For all those who have lived through the evolution of mobile telephony, it is easy to appreciate the value of having various unlocking methods. At this time, in addition to bypassing the card’s PIN, the user can choose between a password, pattern, PIN, face unlock and fingerprint unlock. However, Samsung is thinking of increasing these possibilities for the Samsung Galaxy S21.
The first data and rumors about the Galaxy S21 series are taking shape. During the last weeks we have been able to see their possible designs, as well as some technical features. Of what there is little doubt, is that the Galaxy S21 will release the One UI 3.1 version, in the same way that the Galaxy S20 came to release One UI 2.1 or the S10 did the same with One UI 1.1. Therefore, and although the other devices are later updated, the Galaxy S21 will have some exclusive news.
Biometric voice recognition
Now, it has been the SamMobile medium, which has advanced, that Samsung will be preparing a new method of biometric unlocking by voice . In this way, the user can unlock their device by means of an order. The same medium indicates that at the moment there are no details about its operation, but that it will be an option available within the security settings of the Galaxy S21 lock screen.
How does it work?
Speech recognition can be used for years in various fields as a method of biometric authentication. For its operation, it analyzes the voice of a person 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.”
Therefore, more than a “voice recognition” to use, we are talking about voice biometrics. We do not know how Samsung plans to implement it, but it would make sense that the user has to perform a registration in different phases, in the same way that it is done when the fingerprint unlock is registered. In this way, the speaker of the Galaxy S21 would be used to capture and record a biometric voice sample in order to create a reference template. When requesting the unlocking, the terminal will be able to analyze the unique qualities of the voice such as duration, intensity, dynamics or tone. We are sure that if the source is correct, we will know more details soon.
