[Wall View] It is too early for the iris recognition to detonate the mobile phone market.

Tencent Digital (Ma Yuhui) This Tuesday, the new 7th generation Note Series was officially released worldwide. The long-rumored iris recognition function finally appeared on the GALAXY Note 7. It should be noted that similar functions were reported before the release of S5. Compared with the small-scale 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 in the mobile phone market is also one after another.

In the past, fingerprint recognition had leveraged on the release of the Apple iPhone 5s, allowing it to quickly enter the public eye and gain widespread popularity in a short period of time. Now even six or seven hundred yuan entry-level products have this function. Samsung, which is Apple's biggest competitor (and is also the most appealing of the Android camp), after pushing iris recognition on Note 7, will iris recognition be the same as fingerprint recognition to take the road to popularity?

Iris recognition by Samsung Note 7 and a fire

In fact, Samsung GALAXY Note 7 is not the first mobile phone equipped with iris recognition. Fuji and Microsoft have already run ahead of Samsung. Although both of them run fast enough and the concept of iris recognition is still fresh enough, due to the fact that their products are not dominant in terms of sound volume, eventually iris recognition did not set off a hot pursuit in the mobile phone industry at that time.

This time, the situation is very different, as the most appealing Samsung in the Android camp, choose to push the iris recognition on the new flagship new product GALAXY Note 7, which brings the topicality and attention to the heat of the natural. Just as Apple introduced fingerprint identification to instigate the fingerprint identification industry chain, the iris recognition introduced by Samsung may bring new opportunities to this industry chain.

In addition, from Baidu's search index, content search on "Iris recognition" reached its peak before and after Samsung's Note 7. This also confirms our point of view from another side, iris recognition is really relying on the release of Samsung Note 7 to let themselves in the media, consumers in front of another fire.

Iris recognition on the phone can do these

Let's talk about the current iris recognition can play a role in mobile phones. To unlock the phone like fingerprint recognition, I do not need to say, this is certainly the most basic role of iris recognition. Of course, as the most accurate biometric technology, the best stability, and the most difficult forgery of iris recognition, with its functional characteristics will certainly play a more important role.

The process of logging in to the website through the use of a good account number and password for mobile phones 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 entering the account number and password manually. However, it should be noted that the current implementation of this feature is limited to systems such as the Samsung Note 7 that come with a browser. If you use a third-party browser that is not adapted to the iris function, it does not have such a feature.

In addition, it can also encrypt photos, information, and even applications and office files in the user's mobile phone through the secure folder encryption to increase its security encryption level.

Iris recognition on mobile phones can also be combined with mobile payments. In last year's Intel IDF (Intel Information Technology Summit), Intel cooperated with EyeStart, Minsheng Bank and Lenovo to launch EyeSmart, an iris phone with payment function. After the user purchases the product in the online shopping mall, the iris recognition module can be opened first. When the payment is made in the shopping cart, only the iris recognition “sweeping the eyes” is needed, and the money can be successfully paid.

Diversified unlocking and encryption methods can allow iris recognition to play its due advantages on mobile phones. At the same time, with the rapid development of mobile payments, iris payment that is more secure and easy to use than fingerprint payment is expected to become a new payment method.

Want to replace fingerprints? The basic game

There was a strong Samsung who endorsed the discussion on iris recognition. After Samsung's Note 7 was released, there were even some voices on the Internet saying that iris recognition will become the new darling of the mobile phone industry and will replace fingerprint recognition in the future.

It cannot be denied that iris recognition is much more secure than fingerprinting. However, judging from the current status quo, some of its problems and limitations in its use have determined that it does not completely replace the fact of fingerprinting.

Take Note 7 just released, for example, there will be some minor troubles in the iris information entry process. First, Note 7 will tell you clearly that when you wear glasses, you cannot enter iris information; for example, some beautiful female users can't enter iris information when they wear a beautiful pupil. When recording iris information and using iris recognition, it will also be affected by ambient light, which means that you may be less convenient to use iris recognition when you are in a dark place or at night.

There is also the problem that iris recognition also has an effective recognition distance. Even if you are using an iris recognition in a suitable light environment, the mobile phone must be kept within a certain distance from the user's eyes. The distance between the two is too far or too close to affect normal iris recognition.

Finally, there is a question of usage habits. With the popularity of fingerprint recognition on mobile phones, how much time does it take for users to adapt to unlocking with iris recognition? Moreover, it does not have a clear physical key (region) like fingerprint recognition, and the hit rate for iris recognition across the air is obviously not as good as fingerprint recognition.

Overall, although iris recognition has a higher level of security, its ease of use and the user's usage habits can be a difficult place to fill. In my opinion, the recognition of irises on mobile phones seems to be more like a good complement to fingerprint recognition. If you want to completely replace fingerprint recognition, it's basically not a game.

It still takes time to detonate the mobile phone market

In lieu of fingerprints, can iris recognition become the next debacle in the mobile phone industry? Although iris recognition is novel, it still takes time for technical precipitation. Of course, it also takes time for more mobile phone manufacturers and consumers to accept.

Since the current iris recognition is mainly applied to military and bank security applications with higher security levels, it is very difficult for the average vendor to have a large number of databases for autonomous learning of the iris algorithm, that is, a large number of iris information databases. At the same time, the number of mobile phone makers that are able to integrate iris recognition into upstream and downstream industry chains like Samsung is not much from the current number.

In addition to major international manufacturers, domestic mobile phone manufacturers also play an indispensable role in promoting the popularization of iris technology, just as they did when popularizing fingerprint identification. If you just use the iris recognition to do some simple unlocking, I believe many domestic mobile phone manufacturers can do it. The reason why they failed to form a potential, but also that these mobile phone manufacturers did not find a good application environment and selling point to do cut in, more still in a verification stage, detonated the mobile phone market, into a large-scale commercial application needs time.

However, in the long run, I think that the future of smart phones will gradually add support for iris recognition. In such a time when mobile phones are highly homogenized, iris recognition, as one of the few highlights, will rely on subsequent technological evolution to achieve leapfrog development.
