Face Unlock might have been removed in the future?

Just read this:
http://www.patentlyapple.com/patent...sence-detection-security-for-ios-devices.html
Fruit Company applied the patent last August 2010, long before ICS was released.
What would happen if this patent granted?
Note that prior art won't save Google, because the change to first to patent :

F*ck, I hate this patent thing especially done by this Fruit Company!

No, Google would have to be copying it exactly the way Apple does it. Apple is talking about 3D stuff.

Chill. Just chill. Its not as serious as you think.

It would be completely ridiculous if the fruit company were awarded that patent since patents are only supposed to be awarded for the non-obvious. This kind of implementation has long been obvious since bio-metric technology has been around for over a decade. This is just one spin / flavor of that.

Patent and copyright law is killing the US... just plain stupid.

face unlock is b.s. anyway. i tried it out and found there were times when it couldn't even register my face & had me enter in the password... that and yeah, it does seem to have difficulty telling if it's actually you in front of the phone or a picture of you.

Obviously you are doing something wrong since it works perfect every time I've used it to show off.

I love face unlock, but it clearly needs more refinement. I hope Google brings that soon, I'm already pretty anxious for the 4.0.3 update.

The man who created it was the one who ran PittPatt and whom Google bought. The patent was approved in 2008 and filed in 2004.

Face unlock works great for me. Just take different captures in different lighting. Unless its pitch black I haven't had it fail, wearing a hat, hoodie, or glasses.

I setup face unlock from my waistline so I don't have to unlock my phone like a dingbat every time.

Face Unlock is a pretty old thing. There was computer software doing this already many years befor we had Android or iOS Devices. It's just another weird patent of Apple.
Even the way in the Apple patent to take the ratio of eyes, nose and mouth doesn't look new to me. I mean every crappy Webcam Software is doing this to recognize the parts of the face and do those weird big nose, big eyes, alien head and such effects.

You know I hate trolling just as much as the next guy but **** man! This is just one more right this sorry government is taking away from us! Every since 9/11 this country has turned to **** and they think they can do what ever the hell they want now! Every single right we have/had is slowly being takin away 1 by 1.

Don't worry, Google will be smart.
- In the next Android version they'll "re-invent" multi-touch and the other stuff.
- They'll probably also buy out a company just for their patents again.
- They'll probably just bite apple on the ass with patents against iOS if they ever come up in court.
Long live Android

Apple are patent trolls and will do anything to stop Android because they know that it's dominating the market. It's for this reason that from ICS and up the lockscreen is a ring and not slide to unlock - Apple had patented the slide to unlock mechanism. I wouldn't worry too much, all Apple are doing is forcing Google to be more innovative and come up with new designs etc. to counter the Apple patents. Apple are taking the cowards way out.

If they do that, they declare war to millions of people and they will damage their reputation as a leader. Leaders shouldn't act like a 5 year old and say: their my cookies even tough you're eating them, my mommie baked them!

Don't say thanks, hit thanks!

With these patents, they can also forbid all the museum stuff (touchscreen are really fashionable ), the cash machines, Windows Surface, all the modern devices...

It's alright, soon Apple will suffer and DIE in vain. And we will laugh at its grave.

Multitouch is nearly an industry standard. If Motorola can't implement their patents, then neither can Apple. If Motorola (owned by Google, btw) had their way, they would DESTROY all their competition, not just Apple, or even smartphone makers. They have patents for EVERYTHING, even fundamental radio technology that's currently in every phone produced post-2000. But no judge in their right mind would let them implement their patents and no judge will let Apple do the same.

Oh yea sure, the 4.65" AMOLED screen, contour display, no hardware keys on the front, asymmetrical width of the phone really remind me of the iPhone.

According to Apple you're infringing if you have a thing that does stuff.
Breathing? Forget about it, you're 27 years behind on your licensing payments already.

What I find funny is the trial date, March 2014, so what's the point in a trial to ban a part that most likely won't be on the market as a new device offering which would mean sales if any would be nearly non existence. Seriously they'd have to sue for the next two models just to make 2014 a relevant model or even year.

Depends if you get a preliminary injunction or not, which, as you can see from the trial date, would be pretty damaging.
Also, half of these lawsuits are just publicity stunts. By calling the Galaxy Nexus a "copycat product", millions of idiots who haven't even looked one up just read about it and automatically assume that it is.

Because Samsung CUT on potential Apple profit and PASTED it to their bank account..
yeah, copycat..

The LTE version has been a nightmare of this device. Luckily the 3rd one I received works. I consider myself lucky!
The 4G radio's in the phone do not work correctly in a large number of devices. I can only imagine how many users of this phone who do not visit sites like this are dealing with a GNEX that the 4G radio's craps out on and needs reboting to bring it back or the ones who can't even hold a 4G signal.
Let's not even touch the screen quality....
