Re-patented Apple to Redefine Remote Control

On Thursday, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office published a new patent application entitled "Multi-user Device Configuration Based on Remote User Biometrics." This new technology is to personalize your remote control. Home, men, women and children can create personal information on televisions, set-top boxes or other devices by entering biometric information (such as fingerprints) on the remote control.

Why is it necessary to spend so much energy on carrying a fingerprint or retina sensor on a small remote control? According to Apple’s patent, this concept device can provide a “personalized experience” without affecting others. We can make up for how Apple can achieve this "personalized experience."

First of all, this new technology will save you the trouble of creating personal data for your device. Now you can easily personalize your settings whether you are young or old, by fingerprinting or scanning the retina. In addition, parents can also limit what children watch.

Although Apple has only cited TV as an example, you can actually use this new remote controller to control all other smart devices. The specific application scenario is roughly as follows:

First, couples at home would share some devices, such as televisions, computers, or game consoles, while the two had different preferences in terms of volume, screen layout, screen saver, and brightness contrast. Now through this technology, the two can call out their own settings at any time through fingerprint or retina recognition.

Second, based on different biometric results, your TV, player, or other electronic device can recommend TV programs, movies, music, or games that match your personal preferences.

Thirdly, isn't it time to buy a new TV and set it up again? It's so much trouble, as long as you previously set up on another TV via fingerprints or retina recognition, and scan again on the new TV. The settings and preferences will be perfectly synchronized.

Some existing devices already provide personal data creation capabilities and match identification in some ways. For example, Microsoft's Xbox Kinect can be identified by human scans. However, if this idea of ​​Apple can come true, its advantages in popularity, popularity and speed of recognition will be unmatched.
