Though Samsung released numerous SmartWatches over the past two years, they are yet to find their winning formula like Galaxy S series in 2010. Now we've known that they are working on their project 'Orbis', which could be known as Samsung Gear A upon release. Lately, the Korean manufacturer has been aiming to bring security and functionality to its devices, with Knox 2.0 for its Galaxy smartphones.
Expectations of a consumer device with iris recognition may not be far-fetched, according to a new patent discovered by Patently Apple. The Samsung patent, filed in 2014, refers to iris recognition as one of the ways users can authenticate their identity on a SmartWatch that looks similar to the current Gear lineup but has some subtle differences. The user authentication methods used in the patent are referred to as “Biosignal ID,” and authentication can occur by way of gestures such as “opening a hand, clenching a fist, or rotating a wrist,” or body motions (such as iris glances and heartbeats/heart rate).
Biosignal ID may certainly be a new feature for Galaxy SmartWatches, but we’re sure Samsung fans are also curious about the SmartWatch in the patent. Keep in mind that this may just be a diagram SmartWatch for drawing purposes, but it just may give us a peak into the future.
