New software on iPhone to detect thieves
Apple's iPhone just got cooler. The iPhone is being loaded with a new software that is capable of detecting the stealing of handset by comparing heartbeats. The software in question is in developing stage.
The software will gauge the "heart signature of the owner" and compare with the user of the handset. This will make the software to tell if the user was bona fide or not. Additional add-ons will include face and voice recognition.
The algorithm behind this will be that the software will hear the voices and compare them with records of the owner talking.
In case of pictures, the in-built camera will be able to detect unauthorized users. When the owner is not recognized by the phone, it will automatically shut down and sensitive information such as address books, email, passwords and text messages will be deleted.
However one can choose to switch off the service if the phone is being lent to a known person.
