorite of the mobile phone industry and will replace fingerprint recognition in the future.
It is undeniable that iris recognition is much safer than fingerprint recognition. However, taking into account the current status of use, some of its problems and limitations in its use determine that it does not completely replace the fact of fingerprint recognition.
Take Note 7 just released as an example, there will be some minor troubles in the process of inputting iris information. First of all, Note 7 will tell you clearly that you can't record iris information when you wear glasses. For some female users who love beauty, you can't enter iris information. When you enter iris information and use iris recognition, you will also be affected by ambient light, which means that you may be less convenient to use iris recognition when it is darker around or at night.
Also, iris recognition has a problem of effectively recognizing distance. Even if you are using iris recognition in a suitable light environment, the phone should be kept within a certain distance from the user's eyes. The distance between the two is too far or too close to affect the normal recognition of the iris.
Finally, there is a problem with the habit of using. Now that mobile phone fingerprint recognition is so popular, how much time is the user willing to spend to adapt to unlocking with iris recognition? Moreover, it does not have a clear physical button (area) like fingerprint recognition, and the hit rate for iris recognition is obviously not as good as fingerprint recognition.
Overall, although iris recognition has higher security, its ease of use and user habits can be difficult to complete. In my opinion, the iris recognition on the mobile phone seems to be more a good complement to fingerprint recognition. If you want to completely replace fingerprint recognition, it is basically no play.
It still takes time to detonate the mobile phone market
Instead of fingerprints, can iris recognition become the next explosion in the mobile phone industry? Although iris recognition is novel, it still takes time to make a technical precipitation. Of course, it will take time for more mobile phone manufacturers and consumers to accept.
Since the current iris recognition is mainly for military, banking and other security-level application scenarios, it is difficult for a general manufacturer to have a large number of databases that can be independently learned by the iris algorithm, that is, a large number of iris information libraries. At the same time, mobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung, which have the ability to integrate iris recognition into upstream and downstream industry chains, are not many in terms of current quantities.
In addition to international companies, domestic mobile phone manufacturers also play an indispensable role in promoting the popularity of iris technology, just as they do when popularizing fingerprint recognition. If you just use iris recognition to do some simple unlocking, I believe that many mobile phone manufacturers in China can do it. The reason why they did not form a potential is that these mobile phone manufacturers have not been able to find a good application environment and selling points to do the cut-in, and more are still in a verification stage, detonating the mobile phone market and entering large-scale commercial applications. needs time.
However, in the long run, I believe that future smartphones will gradually add support for iris recognition. In such an era of highly homogenized mobile phones, iris recognition, as one of the few bright spot functions, will rely on subsequent technological evolution to achieve leapfrog development.
