4, face recognition to unlock the phone there is a potential risk, the photo can be unlocked
'Many handset manufacturers dare to enable face recognition technology without incorporating biometric technology, which is incredible to us.' The relevant person in charge from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Cloud Science and Technology, said that they are not familiar with the domestic handset recognition technology.
In early December, IT Times reporter selected the most popular vivo X20 and OPPO R11s on the market to unlock the face test. The test version is divided into the factory version and the latest upgrade version.
In the 'Factory Version' test, the reporter used a 1: 1-sized color print photo of a face to make a first portrait entry after having been mistaken for the 'face' by the vivo X20 under a dim light after several angle adjustments. Using the same photo can successfully unlock OPPO R11s failed to unlock the photos with success, but the middle of the system several times 'pause', resulting in real face can not be properly identified.
Face the risk of face recognition, vivo X20 and OPPO R11s are posted in the system eye-catching 'disclaimers' -' mobile phone may be the appearance and shape similar to people or items to unlock '' facial recognition security Lower than the fingerprint, pattern password, number password and custom alphanumeric password '' In the dark light, light and backlight environment, the face recognition unlock success rate will be reduced '... ... However, although admitted in the face recognition technology There are hard-to-find bugs, but in the current feature set of both phones, face-lock can be used to unlock screens as well as important features such as 'apply encryption' and 'file encryption'.
Comments: so many BUGs and traps, anyway, Wanwei Jun is not used, I heard that there are new technologies, but many mobile phone manufacturers are not 'cold', the fundamental reason is that 'slow' and 'expensive', we can see far When mature.
