New Apple Patent Shows Sound Wave Sensors to Verify User's Voice
New research shows that Apple is studying how to make Siri detect specific sounds and determine their location only through vibration. Two newly leaked patent applications show that Apple is studying different ways for devices to detect people or interact with people. The main one is to allow Siri to recognize individual people and their spoken commands. The device does not require a conventional microphone. Apple’s project is called “Self-Mixing Interferometry Sensors Used to Sense Vibration of a Structural or Housing Component Defining an Exterior Surface of a Device”. It involves the...
