Possible Biometric Voice Recognition for the Huawei P50

There are still many questions about the new Huawei P50. If everything develops as in previous years, the new family should be presented around the month of March. However, it is not a normal year, neither for Huawei nor for the world. However, and despite the fact that the leaks of the future P50 are coming with a dropper, little by little we can put together a puzzle of what awaits us in terms of some of its great novelties.

As we say, many of Huawei’s questions go through knowing its plans for future launches, where the next P50s are included as the most anticipated flagships. The veto of the United States has only reduced the consumer division of the brand in the West, but that does not prevent Huawei from moving forward in many areas of its innovation.

The news now comes from Huawei Central, as they have identified a new patent from the Chinese firm, which refers to a voice recognition system , which will act as a biometric unlocking method in their next smartphones. Given the innovation that the P family always boasts, the P50 could be the best candidate to launch this system.

This system would work as one more secure unlocking method, alternative to the fingerprint sensor or facial unlocking. However, it is a highly debugging method that works in conjunction with the processor’s AI. The voice recognition system is not new in the field of biometric authentication. It works by analyzing a person’s voice to verify their identity. The airways and soft tissue cavities, as well as the shape and movement of the mouth and jaw, influence voice patterns to create a unique “voice print.”

According to the details of Huawei’s patent, the method will ask the user to enter a previously registered voice . The terminal will be able to collect that voice and generate a sample voice under far field conditions based on the voice record. Reference is made to the “robustness” of the system, in that it must be able to function properly under various conditions including background noise or when the volume is not high enough.

This system coincides with the one unveiled at the beginning of the year, where a new patent revealed Huawei’s intentions to integrate voice payments, based on biometric voice fingerprints. The big question now is to know if the signature will arrive in time for the launch of the P50, integrating this new unlocking system as a complement to those already known.
