Apple Receives Patent For Unique Security Camera Apple has received a patent for a unique security camera. The speciality of this camera is that it can identify people not only based on their faces but also on their physical characteristics (such as chest, clothing, etc.). This patent was granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This security camera system is not limited to facial recognition but can also identify people based on physical characteristics such as clothing or body parts.
Even if the camera cannot see a person’s face, it can still identify them from their ‘body print.’ The camera system temporarily stores images of people who regularly visit the home and analyzes their physical characteristics using a deep learning model.
If the system detects a person, it sends a notification to the user inside the home. Users can view the camera’s live feed on an iPhone, iPad or Apple TV. This patent from Apple is a major leap in the smart home field. This technology, which can recognize faces and body prints, is said to give a new direction to smart home security.
